POPSWhere is the Abraço? Brazil is a "huggy" society, and the US is a "keep your distance" society, which makes this picture very interesting. Here it is the American who looks far more at ease with the hug. The expression on Lula's face is one I have seen on many Americans' faces as they are unexpectedly hugged by a Brazilian. So what gives? I really think Lula did not expect to be (and did not want to be) in the position of being Bush's favorite Latin president. He has Hugo Chavez and Co. to thank for Bush's affections.

POPSEverything Ends in Samba--Even George W Bush This is awesome! Not all was protests and grownups acting like spoiled children. Bush's Brazil trip had it's moments that truly characterize Brazil. Too bad they didn't get too much press. Be sure to check out Condi at the end. She's obviously done this before!

POPSBush Praises Brazil in Haiti Very well-put observation on the part of the President. Somewhat sly, considering all the criticism Bush gets here because of Iraq.

POPSPalestine? Nope, Brazil. This illustrates the true colors of those here who are protesting Bush's visit.

POPSLula at Camp David Lula will be the first Latin American president to be received at Camp David since 1991. Cool! I like to see Lula and Bush getting "tight". It must make Chavez gnash his teeth--something else that makes me happy.

POPSBush Comes Closer to the Truth Finally, no more "War on Terror"--which makes about as much sense as calling WWII a "War on Surprise Attacks". (I wish I could take credit for that, but I read it somewhere, I don't remember where)

POPSVenezuela Can, Bush Can't This chick from Australia hits dizzying new hights of twisted logic by trying to defend Hugo Chavez' right to shut down media outlets in Venezuela that disagree with him, while at the same time condemning Bush for even BEING ADVISED to consider prosecution of the New York Times for serious security infringements. Read only if you want your brain twisted in knots.

POPSBush and Lula Have Friendly Chat With radical dictators like Chavez and Morales taking over the left in Latin America, Lula is begining to look and sound a lot more conservative. Now this!

POPSPresidential Comedy Way funnier than whatshisface from Comedy Central who came on afterward. Why is it that conservatives have no problem poking fun at themselves, while liberals can usually only poke fun at conservatives.
