Lost in the shuffle today was the news that the Penal Hall of the
Venezuelan Supreme Court decided against reconsidering the sentence
that freed the Puente El Llaguno gunmen. Even I have to agree with
prosecutor Danilo Anderson who complained that this leaves eight
metropolitan police members still in jail. Members of the Supreme
Court are accusing each other of manipulating the case. Can there be
worse news than this…

Of course there can be, famous burping General Acosta Carles who has
shown his disdain for the law and democracy was proclaimed today as
Carabobo Governor…poor Carabobo…poor Venezuela…and then…

There is the CNE Director Jorge Rodriguez who gave a most biased
statement tonight at the proclamation of Juan Barreto as Mayor of the
Metropolitan area. Rodriguez said: “The political panorama is now
clear, I had to be here, and it is my pleasure. It is you who support
democracy. This new democracy that has received so many aggressions.
This new democracy that has resisted all of the attacks that it has
been subjected to. A new democracy that expressed itself on August
15th. and October 31st. with elections that were absolutely
transparent”…yeah! yeah! yeah!
