But Chávez is still going after the U.S. on his hours-long Sunday television show, Alo Presidente! (This week he repeated his claim that the CIA was somehow involved in the Honduran coup and warned Obama not to try to "trick us with ambiguous discourse or a smile.")

Then they go on to have offspring that tend to be small themselves - and have a better chance of survival because of the increasingly mild winters.
