Chavez saves Peru!

Well, actually, no he didn’t. According to Kate at A Columbo-Americana’s Perspective, Chavez promised 120 tons of aid to Peru’s earthquake victims and what they got was government surplus canned tuna with Chavez’ picture on the label. I guess he’s auditioning to be the new mermaid on the “Chicken of the Sea” label.

In other unrelated news, Confederate Yankee (with a hat tip to Fauta’s Blog) blows apart the ammo shortage problem. Seems AP got the story backwards – the war isn’t causing a shortage of ammunition, police demand has increased. D’oh!

From Pajama Media’s Richard Miniter, the research The New Republic should have done on Beauchamps before they published one word from him. (h/t Molten Thought)
