What would we do here in the US if the Military turned on us??  Hmm, we would probably die...

I Love A Nice Cup Of Coup

President Mamadou Tandja is toast, for doing the same thing as Honduras' President tried last year...stay in office longer than the Constitution says. Why can't they do this in Venezuela, have a coup?? Every time you see a pic of Tandja, he is shaking hands with someone from China. The people need China and Tandja out of their back pockets. Talk about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, this is really it.

I love that after it was over, state radio (like CSPAN here) was playing military marches. Too funny.
