We don’t delve into politics very often around here and when we do I like to think we delve with an open mind. This is a great story no matter what though:
Mayans to ‘cleanse’ Bush site.
For our foreign readers you should know we’ve got this guy over here named Prez. Bush. He is visiting Guatemala (which means “bad female Guat”) this week and evidently the Mayans aren’t too thrilled. He’s visiting Iximche which of course was the main city of the Kaqchikel Maya people. If you didn’t know that already I can’t help you. C’mon man, read a book. Anyhow:
Mayan priests say they will purify the sacred archaeological site to rid it of any “bad spirits” after Bush is there.
Nice! When our Prez visited Columbia:
About 300 to 350 demonstrators threw rocks and charged a line of about 200 police clad in riot gear. The demonstrators ripped up metal barricades, smashed concrete barriers and used the resulting fragments as projectiles.
Well that’s just innovative. I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.
The protesters smashed the windows of financial institutions as they retreated.
Screw high interest rates! The Prez. Central/South American Tour: It’s Faaaaantastic!
