I don't know how much longer this can go on before the military will be forced to step in.

No one with the exeption of CNN en Español and some other Latin American sources know this. I just informed Drudge and he posted it minutes after it happened.

This is heartbreaking.

Well, if they can appoint some other sucker within the next 30 hours or so then they can say that 2001 was the year of four presidents!

But the real question is, who will represent them in the World Cup next year? Lack of success in futbol will lead to more chaos than no president.

One would imagine that with all the downstream troubles the last military guys had, this time there will be no takeover unless they get ironclad guarantees.

This will continue a few days more until the mob gets a shot at burning out some of the wealthier fascists and power brokers who got the country into this trouble.

ANOTHER INTERESTING STORY FROM OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -

U.S. and Colombian authorities on Sunday found $41 million in bogus U.S. dollars inside a house in Bogota - the largest seizure of counterfeit dollars in Colombia, police said. The commander of the Colombian national police, Gen. Ernesto Gilibert, described the discovery to reporters as an "overwhelming blow" to the counterfeiting industry. Colombia is the world's top producer of phony dollars, responsible for nearly half of the false notes in circulation, authorities said.

U.S. Secret Service agents and Colombian police discovered the fake money packed in boxes in a middle-class neighborhood in the capital, Bogota, said National Police spokeswoman Ligia Escalante.

Police said at least one of the boxes was destined for Ecuador, which now uses the U.S. currency as its own. No one was captured in the raid.

U.S. and Colombian authorities have seized $65 million in false dollars this year in Colombia, Escalante said. Last year, authorities in Colombia found a dollars counterfeiting factory that they believe could have produced more than $1 billion before it was dismantled.

If we didn't like Argentina, I'd advocate sending Hillary "Evita" Rodham Clinton to serve as the next president. The country has suffered enough with IMF meddling...and only France deserves the Clintons.

One choice left: dollarize or die. There is no alternative. Args have been through the mill. Follow Ecuador.
