Ugh.

So, we have a new President. The shit isn't over yet, though. But really I can't even think about this stuff anymore and I need to relax. hopefully things will be calm tomorrow, though I doubt they will. But we'll see. Send your good thoughts and prayers that those calling for military action (fuck you, Hugo Chavez) will see some sense and just stop.

So, I found a pretty good article talking about this ridiculous trend going on in Latin America of people megalomaniacs wanting to stay in power forever. Read it, it's a pretty good description of what's going on here and how it came to happen:

Another good article summing things up nicely:

http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wxxi/news.newsmain/article/0/0/1523300/World/Protests.erupt..shots.fired.after.Honduras.coup

Important things from there:
1) Mel Zelaya has 30% approval rating. That doesn't exactly say "support of the people", does it?
2) What the FUCK does Hugo Chavez have to do with our country? NOTHING. Yet he's calling for troops and violent action. Great.
3) Our President is a millionaire businessman. Always has been. Man of the people, my ass.

Ugh. The lies the international press is buying. It's disgusting.

Goodnight, guys. I'm done for the day.

I don't know if people are buying lies dude, it's not like the UN or the Obama administration is full of stupid people. It sounds to me like these people WANT a dictator in Honduras. But that's just the cynic in me talking. They keep calling it a coup when they already know it was voted on by Congress and when they know Zelaya broke the law. How could they not know?
