I know what you're thinking. Why is my mechanic brandishing that Penguin Portable English/Spanish Dictionary? Is he drunk?

First off, that's the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. And he's brandishing his country's constitution while threatening the United States with a "hundred year war," or guerra cientos años.

My mechanic's the President of Venezuela?

No, you racist bastard. While your mechanic might be Venezuelan, he's most certainly not the President of the oil-rich South American nation.

So why is Chavez so irritable? He's concerned he could be the next target of a US ouster, and he had some tough talk for us on Venezuelan TV Sunday. Not only did he promise any US invasion would be met with a "hundred year war," he also promised that should the US make any moves on him, we can kiss Venezuelan oil, which accounts for 15% of our imports, goodbye.

I really wish someone would invent a "Mr. Fusion" like the one in Back to the Future already. That'd be a relief.
