The guy in the beginning of that film segment who lights the smoke- I have an old leather jacket exactly like that. I bought it at a garage sale fifteen years ago.

Hugo Chavez was evil, period. End of story.

Concrete beats abstract:

So how is it that the rubes, with their grease-stained hands, reeking of the smell of manure or chemical fertilizers, have outperformed the darlings of the information age? The answer lies largely in the forces that are reshaping the world. This includes, most portentously, rising demand for fuel, food and fiber in developing countries, notably in East Asia and Latin America.

Also in the unemployment report: 200,000 more adults drop out of the workforce.

Under Obama more American'ts drop out of the workforce than find work.

You that. Asswipe.

@8 dude, the Baby Boomers have started to retire.

That number will grow every year until (thinking about it) 2025 to 2030, when it will start to drop, until the equally large python of the X Gen hits around 2040 to 2045.

Get used to it.

@7: Wow, then I suggest you to fly off the WIllis tower. After all, gravity is not an absolute - at least I hope so in your case.

Had Chavez created a self-sustaining economy by nationalizing oil and other industries, one could applaud him, but instead he simply pulled a left-wing smash-and-grab which simply mimics the right-wing smash-and-grab going on elsewhere. Graft, corruption and croneyism are not magically absent in Venezuela. Chavez was a demagogue who failed to create a new social democracy.

4, Pfft. Chavez was a piker. Pinoche, Videla, Viola, Galtieri, Garcia & more, these men were "pure evil." Of course, right wing nutjobs like yourself always adored murderous thugs, gleefully licking the blood off their hands and singing over the graves of tortured trade workers, as long as they were right wing nutjobs like yourself.

@13 When I read #10, I thought we should check Will to see if he had been abducted by aliens or some-such given his cogent and compelling argument... Now I know it's just one of those days, as I am going to defend his post.

@13 "dude, are they immortal? there should also be old people dying and subtracting from the number of adults not in the workforce."

The Baby Boomers are so named because there was a surge population growth in their generation. This means that the cohort of older people who should be dying out of retirement to make way is smaller than the cohort retiring.

Add to this advances in medicine, nutrition, etc. and the end result is you're a stupid idiot.
