Politics, Foreign and Domestic

FOREIGN

Hugo Chavez of Venezuela failed in his bid to be El Presidente for Life. Whilst y'all are cheering and dancing, I would remind you that the referendum results were 51% to 49%. That is NOT a huge margin of victory. Prediction: He tries again.

Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, cruised to a lop-sided victory in Russia. Look for Vlad The Bad to be a behind-the-scenes force for years to come in Russia.

DOMESTIC

Hillary and Barack are having at each other, likewise Rudy, Mitt, Mike and Fred. At least RMM&F are slanging each other over relatively substantive issues. Hillary and Barack are having it out over... what Barack said in Kindergarten?

Aww, c'mon Dems, you can do better than that!

Can't you?
