Morales not improving any
Fresh from a very uncastroite democratic electoral victory, something castro could never accomplish, Morales has announced that his first visit will be to hug beastly Cuban dictator fidel castro.
Morales had 124 nations to choose from and castro was chosen to be his Number One. Sounds like Morales is rewarding his campaign contributors.
The wretched story is here.
UPDATE: Morales has decided to turn his presidential inauguration into a foreign Sandalista-fest. Oh man, the garbage! The stench! What a repulsive guy:
Morales wants inauguration to be gathering of social activists
La Paz, Dec 28 (EFE).- Bolivia's President-elect, leftist Evo Morales, wants to make his inauguration an "international gathering" of grassroots organizations, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Alex Contreras said groups already receiving invitations include Brazil's MST Landless Movement, the Argentine jobless activists known as "piqueteros," Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's Bolivarian Circles, the Zapatistas of Mexico and the two largest entities representing Indians in neighboring Ecuador.
Morales also hopes to see at his Jan. 22 swearing-in three Nobel Peace Prize winners - South Africa's Nelson Mandela, Argentine Adolfo Perez Esquivel and Guatemala's Rigoberta Menchu - as well as Nobel literature laureates Gabriel Garcia Marquez of Colombia and Jose Saramago of Portugal.
Alongside the usual lineup of presidents, Cuban musician Silvio Rodriguez, Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano and Argentine soccer icon Diego Maradona, who has already confirmed his attendance, according to Contreras, will be in the stands.
"Our idea is for this inauguration to be a meeting of the world's social-action movements," Contreras said.
Contreras added that though many guests have "busy schedules," he is confident most will attend "this event, which is going to be historic." Morales won his country's Dec. 18 presidential election with just under 54 percent of the votes, the most comfortable victory achieved by a candidate in Bolivia's modern history.
He will also be the first Indian president in a nation where indigenous people make up roughly 60 percent of the population of 9 million. EFE rac/mp

I personally like it when people show their true colors- it's good to know where they stand.

Maybe it's time for the Bolivian version of the "Mr. Ed" TV show - "Mr. Evo" - because, after all -
"a horse's ass is a horse's ass,
of course, of course..."
