the republicans have won the popular vote ONCE since 1988, and even then only by the same narrow margin that Obama won by this time when he, apparently, "doesn't have a mandate". Odd, I don't remember all these "has no mandate" arguments on fox news in 2000 when Bush didn't even win the popular...

I wouldn't get out of bed for 23 pesos an hour. You should be looking at 40 absolute minimum. "we'll give you lots of hours though" simply means, "we'll have you on slave wages for even longer" - it's actually more insulting. "We won't take advantage of you for 15 hours a week, we'll try and...

CFK is a shoo-in next year: sending military ships to Ghana to moor there for a few years, sacking various senior military leaders and of course, nobody has dollars anymore to buy arms on the international market. Genius!

like the captain of the Titanic saying "we have a spot of damp in cargo hold 4".

Nobody here is answering the important question: will she be handing out socks?

another brit, never really had any hassle re: malvinas. I would push for wages to be paid: a. in dollars/euros b. into home bank account one or other. As someone else said, 18,000 pesos will be 40-50% less thanks to inflation by the time two years is up. Inflation is currently c.25%. Who...

Most elections in most countries are all about 15/20% of the electorate. 40% will always vote for CFK and her ilk, 40% for her mirror image. Maybe at the election that 54-46 will become 49-51 and we'll all go round the merry-go-round again. Don't expect any great differences. Argentina has shown...

I would love it if the argentine people realised it is they who control the government, not the other way round. CK: "you can't have dollars" We, the people: erm, you're there because of us. You're our representative. Nada mas! It's us who tells you what you can and can't do with dollars, those...

had it on for few hours in background....not one single on-the-street interview? Bizarre. why is that - is it illegal or something to go and ask a few pot bangers, "so, what brought you out tonight?", "do you have a message for the president?" nada.

if that's what the sum total of the Mayan calendar apocalypse was all about, I'll take it. :)

The new passport design has been leaked: it's a poodle rampant, crapping on a pavement, all under the new country motto, "Clarin Mienta".

...but not here! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19518307

is it confirmed that she's going to try to go beyond 2015? I can't wait to hear her justify that one....

really? could we?

If someone here used their Argie CC to buy an airline ticket online, from BA, United, etc...would that also be subject to the surcharge?

If Bill Hicks was still around, he'd say "Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's Facebook. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is Facebook."

I heard Argentine socks are all the rage in Angola.

seems like a rise in the fine is overdue...hasn't it been 300 for 18 months or so? I expect a hike to 500 before too long :(

I agree. I wasn't sure about the cost of wiring it (or even if it had to be done black market style, which it sounds as if it does) but 6/7% is acceptable.

yep, shopping trolley are a lot of people's weak spots. Twice in Coto, I've told older women (off smelling strawberries or whatever) that leaving their handbags in the kiddy seat of their trolley isn't smart. Got thanked both times. as you say, it's impossible to keep a high guard ALL the...
