I'm back from a week-long trip to Guatemala. It was wonderful and relaxing and I wish I could've stayed in the hotel pool forever. Some quick notes:
-I hadn't realized how stressed I was by what's been going on here. It was beyond weird to realize I could walk down the street and actually go out into the city without worrying about whether protesters were holding up traffic or wondering whether something terrible was going to happen that day.
-Guatemala is gorgeous. Everyone we met was incredibly polite and nice. Again, what a difference to not have everyone around you looking anxious and angry.
-It all made me feel very sad for my country.
-Guatemala has the best coffee in the universe.
And so on. But see? it's been two weeks since that clown has been back, one week since the other clown has been claiming that something is gonna happen and...?
Yeah! What's happened? FUCK ALL. Hurrah for advancement and dialogue!
Honestly, who do they think they're fooling? They'll work out some shady deal, divide all the power between them while everything is conveniently forgotten and the rest of the country will be just as fucked over as we've always been. Aren't we lucky to have such brave, principled, worthy leaders?
Someone left a comment recently asking me to state which side of this craziness I was standing on. Whether I support Zelaya or Micheletti. All I have to say to that is: bitch, please. It's like asking whether you'd prefer to sit in a cow pat or horse droppings. Either way you'll just end up covered in shit.

So glad to have you back, Miss Figgehlicious.
I have missed the cutting edge of snark.
Glad your vacation was good. I can't help to believe that you could've done the EE this week though. It's fun, but oh, uppin's are coming.
By the way, why don't you just run for President? It couldn't possibly get any worse.
Horse droppings are preferable.
Trust me on this. ;)
"It's like asking whether you'd prefer to sit in a cow pat or horse droppings. Either way you'll just end up covered in shit."
Ah, the cynical 'Team America' answer. So wise. Also the perfect way to avoid thinking about the question. Seriously, who would you prefer if you were forced to make a choice?
