President Evo Morales, the fat-faced chipmunk on the right of the photo, is throwing his toys out of the pram after the Bolivian upper chamber refused to sign legislation that would concentrate more power in his sausage-like fingers.

So someone somewhere did learn from the passage of the Enabling Act in 1933.

He’s gone on a hunger strike (or so he says – I’m betting that he’s cheating pretty frequently) in protest.

Because hunger strikes are always so successful.

Can we take a new line with captured terrorists?  Can we simply not give them food and claim that they’re on a self-imposed hunger strike?

That way, no one has to expend any energy beating or torturing them, plus the terrorists experience a slow, lingering death.

Win-win!
