What a weekend it was in the Western Hemisphere. Not only is the United States firmly in the grip of election fever and a faltering economy, elsewhere around the region crises are being resolved, deals negotiated, bribes paid, political figures brought down by their own greed, and rampant European sex tourism...

- Iran, Russia, China and Venezuela create their “own financial system”?
- Brazil forced to stop trading as stock market plummets.
- Talks aimed at resolving crisis in Bolivia going nowhere for the moment.

- Latin America, prime destination for pedophiles?
- Chavez, the environmentalist.
- Calderon proposes decriminalization of certain drugs in Mexico. Could it help ease the violence?
