- Brazil's Lula told everyone to calm the f down regarding the "arms race" in South America. And he stuck up for his boy too: "Venezuela is a country with huge amounts of oil and natural gas, and Chavez was the victim of a coup, so it's normal that he is getting prepared."
- The Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor doesn't think the Colombian FTA is a good idea, and not just because of its union leader dropout rate. Rep. George Miller (D-CA) has also heard about the whole drug running/ wiretapping M.O. of Alvaro Uribe's intelligence service, DAS.
- The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) is all up in a tizzy again about Chavez, Morales, etc. Shockingly, there was no emergency session regarding the pro-coup bullshit coming from Hondruan newspapers La Prensa and El Herldo (owned by the president of the IAPA international commission, Jorge Canahuati).
- Ecuador and Alvaro Uribe celebrate as the yanquis leave Manta foreva.
- "Anti-capitalist" banking policies have saved Brazil from the brunt of the financial crisis. The masters of the universe are about to take notes at the upcoming G20 Summit.

According to this video, Venezuela isn't even close to having the biggest arms arsenal in South America. http://www.newsy.com/videos/red_venezuela

Good on George Miller. Thankfully, there will be no more problems with the Colombian government spying on the opposition, journalists, human rights observes, diplomats, Supreme Court judges, prosecutors, and the like, because Alvaro Uribe says he's going to dissolve the awful, terrible no-good DAS agency and start a new agency, which of course will be totally different because the President of Colombia is always being bothered by these mysterious 'rogue criminal elements' within his government that do exactly what he wants and who were actually nominated and appointed by Uribe himself. Darndest thing, the unlucky guy.
