The great thing about being a dictator is you can make any ridiculous claim and no one in your country can dispute you -so if Kim Jong Il wants to claim he is Batman, well, okay.

Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez has declared himself a science expert recently, further asserting capitalism is so awful it killed life on Mars.  Yes, he is scientifically asserting that Mars once had water and "it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet."

Happy World Water Day!
