There are a couple of blog posts fermenting around here (including another craptavaganza movie review from Baltar) but real life grading is calling. I was looking around for some links to keep y'all busy in the mean time, and decided instead to give you just one: Beautiful Horizons. Start at the top and scroll all the way down. Even with some computer problems, Randy Paul has put up several really nice posts over the last couple of weeks.
For some time I have thought that Randy has one of the best Latin America oriented sites out there (he's on our eventual-update-the-blogroll-list), and I always appeciate his insight into culture and politics of the region. I also appreciate that he is not one of those "oba! oba!" Brazilianists (or as one I met said, "não sou de oba oba não") who are so infatuated with the country that they cannot see. Love is blind(ing) and all that. He loves Brazil and Latin America, but doesn't let it obscure his vision of the problems and issues facing the region.
Specific recommendations? A post on human rights and travel restrictions in Cuba and the US (which seems to be missing a permalink, but it's October 20), an analysis - with good links - of the Left schism in Brazil, and whether or not the scandal facing Brazil's president is really the worst ever.
