Welcome to Your Colony

Heres a link to today's BBC article about President Bush's visit to Colombia today. Kudos for excellent reporting! (note the sarcasm)

First, thank you Laura for your incredible writing.  If only satire could stop herbicide, guns, and money immediately...

Now, back to the news.  From today's Democracy Now! Headlines:

In news from Colombia, president Alvaro Uribe has signed into law a constitutional amendment that will allow him to run for re-election. The amendment also bars any opponents from launching their campaigns until four months before the presidential election. Uribe's current term expires in August 2006. Re-election would keep him in power until 2010.

(Will the Bush administration let their puppet have all the fun?  A novel billed as a "sequel" to Orwell's 1984, hawked by BuzzFlash, has Bush in his fourth term...)
