1. So good to see them meeting again, wasn't it? It was good for Sean Penn to point out, this weekend,

again, the tremendous help Venezuela has provided to emergency work in Haiti. That never is acknowledged here, not by a long shot.

It was great seeing the video clip. Thanks for posting it. Hope Sean Penn will continue to grow, inwardly. He's well on his way now.

On edit, glad to see another outstanding person, Mark Weisbrot, as well.

2. I had to laugh at myself because I like Weisbrot's commentary so much

I subconsciously gave him top billing in my thread title.
