The one twinge-worthy aspect of Hugo Chavez’s speech was his insistence that Bush (and/or Americans at large) oughta quit watching Superman and Batman movies and start reading Noam Chomsky.

It reminds me of this graffiti left on the “Sporting News” stands which reads “Stoo-pid” — alongside the USA Today and Oregonian boxes marked with “LIES!”. There will be no room for such frivulous diversions in the coming Super-state as professional sports. We shall now only consume weighty material.

This is why The Beatles destroyed Communism, I suppose.

Incidentally, it is good that Hugo Chavez didn’t demand us to quit reading Superman and Batman comics, as Chomsky undoubtedly outsells Superman and Batman.
