CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Several dozen university students burned tires in protest as the U.S. ambassador visited eastern Venezuela Tuesday. No injuries or arrests were reported.

About 40 students from the University of the East tried to set up a barricade of burning tires in the city of Cumana outside the hotel where U.S. Ambassador William Brownfield was meeting with leaders in local business and non-governmental organizations.

State police quickly brought the situation under control, according to the U.S. Embassy in Caracas.

Yet the students protested for several hours against U.S. "imperialism," including Washington's efforts to set up a free-trade pact in the region.

4. Look at Mr. Brownpile.
Notice his forehead. It's completely covered in sweat. Look at his eyes, with that "deer in the headlight" look. Notice the arched eyebrows, the tight lips.

I'd say Mr. Browndump is worried.
