    Argentina: A Textbook Case Of Government Gone Mad

    HAha - I am glad I got the response from you that I was looking for. It is OK to stereotype Italians as "corrupt" but not Jews or Blacks? How about Irish and Chinese. You answered my exact point. Been literate long?

    Argentina: A Textbook Case Of Government Gone Mad

    I am not quite sure Italians have a lock on corruption. Chicago with a Jew Mayor and black city council in charge seem to do well at corruption. DC with its meltng pot of white shoe lawyers, senators, bankers, lobbyists, all of whom own the city are traditionally WASPs and Irish. Are they...

    Kicillof Has A Bad Day - And He Deserves It!

    I don't get your point. Seems to me the cut cut cut in Greece, disaster in Spain, overall economic crisis in Europe is caused by centralization by Euro bureaucrats working with bankers to consolidate power and money respectively. Looks like some kind of -ism to me - pick your poison. What we...

    Us Consulate Exchange Rate?

    They absolutely do not do business at blue rate. Silly assumption to say the least. But on the contrary, pensioners receiving money from abroad are not getting official rate from local government on the money being sent in bound. Direct from my recent receipts: Oct 29 they gave me 4.80 = 1...

    Tuesday 20Th. Paro General/ Stay Home?

    Interesting and time-tested. It's not like the cynical political policies are new ideas. As an astute oberserver of nature wrote, "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Seems we have reached this point across the world with...

    Beef/veal Cheeks?

    I've asked our butcher for authentic veal from calf but he too tells me there is no authentic veal product sold in Argentina. From what I understand they do not butcher young calf here anymore. I think you'll find even when a restaurant shows veal on its menu it is not authentic veal. It is...
