Parabéns a Brasil!

The 2016 Olympics will be held in sexy and vibrant Rio de Janeiro, beating out racist Madrid, odd Tokyo, and crime riddled Chicago!  Highly regarded President, Lula da Silva and soccer legend Pele, will team up to promote the games.

Get the details here, and once again--Parabéns! (that means congratulations)

Move over Obama!

Brazil's Lula da Silva is the world's most popular politician, according to Newsweek.

Enjoying a 70 percent approval rating, Lula is quite bashful about his success.  Since he won't brag, I'll do it for him. Lula rocks. Brazil is the only country not sinking because of the global recession, and is actually experiencing growth.  He's been able to up the minimum wage, and extend education, health care, and other social benefits without sinking the economy because he has done so pragmatically and logically rather than to please the people or advance his career.  Last point, land redistribution for indigenous peoples and affirmative action round out Lula's awesomeness.

Bravo Lula!
