mentioning these things as a "reality check" for those who would

is in this hemisphere between Venezuela and Columbia and the Bushies got
to be licking their chops.

Hey, some of us aren't attached to what is going on. We're just

people to throw a monkey wrench (or spanner for the Brits) in the works.
