    Best Mexican Resturant In Ba?

    No offence to the hot sauce stuffers, but when you open the Rooney suitcase after a border run all you will find are wall-to-wall corn tortillas. I can make my own hot sauce with ingredients here TYVM; refritos, no problemo; hell i can even make my own al pastor. But what i cant find are decent...

    Gov't Shutters Telecommunications Boards, Polemic Ensues

    That has to be the most childish argument I've ever heard. (Most) everyone here agrees CFK was an awful president. Now you want to use her as a model for how the current government should break the law as well?

    Gov't Shutters Telecommunications Boards, Polemic Ensues

    So if he's guilty as you have determined, surely you would want him to be tried and removed from office following due legal process. Or is it better to just skip all those tedious constitutional formalities like "laws" and "separation of powers" and just remove him by decree? OAS: AFSCA move...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    Wait you're saying that the owner of a private business ordered a government raid on the government office that is in charge of regulating his company? And you think that would be a good thing?

    Macri's Challenge

    One of the huge factors in the antiquated rental laws that no one seems to talk about is their effect on inflation. If everyone-- especially vendors, stores, etc.-- has rental contracts with 25%+ scheduled annual increases, it's pretty bleeding hard to get inflation down below 25%. If you are a...

    Gov't Shutters Telecommunications Boards, Polemic Ensues

    Not a bad idea. Maybe if i barricade myself here in the office and start a twitter campaign I'll be spared the annual Matambre and Rusa torture. #VitalTonyDictadura

    The "hey go pick up the ephedrine" one sounds like a script reject from a bad 21 Jump Street episode. "Hello I'd like to buy some Mar-ee-wanna please."

    Or better yet-- upload them to Wikileaks, since most of Wikileaks reports are not pure unculled data dumps. Just taking a quick look through these I need some context.

    No wonder her administration was a mess-- all her emails are microsmall and illegible.

    Democrats Abroad In Argentina For Bernie Sanders

    Obama never proposed the public option to congress. He himself took it off the table before anyone had a chance to debate it (except for the insurance lobby-- ka ching).

    Gov't Shutters Telecommunications Boards, Polemic Ensues

    The Ministry of Telecommunications is only merging the two boards (AFSCA + AFTIC) together because Macri's 1st act as President was to issue a Decree of Necessity and Emergency (DNU) moving the previously independent boards to the control of the Minister of Telecommunications. The idea is to...

    Gov't Shutters Telecommunications Boards, Polemic Ensues

    http://www.ambito.com/noticia.asp?id=821011 These are two boards that are in charge of ensuring media groups comply with the law, most notably (and polemically) the Ley de Medios, which aimed at busting up media monopolies (such as Grupo Clarín). Given how the media plays a huge role forming...

    Nightmare At Ezeiza

    1. Cresta Roja is a shining example of how the Ks, despite posing as "populists" or "socialists", were really crass corporate tools. The owners make out just fine TYVM while the employees and subsequently the Argentine public foot the bill. 2. The way this strike was attacked was utterly...
