And since Twitter users aren't exactly known for filtering their thoughts, the few things they think twice about should be interesting. (See the top 10 celebrity Twitter feeds...
...problem is twofold. First, it's hard to predict the future. Second, it's really hard to predict the future when so many parts of the economy are in flux. "This has been an extraordinarily difficult period for forecasters," says Harvard economist James Stock. "Our models aren't really designed for predicting massive changes."

Likewise, Chávez needs to realize that his calls for Micheletti's regime to respect the democratic process in Honduras have thrown a brighter spotlight on the democratic process in Venezuela - and that Clinton's remarks, however "disrespectful," might be sound advice for any government...
