Away from Caracas, shortages even worse in Venezuela

[Zorro]

All the lady wanted was some chicken. But in shortage-plagued Venezuela, she waited in line five hours, only to go home empty-handed.

"I got here at 5:30 am and came away with nothing! It is just not fair that you have to work so hard -- and then put up with these lines," said an exasperated Lileana Diaz, a 49-year-old receptionist at a hospital emergency room.

Venezuelans have been enduring shortages of the most basic goods, such as toilet paper, for more than a year.

In Caracas, a cottage industry has emerged with people who will wait in line for you -- at a price.

1. Pfft, we all know it's really the CIA who's behind this

Either that, or Alvaro Uribe, or the lizard men, probably a collaboration between all of them.

In all seriosuness, though, I'm still wondering how the chavista here would even consider the "revolution" at this point a success.
