Don't Cry for me, Venezuela

       Well, what is going on down south these days?  Any signs of improvements?  No.  US Senator Lindsey Graham wrote a piece published last week that called for the US to do something about the situation in Venezuela.  He suggested a strong military move that could render the Maduro government useless and force regime change.  In so many words, the Old Coot called for armed intervention.  Has this pathetic has-been ever fired a weapon in anger?  Has he ever led troops in the field?  Has he ever experienced the results of foreign policy gone awry?  It's embarrassing enough to have a Draft Dodger in the Oval Office, but we don't need another fake politician in the Senate calling for military action.   This is shameful, and the idiot from North Carolina should pack up and go home, back to the land of grits and tobacco, where Duke and NC play hoops for the locals, giving them the appearance of modernity in a tidewater state bound to the Old South.
     But, I digress.  The US. Dept of Justice is about ready to slam Venezuela with some charges relating to a financial conspiracy that involves stealing money from a food program designed to alleviate the starvation going on in the country caused by Maduro's policies.  The case involves quite a few disparate players.  One individual is a notorious Colombian businessman with ties to maduro's military supporters.
