According to the New York Times, "The National Assembly approved a constitutional overhaul on Friday that would enhance President Hugo Chávez’s authority, allowing him to be re-elected indefinitely and giving him the power to handpick rulers, to be called vice presidents, for various new regions to be created in the country."
Also, Putin gave a top state award to a Soviet spy who discovered American atomic secrets and expedited Soviet atomic bomb production.
It's almost humorous when you think about these two leaders--they are actually the most entertaining figures in international relations. With each passing news article, one keeps wondering, "Wow, what sort of shenanigans will these guys get into next?"
