Hugo wants a nice shiny boomy thing

Venezuelan leader asshat extrordinaire Hugo Chavez is a moron. He believes that socialism works and is stealing Venezuela's future to prove it. Now, this power grab -- from Frank Munger's excellent blog:
Ex-Los Alamos pair indicted in nuke sting
A scientist and his wife who both once worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory were arrested Friday after an FBI sting operation and charged with conspiring to help develop a nuclear weapon for Venezuela.

After their arrest, the two appeared in federal court in Albuquerque, N.M.

They were accused of dealing with an FBI undercover agent posing as a Venezuelan agent. The government did not allege that Venezuela or anyone working for it sought U.S. secrets.

The pair were indicted for allegedly communicating classified nuclear weapons data to a person they believed to be a Venezuelan government official.
And a bit more:
According to the indictment, Pedro Mascheroni told an undercover agent he could help Venezuela develop a nuclear bomb within 10 years and that under his program, Venezuela would use a secret, underground nuclear reactor to produce and enrich plutonium, and an open, above-ground reactor to produce nuclear energy.
These idiots think that if they believe long enough and hard enough and sincerely enough, that their socialist utopia will actually stand a chance of working. Re-balance the power, destabilize the capitalists, pull the rug out from under everything great that people have done in the last 1,000 years and start anew with some twaddle from some academics that have never held positions of responsibility. Morons. Posted by DaveH at September 19, 2010 11:07 PM
