The South Leans to the Left!

Yesterday, amid a lot of fanfare, a tiny country nestled just South of Brazil and East of Argentina, called Uruguay, inaugurated the first far left wing president in the history of their government! Hooray for Uruguayans everywhere! First Brazil with Lula, and now Uruguay with Tabaré Vasquez! At least our South American cousins know what Democracy truly is. They elected leaders who truly represent their people, and not some stupid puppet of a Monkey who is bought and sold by the big oil companies and the closeted homo Nazis of the Religious Right.

Who said South Americans can't get anything right? It's amazing to watch how they move their continent to the far left, and somehow seem to be navigating the tempestuous waves of globalization without as much struggle as we seem to be here in the good ol' U.S. of A.

Maybe we should take a hint from our cousins to the South?
