Chavez, who rejects traditional U.S. influence in Latin America and has called the U.S. president 'the devil,' denied OPEC-member Venezuela represented a danger to Washington.
"Whoever the next president is and whatever party they are from, we aspire, we are anxious, that 2009 start with a new level of relations," Chavez said from an oilfield close to the Orinoco River.
With concrete evidence of his "relations" to FARC, the only improved ties the United States should establish is adding Venezuela to the list of countries that sponsor terrorism.More on what the FARC computers contained can be found here.

The couple was caught up in a sweeping municipal drive to instill order in India's chaotic capital by shutting down and demolishing illegally built structures that have sprung up like mushrooms across the sprawling city of 14 million.
City employees mistook the residence of Madhusudan Wadhwa, 76, and his wife for a commercial business in violation of local zoning laws when they locked their gate Monday, officials said.
They didn't even know they were locked in until the son came to visit and saw the municipal seal. Maybe India should take care of their own business before trying to give advice to Americans.Just sayin'

Because we're supposed to fight wars without letting soldiers get hurt I guess. As a disabled veteran (non-combat related), it's blindingly obvious to me that soldiers are going to get injured, especially when we're at war. The more injured you have, the more it costs to take care of them. Most of us accept that as the cost of preventing civilian casualties here at home, that's why we were in the military in the first place.
Worse wounds. More disabilities. More vets aware of the benefits and quicker to file for them.
Also, ironically, advanced medical care. Troops come home with devastating injuries that might well have killed them in earlier wars.

The article is over at Engadget, and the author thinks it's ugly. Most of the comments disagree and so do I. It looks just fine from here. I like the Nintendo simulation and the SD card slot, but why on Earth does it have a camera? They could have saved a lot of size by eliminating that.

"People walk past and say, 'I'm glad you're doing something,' " said Marty O'Malley, a Forest Hills council member who has attended more than 100 anti-Iraq war events, as he stood in front of Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle's Downtown office last week with the small gathering of activists.
"I want to shake them and say, 'Why aren't you doing something!?' "
Right back atcha Marty. There were only three of you and nobody remembered to bring the petition? FAIL!That should tell him that the war is going very well thank you. If it wasn't, the media wouldn't let 30 seconds go by without saying something about it.

Two leading clerics retorted that Ahmadinejad would be better off concentrating on Iran's social problems -- most notably its double-digit inflation -- than indulging in such mystical rhetoric.
"If Ahmadinejad wants to say that the hidden imam is supporting the decisions of the government, it is not true," sniped Gholam Reza Mesbahi Moghadam, the spokesman of the conservative Association of Combatant Clerics.
"For sure, the hidden imam does not approve of inflation of 20 percent, the high cost of living and numerous other errors," he said, according to the Kargozaran daily.
Ali Asghari, a member of the conservative Hezbollah faction in parliament, told the president not to link the management of the country to the imam.
"Ahmadinejad would do better to worry about social problems like inflation ... and other terrestrial affairs," Etemad Melli daily quoted him as saying.
