Onkos operation...

---

[Updated 5pm] Krusty the clown was to be operated on yesterday or today last night ...there's no news yet but his sickness is the worst possible scenario for Chavismo: "Chavez's popularity has risen, the voter's intention has not grown accordingly."

Onkos (ὄγκος) from ancient Greek meaning bulk, mass, or tumor (hence oncology etc).
