**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 […]

**Written by Doug Powers Granted there’s a lot of speculation in Hugo’s statement. 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 […]

Today’s poster-boy […]

Click on the link for the full-size photo if you must. I can’t stand to look at our president’s dumb grin as he warmly greets Venezuela’s thug-in-chief: Gag. And another handholding pic here: Ew. Did anyone smell sulfur during the photo op? Now, the Evil Clown (as Allahpundit calls him) can add his friendly pic […]

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.
