Oh, I forgot, Nelson Castro is also a columnist for La Nación & Perfil and since leaving Radio del Plata he has released a new best selling book and a second edition of another bestseller which has an expanded section about the Kirchners in it, he is also frequently interviewed on other shows...

No, but I would advise you to be on the look out for rubber penises.

Nobody likes you newbie, not even the crooks. Do you by any chance bear a passing resemblance to Charles Manson? Just curious.

Mr De Narvaez had one here, there was an amusing watch blog that followed it reporting on the more ridiculous inventions (I was stabbed with a rubber penis!) - it was probably more accurate as a spatial map of internet connections in the city. It wouldn't surprise me if Palermo had some of...

Then please give us the story as you see it, make your argument. Show us the information you have and the course of events that has led you to this opinion.

Well, they are challenging it in court as far as I know. I can already hear the reactions of most here: If they find in favour of the government it will be the evil K's manipulating the courts, if they find in favour of the Clarin group it will be proof of the attempted attack on freedom of...

Again, the same adjective could be applied to Nelson, I'm fairly sure he would qualify under the DSM-IV definition. Really, that old chestnut? I remember that coming up here several times before, that was you also wasn't it Sarah dear? Nelson Castro's contract wasn't renewed at Radio del Plata...

Utterly delusional.

Sounds like a good start, but I really have no idea - do we have any examples from other parts of the world by which we could apply some kind of template? I do know that mindlessly attacking this government out of spite without any perspective or any attempt to arrive at an informed opinion...

You could quite easily remove the word political from that statement too. I recall another comment on these forums some time ago when someone wondered aghast why Argentines always vote in corrupt thieves. Well, without wishing to be brutal, where do you think Argentine politicians come from...

I agree, Argentina deserves better - but when you have an ingrained political culture like the one here I think it can only happen in steps, I consider their administration to have been one step. I'd love to see someone emerge who could take a larger step - maybe we should get an expat group...

This seems to be the inclination of many. Why come here and compare this administration with your country of origin - this isn't Australia in terms of governance by any means and never has been. Nor will it become Australia in one election, this will be a long slow process if it ever happens -...

This is the level of debate I'm talking about. I consider every administration since the restoration of democracy here to have been worse than the K's. What do you know about what went on in this country during the times of Alfonsin, Menem, De la Rua? I recall pointing out just a few of the most...

De Narvaez? Do you know how he got the money in the first place? Or how his declared wealth grew more than 900% from 2004 to 2008? We don't know, when he was asked this on his own television station he just shrugged it off and the journalist who asked him was promptly sacked. The K's will have...

Why would he be surprised? I'm sure he knows of the recent polls. I would vote for their candidate too, I would also drop them like a sack of spuds if a better alternative was presented to me. Would anyone like to name who they consider to be a superior alternative?

Pericles is one of the few people on this forum prepared to look at this government with a little dispassionate perspective and see some shades of grey and I congratulate him for it. Of course this is far too complicated for the hordes here who contribute nothing to the debate by parroting the...

I don't see it being tackled any time soon, it would be far more divisive than gay marriage. Chile is worse with possibly the most draconian abortion legislation in the world and Bachelet didn't touch it to my knowledge.

I noticed that someone posted a similar version of history somewhere else on these forums, I'm not sure where this is coming from. The city police never existed before their recent inception - the creation of a local security force had to have the authorisation of the national congress under the...

You'll get a lot of advice to the contrary but mainly from inexperienced cyclists or people who have never cycled here at all, its certainly doable, take care and ride conservatively and you'll get the hang of things.

Even in stupidity, there is diversity.
