VENEZUELA DUFFS GOLF

BANZAI7 NEWS--Fresh from nationalizing almost every capitalist enterprise that yields a profit (or used to anyway), Latin American strongman Hugo Chavez has found a new class enemy: golf. Declaring it a "bourgeois" sport, the Venezuelan leader ordered the shut-down of some of the country's best-known golf courses. Sources indicate Chavez has a slice that would turn Che Guevara over in his grave.

Chavez is certainly not a "chip" off the old Eastern block.
