1. Good question raised. Why the coup over the suspicion Zelaya meant to get another term,
and NOT ONE WORD over Uribe's bribery of Congress to get access to another bid for election?

Not one bleeping peep from our own whore media on Uribe's seizure through bribery of a new term.

The days are not nearly LONG enough to obsess over the absolute LIE Zelaya was attempting to ram through another term in office, when anyone with minimal consciousness can take the time to learn the constituent assembly, and any new constitutional rewrite would have only happened well AFTER Zelaya left office, anyway. Impossible for it to have happened otherwise.

People who do their own thinking would have spotted this in a heartbeat after learning the facts.

But..... one man is violently removed and thrown out of his own country of birth, the other oily, slimy little bastard, happily surrounded by layers of security, and paramilitaries, unlike Zelaya, who's lucky if he can access a "double wide mobile home" on a dirt road somewhere, is contemplating if he thinks he can manage to shrug off worrying about too many people watching him, wondering how one man can get so dirty while acting like Baby Jane, and go for broke and run a third time.

Here's a short clip: Jaime Garzon "Alvaro Uribe el dictador que necesitamos"
by political comedian, Jaime Garzono, who was murdered by paramilitaries after a series of death threats, while sitting at a traffic light in Colombia:
