By now everyone knows the story, On October 21st. Hugo Chávez remotely inaugurated an ice cream factory in Falcón State, which was supposed to sell about 600,000 units a month under the name Coppelia. The project is one of those hairbrained hodgepodge projects that Chávez likes to waste money on: It is supposed to be a Cuban brand, but the whole thing was built and put together by an Argentinean company.
Maybe el Presidente Chavez will fix the problems by inventing solar flavored ice cream; or perhaps he will use solar panels from a new version of Solyndra once President Obama finds time in his busy schedule to sponsor one. The latter could substantially increase cooperation between Venezuela and the United States.
