Every socialist on the planet is now going to point, laugh and chime in. I doubt they will endorse McCain.

The conservatives who are pointing and crying don't endorse McCain either.

Ortega will understand what's happening when the big ball of poop rolls downhill and suddenly Nicaragua gets even more poorified.

Backing military juntas to help 1st world interest loot Latin American countries might have some consequences but this is just a matter of us getting sick on our own bad medicine. No smiting and no karma needed.

Things going pretty well down there in Nicaragua then?

 
iodine 2008-10-10 08:18:46 PM  
I guess America just got told! According to the CIA,

"Nicaragua has widespread underemployment, one of the highest degrees of income inequality in the world, and the third lowest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere. While the country has progressed toward macroeconomic stability in the past few years, annual GDP growth has been far too low to meet the country's needs, forcing the country to rely on international economic assistance to meet fiscal and debt financing obligations."

 
Kanemano 2008-10-10 08:19:19 PM  
Ortega??? Wasn't he a democratically elected leader that the US tried to oust from power using a proxy army?

Someone should tell him that we make house calls these days

Mouser: Didn't we overthrow this fool once?

No. We just financed terrorists to attack his government, and ended up bankrupting it with all the fighting; he ultimately lost the 1990 election largely for economic reasons (and the fact the US said they'd stop funding the terrorists if Ortega was voted out of office). He would later come back and win the 2006 election.

This financial crisis probably does seem like karmic retribution to all the countries who were touched by Reagan's policies in the 1980s.

Unfortunately we're all farked, on every continent.

A review in my local paper criticized the only authentic local taco shop for only soft tacos, because "tacos are meant to be crispy".

US Americans need maps I guess.

Nicaragua's only contributions to the world are cigars made with tobacco from Cuban seeds and the forestry for the Ewok stronghold in return of the Jedi.

Nothing to do with Ewoks could possibly count as a "contribution".
