Subject: Ecuador update 

CONGRESS HAS JUST VOTED LUCIO OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY. 
THE ARMED FORCES HAVE RETRACTED THEIR SUPPORT.  LUCIO
GAVE UP THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE AT 1:50PM AND LEFT FOR
CHILE.  THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SWORN IN AS THE
TEMPORARY PRESIDENT!
 
A lot can happen in 2 hours in a Latin American
country!

(and the whole time i was standing in the rain waiting
for a bus)
