The Legend of Hugo Chavez continues. This time, he has attacked Mexico’s leader, President Fox, saying:
“Hay una copla en mi llano, usted que es hombre de caballos. Yo soy como el espinito, que en la sabana florea, le doy aroma al que pasa y espino al que me menea. No se meta conmigo, caballero, porque sale espinao”.
He had more to say. Here is a more complete account. Unbelievable.
The Latin Grammies recently went down and the Columbian artist Juanes carried the day. I am mentioning this because this guy has really great music. His most recent album is called “Mi Sangre” (My Blood). His website is here. The music is on the softer side of rock, and it is very melodic. His lyrics verge on sappy, although I find myself getting slightly choked up when I try to sing “Para tu Amor” while thinking about my wife. So, I guess it works. I highly recommend this.
The beautiful city of Mar Del Plata has been a scene for protest and controversy, mainly because of George W. Bush’s participation in the summit meeting being held there. One of the protestors cited by Fox News may very well demonstrate the intelligence level of his fellows:
Santiago Zamora, a 30-year-old biology student from northern Argentina, sported a red Che Guevara (search) shirt.
He said:
“We are going to fight against all forms of imperialism…”
Sigh…
It’s almost as funny as, say, Venezuela practicing repelling a U.S. invasion.
