**Written by Doug Powers How do you say “Let’s Move” in Spanish? President Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelans on Sunday to cut their calories to avoid obesity — the latest lifestyle recommendation by the self-proclaimed socialist crusader. Chavez has lobbied in recent weeks against what he calls the evils of capitalism, including alcoholism, breast implants and [...]

To follow this, you must assume the following: A) There was once an intelligent civilization on Mars, and B) They had Starbucks, Baby Gaps, a stock exchange, lots of smokestacks, zero scrubber technology and lived in an alternate reality written and directed [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Contained in an interview in which the Marxist/capitalist (or is it the other way around?) actor griped about losing half of everything he has in his divorce is an unwarranted slap in the face to Hugo Chavez: “Let’s face it,” [Penn] declared, “I’m a person that feels pretty alienated from the [...]

**Written by Doug Powers The president, on the way back from the NATO summit in Portugal, seems in no particular hurry to return to Slurpeeland.

Oil pimp.

Important? Very.
Surprising? Not very.

The Democrat Party’s socialist fan club.

Ouch.

Another Obama supporter disenfranchised…

Hugo and Obama ought to be nervous.

Which would make them pretty close.

Campaign finance has never been so exciting!

Punked.

Estupido.

“Say it with pride.”

“…and look how I am.”

Thug love.

Poser.

How do you say “punked” in Spanish?

Thugocracy on the ballot.

“Nothing less than an attempt to establish a socialist state in Venezuela.”

Sean Penn, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, and Danny Glover were unavailable for comment.

Loco.

“Until the last bone of my skeleton dries out!”
