Referendum This Sunday
The polls for the referendum, which consists of the things discussed in my previous post, are happening this Sunday. Unfortunately, I'm too far away to do my vote, but I really hope there's enough sane people voting for it. I also hope that they don't rig the votes, but who knows what happens in such a unorganized country.
Today I saw USA Today, and there was an article about Chávez and the Referendum. When I moved to the United States ten years ago, most people had no clue that Venezuela was located in South America. Some people still don't today, but I do get a whole lot of "what's the deal with your president?". I guess Chavez is making Venezuela popular and known these days, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

You're right -- everyone knows who Chavez is! As controversial as most of what he's quoted for is, I find it really refreshing in contrast to the usual stuffy, stifled rhetoric of politicians. Chavez speaks his mind in terms everyone can understand!
