The papal visit Carnival of Latin America and the Caribbean

The question right now is, after getting the finger, how will Francis react to the deliberate insult to Pope Francis and to Catholics in the US?

Puerto Rico Utility Fails to Extend Contract With Insurers

The Electric Power Authority’s failure to extend the forbearance agreement with the insurers marks a setback for the utility, which earlier this month struck a tentative deal with some of its bondholders to reduce its debt load. Insurers that guarantee $2.5 billion of the utility’s debt balked at extending the talks. The forbearance keeps negotiations outside of court.

    Re: Danny Glover

    Glover was a friend of Chavez. There were reports Chavez gave Danny Glover over $30 million to produce a film about the history of slave revolt in Haiti which took place in the 1790s/early 1800s. Glover never produced it. I wonder if Glover really received the money.
