My point is that even our humble little game can predict the future sometimes.

Nuts....

Sorry about that. I hadn't thought that they would archive it so rapidly.

Most of the good reports are actually coming out of Mexico herself and a really god site runs translations of the news stories:

And here is an interactive map tracing the violence in Mexico:

Since I read, write, and speak spanish, I prefer to read the news directly form the countries involved, because as it has been said many times, things get lost in translation.

Another excellent article with pictures this time. LARGE pictures, and in English for those of us language challenged...(that was a joke by the way okay kids?)

WARNING: graphic pictures are on that page.
