Good news! Joshua Frens-String is back from his summer break and the return post at his blog, Hemispheric Brief, provides a great roundup of news and views on the Venezuelan legislative elections which happen September 26th. I'd excerpt a bit of JFS's prose here but it's tough to take any part out of the full context without losing the benefits of reading the whole piece. So go read the whole piece linked right here as it's today's required reading on LatAm.
And now it's back, put Hemispheric Brief on your RSS, your bookmarks or your whatever. A great and concise way of getting an EngLang, no-spin, no-BS view of what's happening in this neck of the woods.
