Americans & others killed in Mexican drug wars: (Los Angeles Times)
Tourism to Mexico is getting deadlier by the day.
Whether targeted or accidentally killed in random drive-by shootings, it just doesn't matter... either way you are still DEAD !
The killings and kidnappings along the Mexico/US border in towns like Juarez and Tijuana... and even tourist hotspots like Acapulco... have soared out of control.
There is flagrant illicit drug smuggling, payoffs for corrupt police, and violent gang activity in Mexico but especially along the border... all are good reasons to slam the border areas shut and, as Americans, to boycott any tourist travel to Mexico until they seriously crack down on and stop the drug-backed assaults on our citizens.
If we stop dumping tourist dollars into Mexico, the resorts will apply enough pressure on Mexican administrations (corrupt or not) to smother the drug rings and gangs.
But... until we stop spending American money there... the attacks and murders will continue to increase in violence and number.

Democrat Healthcare Bill shenanigans continue: (The Hill)
'Whatever it takes'...
no matter how much the US citizenry is against the Healthcare Bill in it's current form.
This seems to be the motto and arrogant attitude of the Democrats as they coerce, strongarm, bribe, connive, promise and cut backroom deals in order to pile up enough votes to vote this "reform" monstrosity into law.
This will certainly bankrupt our economy, ruin the free-capitol system now in place, and put thousands more insurance and medical personnel out of work.
We need to demand everything be made apparent, clear and open when discussing healthcare... and send them all back in to do a total rewrite of this so-called reform bill.
Quit the dirty, under-the-table dealings to buy more votes and false support !
And, oh by the way... why don't you knock off a couple thousand pages from this bill... then maybe constituants can understand the way it is supposedly going to work !

Venezuela's Chavez is Upset with Media Internet: (Reuters)
Oh No !
Venezuela President-For-Life Chavez is upset and wants the internet restricted and squeezed under his control because people are saying nasty things about him.
And his best 'little buddy'... Sean "The Great" Penn... is supporting his pal Hugo every step of the dictatorial way.
Hey, let's pretend we're playing a card game and... start calling a spade a spade!
If you look, sound, act and quack like a cruel & total dictator... then, hell yes... you must be a cruel & total dictator !
So, Sean and Hugo, just embrace your self-given greatness and... quit whining about it already.
