BoRev's Quick and Dirty News Recap

Hey there loyal readers. We here at BoRev trust that you had a fantastic weekend, and that part of that weekend didn't include sorting through Venezuela-related news and sniffing out media bias and inaccuracies. It didn't for us, and we help keep this blog going. So now that Monday is upon us, let's quickly recap some of the bigger stories that you should all be talking about.

News Flash! Uribe is President: No, seriously. News coming out of the recent summit between Hugo Chavez and Alvaro Uribe is that Uribe -- who is Colombia's somewhat imperfectly elected president -- actually had to release a statement asking the ministers in his government not to seem so, you know, thirsty for Venezuelan blood. Referring specifically to Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos, the statement asked "complete prudence of all spokespersons of the Government" in handling relations with Venezuela. We don't know what's more sad -- that the man entrusted with Colombia's armed forces is chomping at the bit to send them across the border or that Uribe's control of his own government is weak enough that he has to resort to carefully worded statements to tell his ministers that an invasion wouldn't be kosher.
