Chavez vs. the UN

In his speech to the UN, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez called the UN "antidemocratic". It reminds me of the old adage "takes one to know one".

One other quick thought: What is the U.S. so afraid of letting Venezuela sit on the Security Council?? How about trying some dialogue instead of shutting people it doesn't like out of the conversation?

From Russell Roberts

"Again, I challenge the pessimists, the doom-and-gloomers who accept the wage data as indicating that for 30 years, the average American has made no progress. Either our economic system is broken or are data collection system is broken. There is dramatic evidence that the data collection system is unable to cope with the speed of change in the US economy. Why do you believe instead that it is the economic system that is broken? Where is your evidence?"
