Sean Penn takes ‘love thy enemy’ to another level
This Week’s Top Scrooge

I used to be a peacenik. You know the kind. The one that wants to get along with everyone. The give-peace-a-chance kind. Also, the one that asks, "Can't we all just get along?" ala Rodney King.
So, I still kind of understand where actor Sean Penn's head is at when he goes to totalitarian led countries and hobnobs with psycho leaders. But I only kinda of get it.
In fact, I don't have much sympathy for Penn's "fact finding" tour in Iraq or his recent visit with Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. The whole enchilada tastes of sour milk.
Thirteen years ago, I was naive and misguided. I thought evil was something you could shake a stick at and it would go away. I understand evil better now and it is real and not something you can invite for a cup of tea...or a jaunt in the countryside as our friend Penn did.
I'm not a sappy American patriot either, but I love my country. Penn's schmoozing with a guy that hates the U.S. shows that although the actor may be intelligent, may really think he is doing what is best, he is really is quite stupid. So stupid, that I've picked him as This Week's Top Scrooge.

Can Hugo Chavez go down on YouTube, blogs?
This Week’s Top Scrooge - June 1, 2007

International boneheads have not been my forte when naming This Week's Top Scrooge every week. I figure we have enough wayward humans, "swimming" 90 miles in the wrong direction in our own country to spotlight.
But this week, I just have to go to South America. To Venezuela, where Mr. Hugo Chavez resides...and, by the way, rules the country in much the same way his pinhead friends Castro, Ahmadinejad, and the now-departed Hussein did.
Earlier this week, Chavez shut down Radio Caracas Television, accusing the station of violating broadcast laws and supporting a botched coup against him in 2002. He replaced RCTV on Monday with a state-run broadcast station.
RCTV, which had been on air for 53 years, aired soap operas, programs and news broadcasts with a decidedly anti-governmental perspective. It was one of only a handful of private broadcast stations in Venezuela that openly criticized the government. Another, Globovision, has received similar threats from Chavez regarding its right to broadcast.
How conve-eee-niate! Could it be the work of the...oh, let's say DEVIL? The devil which Chavez so assuredly pins constantly on others such as President Bush and even just plain ol' America?
