Hugo!

Hugo calls George out, bam! Hugo Chavez is a man to watch. He's no freaked-out paranoid little Napoleon, either: the Bush administration has every reason to fear him, and vice-versa. Venezuela is one of our biggest sources of oil, and Hugo has no intention of selling it cheap, like so many other little dictators have done in the name of greed and nepotism. In fact, within a year of Chavez winning the Presidency -legally and transparently, I might add- the Bush administration sent flunky Otto Reich to organize a coup (it failed: Chavez's support among the people was genuine). Typical of the Bush administration, they didn't even have a viable candidate to put in Chavez's place had they managed to pull it off....

This could be very big. I mean, what if -all of a sudden- Africa could stand on its own again? You think India is a big market? heh

VERY interesting take on the Putin/Bush press conference following their meeting last week.

Just a few of the many reasons to boycott WalMart. Who wants a crappy neighbor?
