I know everybody loves ol' Hugo, so when I came across this story I thought I'd share it:
``Pack your bags and turn off the lights,'' Chavez said during a televised speech to soldiers in Caracas. ``There won't be a new concession for a coup-mongering television station called RCTV.''

RCTV would be the first private television station shut down by Chavez. The president, who won a second six-year term in a Dec. 3 vote, in June threatened to shut private television stations that criticize the government and broadcast ``messages of hate.''

``Chavez is looking to keep the opposition quiet, to threaten his enemies,'' said Luis Vicente Leon, director of polling company Datanalisis in Caracas. ``It will inspire self- censorship in the rest of the media, and where there's self- censorship, there's no free speech.''
Chavez also said he will seek to change the name of the country's military to the Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela, adding the name of 19th century South American liberator Simon Bolivar.

The name change would be part of an overhaul of the constitution next year, Chavez said. The president this month said he will seek to change the constitution to end term limits on presidential re-election.
