South American Union created...

Thanks to Idiot Savant over at No Right Turn for highlighting the signing of a treaty creating a new South American Union along the lines of the European Union.

This is probably the biggest news story of the week globally as it may mark the birth of a new superpower over the longer term. This story should have been front page news.

I almost missed it, distracted by the trivial nonsense about a Housing NZ conference that was front page news in the Herald instead of things that really matter.
