Yesterday at the rally Yesterday during the rally, as Manuel Rosales was speaking, this guy got up on top of this scaffolding right in front of the stage from which Rosales was speaking as seeing above. Everyone thought the guy was drunk and the fear was he woudl fall down. Some of the security people started climbing up the scaffolding trying to talk to the guy into clmbing down without any luck. After a while, Rosales noticed the guy was there and what was going on and asked him: "What do you want" shown the picture below the guy replied: "I just want to talk to you" Rosales said "Then come down and come over and talk to me" The guy simply started climbing down as shown below and the security people took him to the stage, where he simply spoke into the microphone, saying "This man is the next President of Venezuela" At that point, he gave Rosales a big hug (see below), which made the security people quite nervous and they just took him away. Could you imagine the autocrat even paying attention, or briging someone like that near him? (Thanks Alek for the pictures from his side!) 7:38:51 PM    comment []

Quote of the day! "All of it's Ph.D.'s have not harmed Venezuela as much as a single member of the military." Manuel Caballero in Elites and Elitism in today's El Universal Could not agree more! 7:25:36 PM    comment []
