News is breaking out of Venezuela that long-time whackadoodle President Hugo Chavez has died. The 58 year old Chavez had been in poor physical condition for some time, and in poor mental shape for as long as anyone can remember. Chavez's death is just one more blow to the exclusive "Heads of state that wear insane hats" club, of which Hugo was a charter member.
As the news of Chavez's passing filtered out of Venezuela, suicide prevention specialists were dispatched to the homes of Sean Penn and Danny Glover, lest they decide to whack themselves upon hearing the news.
More importantly, today's events bring to a total of 3 the number of despotic wingnuts who have assumed room temperature since the era of SACSTW began. Perhaps the overwhelming logic and intellectual superiority of SACSTW was simply too much for their delicate psyches. Much work remains to be done.....
