#1 But Bush seems to be winning over supporters. A high-ranking Brazilian official, who said he was not authorized to give his name, told reporters 28 of the 34 countries participating in the summit had agreed to relaunch trade talks as early as April.

Looks like Bush is gaining more political momentum. Is this the week when Reid & Pelosi finally cook their engine blocks, or just more gaskets?

#2 Chavez has joked about whether Bush is afraid of him, saying he might sneak up and scare the U.S. president at the summit.

Hope he tries. Maybe Bush's Secret Service Detail won't get the joke and blow him away.
Ha-ha, Hugo...

#3 "....thousands of protesters" - from both CNN, MSNBC and FNC, barely looks like 500 let alone 1000. Methinks these protesters are yet another group of Lefties-Socialists-Commies-Anarchists whom demand Argentina be invaded and saved by Dubya. I can't think of any era in world military and political history where whole regions or many states demand to be attacked and invaded by their alleged, surreal ideo "enemy", in order to destroy said enemy!?

#4 watched the "riots" on Fox this afternoon - there were more cameramen and photographers surrounding and encouraging those few smashing windows and burning phone booths....pathetic. Reporters and photogs become agitators. Expect to see some capped when the violence turns nasty - they deserve it
