Great Advice: Doctor Tells Venezuela's Chavez to Stop Talking

The last time someone did this it caused an international incident. This was actually medical advice, but all the same.

It's something few people can tell Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: stop talking.

Chavez, whose speeches often stretch five hours or more, said on Sunday his doctor told him to stay quiet for three days to help a sore throat.

Now maybe someone can advise Obama to dummy up before the Dow Jones hits zero.
