They’ve got trucks lined up side by side so while it may not cut it down to one at a tiume, it definitely would require single file lines to get through.

Just spending a few hours watching Venezuelan news, aven though I can’t speak an intelligible sentence in Spanish, I noticed a few things:

The president of Bolivia hates us

The tensions between Columbia and Venezuela are starting to take their toll economically and now Presidente Uribe (Columbia) is no longer a tool of the west but a brother. Could the whole Honduras thing just be cover for ditching FARC? Is the dictatorship now that cozy that they can throw their comrades under the bus? In any event it has something to do with the US, at least as far as I can make out

Oil prices are generally compared by region/entity, that being Venezuela, OPEC, North Sea and Texas.

The president of Bolivia hates us

Addressing his troops seated at a desk to hide his beer gut, with a map on one side and a portrait of some 19th century general on the other (like a velvet Elvis only older), wearing BDUs, it is clear that Chavez ain’t no Patton....If there is a hollywood stereotype of Latin American dictator then he fits it to a Tee

Malathion is killing poor farmers and it is our fault I think.

The minister of the government (prime minister???) of Bolivia hates us and blames us for something. Malathion I think.

The UN representative insists that Zelaya is a democratically elected dictator and should be allowed to return.

A couple hundred zelaya supporters at most seem to prefer red headgear. A few thousand loyal Hondurans in the capitol seem to prefer blue.

Evo Morales (that same president of Bilivia, remember him earlier?) seems to think the US is using their military to keep Zelaya out.

Like Italians, these people use their hands to great effect when speaking. None of that subdued Bill Clinton burger flipping stuff. Real expression.

Apparently when it gets dark everyone just goes home.

Eye opening.
