21. Other good news



Is that Romario won a seat in the National Chamber of Deputies.

And Bebeto won a seat in the Rio state assembly.

Another fact that caught my attention was how smoothly the election and the vote count went overall. It only took a few hours for the 135 or so million votes to be tallied.

Btw, did you see any reference to Lucio Gutierrez of Ecuador being invited to be an "observer" of the elections? That was reported by his people on Thursday when it hit the fan in Quito.

:hi:

(For those unfamilar with Romario and Bebeto; stars of the Brazilian 1994 World Cup team.)
