SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 10:22 A.M. ET: 

From Fox:  Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez thinks capitalism may be responsible for the lack of life on the planet Mars.  "I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in a speech on Tuesday. 

Aren't you, like me, sick of spending so much on scientific research, when answers are so readily available from Hugo Chavez?  Let's suck it up and cancel any further exploration on Mars.  We have all the answers we need.
