DEP Hugo Chávez

It felt a bit weird looking at the Internet covers of three British newspapers (two broadsheets of differing political ideologies and a tabloid [but not The Sun]), and seeing that the death (or announcement) of Hugo Chávez is NOT front page news in the UK!  It is here, in Chile obviously, though I would imagine it's an even bigger story north of Chile/Argentina/ (and maybe) Brazil.

The man was certainly divisive in life... a true man of the people and a defender of the poor... but looking at the state of the Venezuelan economy, Venezuelan crime and security, and what's been done with the oil money, I can't not say he's obviously not overseen some massive problems in the Venezuelan state.

It's actually legal to get married via Skype??  Apparently it is in some parts of the U.S.!  With few exceptions, surely the married couple should be meeting in person on their wedding day!
