Lula in the White House?

I suspect an automatic news filter filed this report into the daily Latin American newsletter which I receive.

At first I couldn't believe that Brazil might actually be making a bid to take over Washington - and perhaps drive out Bush.

But it turns out to be more mundane than that: a Democrat is stepping aside from challenging another Democrat, Harold Brazil, for a seat on the city council.

It just goes to show that you can't rely on technology...
