Beam me up, Hugo, thirsty Martians await!
As a keen observer of world events, international politics and what those idiots next door are doing (Do they really think I can't see them through those skimpy curtains?), I was intrigued by recent comments from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Earth Hour plays well with social media
It’s symbolic. It doesn’t actually help anything. It’s such a waste, you shouldn’t even think twice about it.
