Dane Vallejo: Opinion: Obama the floater, destined to sink.
http://danevallejo.blogspot.com/2011/06/obama-floater-destined-to-sink.html
Friday, 10 June 2011. Opinion: Obama the floater, destined to sink. I make no secret of it; I've always had a slight disliking for Barack Obama. At first, I think it's fair to say that my dislike for him was. I think perhaps it’s that characteristic flakiness - his sheer irresolution - that has really ground my gears over yesterday’s. If you’ve not heard, and can’t be bothered to sift through the OAS document, President Obama has used his “considerable” political judgement to side...Disregarding the rela...

http://danevallejo.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 April 2011. Opinion: Confronting Hugo Chávez. Just over two months ago, I wrote a piece that I called,. 8216;The Dictator Club’. In it, I slammed Hugo Chávez for his utterly deplorable support for Muammar Gaddafi during, what was then, the embryonic stages of what has since become one of the most widely discussed human rights violations of this century. Hugo Chávez is an infamous demagogue. His 21. At times, Western commentary gets its kicks out of poking fun at the spectacle that is Hugo C...

Dane Vallejo: The Putin-ator - Did you ever doubt 'he'd be back'?
http://danevallejo.blogspot.com/2011/09/putin-ator-did-you-ever-doubt-hed-be.html
Monday, 26 September 2011. The Putin-ator - Did you ever doubt 'he'd be back'? It's been a while. In fact, it's fair to say that if this blog were a residence, the garden would be overgrown, there'd be countless bottles of milk by the front door and the social services would have dropped by to make sure someone hadn't passed away. But I've returned to put some word down, nevertheless. Did you ever doubt that 'he'd be back'? Putin and Medvedev alike have claimed that decisions were made some years ago reg...

Dane Vallejo: When did "bad" become good? Britain and it's degenerate youth.
http://danevallejo.blogspot.com/2011/08/when-did-bad-become-good-britain-and.html
Wednesday, 10 August 2011. When did "bad" become good? Britain and it's degenerate youth. Britain today is infested with a youth culture that, by the majority’s standards, is politically detached and socially alien. It may be too soon to conduct a full post-mortem of the riots and of the fate of the youths who are responsible, but making observations on the general demise of their social health is all too possible. Slashed budget as a cause for distaste. Some have even gone as far. In comparison to the y...

http://danevallejo.blogspot.com/2011/06/time-to-call-chavezs-oil-bluff.html
Wednesday, 1 June 2011. Opinion: Time to call Chávez's oil bluff? Washington has for some time been constricted in taking a tough stance against Venezuela’s Chávez by the threat it perceives to its security of oil supply. But what if that threat was little more than a bluff? For many interested parties, upon hearing of the fresh consignment of US sanctions. And, will the sanctions hit PdVSA hard? The short answer to both questions is a round-about no. Short of revenue-sapping, politically-charged, region...
