I've been looking for this clip

This is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

The explanation of why Venezuela changed the time forward or backward or forward or you figure it out!!!!

It could get ugly....

http://www.world-check.com/articles/2008/03/02/yet-another-high-risk-indicator-venezuela-surfaces/

Article about shipments of weapons from Brazil to Venezuela, delivered directly to Miraflores. He ain't goin' quietly folks. Maybe the real revolution will take place to oust Chavez and his cronies and re-establish order in Venezuela.

FYI - I have no background on the author, or the web site the article comes from.

Quite an accusation - El Burro lavando dinero

http://www.world-check.com/articles/2008/02/26/us-go-after-billions-laundered-venezuelan-money/

The article articulates a discovery by the US Treasury of the government of Venezuela laundering money for terrorist organizations. Could be interesting.

Llanera.com - Great music!!!

Go to http://www.llanera.com/emisora/ if you like good llanera music (harp, cuatro, guitar, maracas).

This transports me back to Ciudad Bolivar, and travelling up and down the Orinoco River.

The twist is that alot of the music is political in the lyrics, surprisingly enough against Chavez from what I can tell.

Of all Latin music, I think Venezuela has the best.

What about kidnapped Venezuelans?

Chavez, in his effort to grab international headlines, has forgotten that Veneuelans are in the mix of FARC and ELN hostages.

How sad that Chavez forgets his own people.

Of course murdering and crime is bad enough in Venezuela and he's not done a thing about that. I guess this is on his laundry list of 'to dos', just at the bottom.

Kiss and make up

Correa and Uribe made up in the Dominican at the Rio Group summit.

Uribe rolled the dice and won. As the article states, he knew it would be a gamble, but didn't think his neighbor to the East would stick his big nose into. (What Uribe forgot is that El Burro is scared Colombia will do the same thing on Venezuelan soil and it will even further prove that El Burro is a liar.)

Why Chavez deflects attention from what is happening in Venezuela

The Christian Science Monitor has a great piece on Chavez' waning popularity in Venezuela.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in Venezuela. The question on my mind, as voiced in other articles I've read, is will Chavez and his supporters go quietly when he is defeated? And whose side is the military on? The answer to that question may ultimately decide the fate of Chavez' movement.
