My previous post seems to have disappeared so I will give it another try.
Venezuela has been a concern for some time. Particularly when we consider the oil supplies they have, and the fact that they are dealing with China for those supplies, and seem intent on us not getting to buy any of it.
But as for the title of the article: It makes it sound like the place has been overrun by plumbers working on sink traps!

"Last week, unknown assailants planted a bomb outside the offices of the independent newspaper Asi es la Noticia, which damaged the building without causing injuries. The newspaper had the previous day published details of a video showing members of the Venezuelan Air Force with a Colombian rebel group."
I'm curious about that detail. Is Chavez supporting the rebels with Venezuelan troops? Did these troops defect? Were they captured?

(the US population in the year 2100 will exceed a billion, perhaps even three billion.)
