Doug Powers is awesome!

Today he notes the words of nutbag dictator Hugo Chavez:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.

"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water.

(as quoted by Powers. Here is the link to the actual.)

The best part is What powers says at the end of his post:

Maybe Hugo should take Sean Penn (and) all the rest of his friends and go to the planet that capitalism failed to establish a Marxist utopia. The journey itself would be worth watching. Have you ever seen how a parrot responds to weightlessness? It's hilarious.

Before you jump up today and say HELL YEAH!, take a moment and see who arrived at the station first ...

Then jump up and give Doug the HELL YEAH he deserves!
