Good Morning from Guadalajara

New President in Bolivia. Congress chose the head of the Supreme Court, not the leader of the Senate. There will be elections soon. Barrio Flores and MABB, as always, have more.

Democracy Arsenal defends the ideology of Truman Democrats almost better than the Truman Democrats do on their webpage.

Anne-Marie Slaughter, blogging over at TPMcafe, quotes me on Venezuela. I find it funny that I try to convince liberals that Chavez is bad for Venezuelan democracy while I work to convince the other side that Chavez is not the source of all evil in Latin America (for more, read the comments here). I haven't quite reached the point Randy Paul is at about Venezuela, but it is very frustrating to find both sides so entrenched in their views.

As a public service announcement, I'll remind people of who's in first in the National League East standings.

Anyway, more fun later, but I'm supposed to be on vacation. Driving to the coast just north of Puerto Vallarta this morning where I'll spend two days possibly without internet connection. Assuming I don't enter some sort of rehab facility for the withdrawl symptoms, I'll be back online on Sunday night, but still on vacation through Tuesday.
