iranian uranium; iranian uranium, iranian uranium..

So when ARE the Russians going to finish the iranian atoms for peace power plant?

The spin will be that Chavez was never a threat to begin with, since look how much he respects the political process. We were wrong about Chavez all along.

Chavez’s defeat shows that people value democracy. However, the vote wasn’t an outright slam dunk; the closeness also reveals that Venezuelans wanted Chavez to improve their international influence. They want some return for their oil investment, and we should expect that. What matters now is who will succeed Chavez, and how close Chavez will remain to the new president. If Chavez’s successor is simply a pronoun (i.e., a placeholder for Chavez until his name can come up again) then we’ll have the same problem, only indirectly. But if the successor builds his own political base, then that’s just regular democracy at work, and then I wouldn’t be too worried about Venezuela.

Let the gloves come off!

Here's a link to her apology.  It sounds sincere.   As I said several times, it was an inappropriate joke, but it didn't come across, in context, in the nasty manner of those afflicted with BDS.  

Her apology, a nearly unique thing from any media person, backs that up.

Hellary was quoted in the Des Moines Register saying, "I have said for months that I would much rather be attacking Republicans ... because ultimately, that's what I want to do as president"

Oh boy, she wants to be Prez so that she can attack Republicans. I guess she has zero plans to try to work together to make America a better place. It amazes me that she is even considered a "front-runner."

Good one on the Venezuelans for defeating Huguito's pathologically stupid "reforms".

In the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia (Barcelona), it read:

"He threatened everyone, as if Venezuela were his own banana plantation: Spanish banks; the opposition; Colombian president Alvaro Uribe; businessmen; oligarchs; the U.S.; Globovision; CNN; foreign correspondents; et cetera."

I'd wager that if an American newspaper or talking head called Venezuela a banana plantation, the entire third world would get their knickers in a knot and call us racists.

The article continues: "A cross between Juan Domingo Perón and Benito Mussolini, Chavez is
trying to implant a socialism about which it is only known that it will
be antidemocratic, with restrictions on freedom, on the road to
limiting human will to one single way of thought, one single ideology,
one single party, the single leader. And with Fidel Castro as the
supreme guide. Faced with this shadowy panorama, the number of
Venezuelans packing their suitcases increases."

HUCKABEE!
