    So, There Were Paid Trolls After All...

    It's definitely not Herald print staff. It maybe Herald online staff, although I'd assume they would post in English rather than exclusively in Spanish. It could well be done other hidden entity within the Cristobal López media empire. Unfortunately, as the recent FBI and Brazilian police...

    Ministry Of Propaganda

    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    First-hand experience here.

    The Bsas Zoo

    I once took my wife to the Buenos Aires Zoo. On our way in we passed the Arctic exhibit where there sat a lonely polar bear on his haunches, perplexed and panting in the summer heat. It was the first time we both had seen a polar bear, "Wow, he's so tall!" my wife enthused, "He looks a little...

    Nightmare At Ezeiza

    I watched the lifting of the blockade live on TV. The gendarmes first formed a line with shields and walked from the centre of the highway towards the protesters with the aim of pushing them past the crash barrier. About three-quarters complied, the minority tried to push back, kicking out at...

    Nightmare At Ezeiza

    True that. Here's an easy to understand graphical representation of the Cresta Roja path to ruin. Seems to leave out Precios Cuidados though.
