Oly's here.
For the two J-schoolers, I need only say those two words. For my other two readers, just know Oly equals a much-needed breath of fresh air.
We had yet another patented Oly off-the-record conversation last night, tossing back 10 vodka martinis between the two of us (so much for no alcohol the rest of the week.)
Right now he's holed up at the Hilton Caracas, grading undergrad papers. I told him if he needs to go anywhere to give me a call first. This is a dangerous city, and a faculty member has no business exploring a strange, unfamiliar place without the guidance of an experienced, professional grad student.
Hey, at least he made it here. The faculty member who was supposed to visit our man Paulo in Brazil flew all the way down there...didn't bother to check if he needed visa first, spent a day in the airport unsuccessfully trying to fight his way into the country, and then had to promptly fly all the way back to Chicago. Whoops.

Hey! Dude, what the fuck! Not two days after Telesur's launch, and is that Chavez sitting in the same studio, talking to the same hot anchor I interviewed on Monday? That socialist bastard's moving in on my territory!
What happened to share the wealth, senior presidente?
Leader of an emerging pan-Latin American economic bloc and outspoken critic of U.S. imperialismo who also happens to write your paycheck, or a broke unemployed grad-student with no prospects: Which would you pick?

In other news, I'm all signed up: I get to attend an uber-special-access press conference tomorrow with White Sox Libertador Ozzie Guillen, on his triumphant return to the Motherland. It's like Christmas - I don't know what to ask him. I'm gonna be like Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney on SNL.
Me: You.. you.. you remember when you were with The White Sox?
Ozzie: Yeah, sure.
Me: That was awesome!
Anyways, if you have anything you wanna ask Ozzie, now's your chance.
