51% win! Thanks to the students and all their effort. They made this possible. That maniac will hopefully not be our president come 2012. It almost makes me want to go back and be in my country.

Anyway, here's a really good article about yestarday.

"Why don't you shut up?" the king shouted at Chavez, pointing a finger at the president when he tried to interrupt a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

Serves him right. For blabbering on and on.

"Venezuela's National Assembly, dominated by allies of President Hugo Chávez, gave unanimous initial approval Tuesday to constitutional changes that would allow him to run for re-election and possibly govern for decades."

Great. Now he'll never leave.

"Venezuela's replacement of an opposition television station on Monday with a state network promoting President Hugo Chavez's socialist revolution drew sharp criticism that the former soldier is attacking democratic freedoms."

I'm so sad. I mean its just so... wrong.

A president shouldn't have the power to do this.

Llega Semana Santa y la gente deja de ser gente. El gobierno implemento la "ley seca", donde no se permite vender/comprar alcohol por la mayoria de la semana. Con todo y eso, botellas fueron lanzadas a todo el mundo, peor aun, un tipo saco una pistola y se puso a disparar a la gente.

Es este momento en el que me da pena ser venezolana. Pero al mismo tiempo, vean y aprendan. La violencia nunca llega a nada.

Edicion: no me fije, pero los primeros 2 segundos del video 2, muestran a un tipo con una pistola en la mano.
