Still a Democracy. 'How about you?'

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 20:00:31 GMT

clipped by: righthand
clipper's remarks: The voters will decide, with a far stronger opposition media than exists in the USA proselytising against the government. Venezuelans have not lost civil liberties the way people in the US or the UK have in recent years, and ordinary citizens continue to have more say in their government, and share more in its oil wealth, than ever before. It is doubtful that the referendum will reverse these changes, regardless of the outcome.

He does seem to be trying to give the poor some healthcare and some hope. 'How about you?'

World Affairs

Venezuela: still a democracy

the mainstream media generally abandons quaint notions of balance and objectivity when reporting on Venezuela

this often extends to left-of-centre newspapers not known to slavishly follow the Bush administration's lead when reporting on other oil states where regime change is either sought, Iran, or in process, Iraq

President Lula da Silva of Brazil defended Venezuela last week, asking why "people did not complain when Margaret Thatcher spent so many years in power"

"You can invent anything you want to criticise Chavez, but not for lack of democracy." Lula has repeatedly defended Venezuela's government as democratic, but these comments are never reported in the English language media

if Hillary Clinton is elected next year, we will have Bushes and Clintons as heads of state for a full consecutive 24 years

Chavez is also castigated for proposing to get rid of the independence of the Central Bank

there are sound economic reasons for this amendment.

Dinosaur Skeleton Found in Argentina

(AP) -- The skeleton of what could be a new dinosaur species - a giant, Patagonian plant-eater - has been uncovered in Argentina. At more than 105 feet, it is among the largest ever found, scientists said Monday.

Scientists from Argentina and Brazil said the Patagonian dinosaur appears to represent a previously unknown species because of the unique structure of its neck. They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for "giant" and "chief," and for Duke Energy Argentina, which helped fund the skeleton's excavation.

"This is one of the biggest in the world and one of the most complete of these giants that exist," said Jorge Calvo, director of paleontology center of National University of Comahue, Argentina, lead author of a study on the dinosaur published in the peer-reviewed Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.

Scientists said the giant herbivore walked the Earth some 88 million years ago.

clipper's remarks: Bacha is from Iraq," it´s a Of all the dishes, this is the one most likely to be mistaken for a threatening message from the mob. It’s a sheep’s head. Boiled."

And in Brazil there´s a dish from ant´s eggs to (the ant is called "tanajura",it´s eaten friend with fried manioc flour. ) (never tried and I dont wanna)

The last one Balut if from Philippines, "Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.
They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand. You can spot the vendors because of their glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children screaming."

Escamoles

From:
Mexico.

What the hell is it?
Escamoles are the eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant, which makes its home in the root systems of maguey and agave plants. Collecting the eggs is a uniquely unpleasant job, since the ants are highly venomous and have some kind of blood grudge against human orifices.

Casu Marzu

From:
Sardinia, Italy.

What the hell is it?
This, dear reader, is a medium-sized lump of Sweet Fucking Christ. Casu Marzu is a sheep’s milk cheese that has been deliberately infested by a Piophila casei, the "cheese fly." The result is a maggot-ridden, weeping stink bomb in an advanced state of decomposition.

Lutefisk

From:
Norway.

What the hell is it?
Ahhh, Lutefisk. After the larvae-ridden cheese, it's a blessed relief to sample a clean, down-to-earth Scandinavian recipe.

Baby Mice Wine

From:
Korea.

What the hell is it?
What better to wash down your gelatinous lumps of lye fish than a nice chilled cup of dead mice? What better indeed.

clipper's remarks: If you saw the film "The Mission" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mission_%28film%29) with Robert De Nio, you can have an idea of this place. It´s a sad aprt of our History.
"In 1570, treaty of Madrid ruled the reductions localized in the brazilian territory become property of the Portugal Kingdon. Natives didn´t accept and began the war called Guaranitical (from the word Guarani, native) Wars. Native resistence was coordinated by the native 'Sepe Tiaraju' and his historical slogan: "This land has an owner!". Although navites was victorious in the early begining the war against luso and hispanic troops due to knowledge of the terrain, more entusiasm and tactical mobility, the troops of the kingdon prevail due to technological superiorty and fire power."

clipper's remarks: A filmagem de "Blindness" já passou pelo Canadá, Uruguai e agora a troupe de mais de 200 pessoas, atores e técnicos, está a pleno vapor em São Paulo. Mas onde? Ninguém sabe, segredo de estado.

Ontem, domingo, este intrépido repórter passou o dia no set de filmagem. Não posso revelar muita coisa, até porque num filme sobre cegos é imprescindível que o véu do mistério se sobreponha à nossa curiosidade.
