Thank you for the compliments sockmonkey.

I got really disgusted over the weekend and Monday and Tuesday listening to the MSM tell us that Lopez Obrador was a "Mexican Liberal." Uggghhhhhh!

If I had to put odds on whether the situation will get out of control today, I would say they are 75% to stay in control. But that means I rate the possibility things will come unraveled at 25%, which does not make me comfortable at all. And in the event that the long-term consequences of the stage Lopez Obrador is setting today portend for a guarantee of widespread conflict in Mexico, it's not going to sneak up on us. The intimidation of the national authority is already present in Lopez Obrador's actions, that's enough to keep an eye on him.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is a real danger to stability on our southern border. Hugo Chavez doesn't even come close to presenting us with the kind of threat Lopez Obrador represents.

I wonder if they still have El Mercado Sabado in San Angel. That's where I would be today: at the other end of Avenida Reforma!

It's interesting that you would say that. Is it because Chavez is such a buffoon, or just because he's further away?

Chavez does have international connections that Obrador seems to lack, but I suppose that as soon as Obrador took power in Mexico, all the usual suspects - Cuba, Iran, NK, etc. - would be flocking to meet him. Definitely not a good situation for us.
