An update from the wonderful (banana republic) of Ourgoodfriendistan...

Rivals in Mexico’s Congress have exchanged punches, just days before President-elect Felipe Calderon is due to be sworn in to office.

The scuffle occurred after left-wing deputies tried to take the podium to protest against Friday’s inauguration.

Deputies could be seen throwing punches and grabbing each other’s clothes, and at least one man ended up on the floor.

Members of the left-wing party, the PRD, say Mr Calderon won July’s presidential election by fraud.

Gosh, I can't wait till we merge with these clowns.
