Giuseppe:
I was referring to the Terra Forming not the CO2. We need more CO2, the normal state of the earth, 75% of the last million years is ice age, we don’t need that.

Canada is a fool for mowing its forest and polluting its water for some black goop, and useless US dollars.

95% of the worlds oil is controlled by sovereign entities who extract a decent tax on the non-renewable resource. Only the US and Canada let the Oil companies have a ‘free’ market. So yes Canada is a main cause of the US addiction to cheap energy and thus their jingoistic world view. Only the US can afford to be that way abetted by bombs and cheap fuel.

No problem at all Mr Supergeek.

I’m surprised so few [even] here appear to notice another Latin American coup, and appear to be gripped by the monomanical politics of American grievance.

This sort of thing must be ingrained in the collective conciousness down south.

Elecciones insólitas

No está convencido.

No está para nada convencido.

Le han dado a entender que puede elegir entre una banana, un tratado de Gabriel Marcel, tres pares de calcetines de nilón, una cafetera garantida, una rubia de costumbres elásticas, o la jubilación antes de la edad reglamentaria, pero sin embargo no está convencido.

Su reticencia provoca el insomnio de algunos funcionarios, de un cura y de la policía local.

Como no está convencido, han empezado a pensar si no habría que tomar medidas para expulsarlo del país.

Se lo han dado a entender, sin violencia, amablemente.

Entonces ha dicho: “En ese caso, elijo la banana.”

Desconfían de él, es natural.

Hubiera sido mucho más tranquilizador que eligiese la cafetera, o por lo menos la rubia.

No deja de ser extraño que haya preferido la banana.

Se tiene la intención de estudiar nuevamente el caso.

BBC look like they’re filming from El Salvador.

vs. CNN have a reporter summarising what Zelaya has said to Telsur, interjecting his own comments.

vs. Al Jaz, who run a full translation over Zaleya’s statement and extended answers to questions put by Telesur.

He’s says not possible to land as military have blocked the runway with trucks. He will state his next actions shortly…

Al Jaz now how pictures of [what I presume is] the boy’s mother, and her child being picked up off the ground and taken towards a truck.

Talking to reporter on the ground, she says the crowd cheering airplanes passing over the airport. Reporter spoke to control tower, who said he could confirm Zelaya plane had entered Honduran airspace, but radar had gone blank.

We’re all plane-spotters now. ;o)

@harry_w – yes, both cnn and bbc are clearly very, very unsympathetic to the peasants though the bbc is being permitted to confirm that at least one person has died
