The late, great George Carlin on US politicians: Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They...

Read my statement again. Assuming you meant Benito T is a nut and HRC is a crook, the former is a much worse option than the latter.

I'll take the crook over the nut anyday, although the nut is just as much a crook, so a crook who isn't a crooked nut seems to be a somewhat better option...considering the options, of course.

For those with access to cable TV, the debate will be broadcast by CNN, BBC and FOX.

Frightening, indeed. SCOTUS appointments seem to be one of the primary reasons so many previously anti-Trump Rethuglicans are no longer pursuing their cause against Benito T.

Richard Cohen's WP op-ed hits the nail on the head with his assessment of the two candidates' campaign platforms. He is particularly astute when referring to Trump's appeal to working class white American males, which can be summed up by the following two statements in his article: "His appeal...

I always laugh when many Argentines tell me that their foremost dislike of US society is that it is so consumer oriented. Usually this is said with an air of haughty disdain, which is then followed by a declaration that, overall, Argentines are satisfied with having just enough to be...

Sorry for that. Definitely SPANISH subtitles.

Chris, the movie is shown with English subtitles at Bullich and all other theatres in BA. I suggest you use cinesargentinos.com.ar for movie schedules, show times, etc. I've found this site to be the best source for all information concerning current and forthcoming movies.

Ha! Priceless!

Yesterday I and my partner used our US ATM cards at Banco Frances. We encountered no problems. And, for the record, we use different banks in different US cities, thus two completely different cards.

Clinton and Trump are the most disliked and mistrusted candidates in the history of US presidential election campaigns.

SFO is both the city code and airport code for SF. BUE is the city code and EZE is the airport code for only one of BA's airports, the other being AEP (Aeroparque). There are many cities/towns that use city codes only for their airports, particularly when said cities/towns have only one...

Dennisr, from which airport in the US did you fly to BA? The only time EZE customs checks my luggage is when I arrive from MIA. Never a check coming from NYC/DFW/ATL.

Agree 100%, Lacoqueta. Whether it be Uber or some other service, lack of choice is one of my primary complaints about Argentina.

They are still (somewhat) popular in the NYC area. To this day, good old Entenmann's still bakes and boxes them during Lent. I would stuff myself with both Entenmann's and bakery versions, never tiring of them. I wish only that they were made all year long!

Cracker Barrel cheddar, a very definitely US style of cheddar cheese, has been around for decades, and it's a pretty good product. Can you tell me which Carrefour? Let me know and I'll make a run for some!

Oh, how I love bangers and mash! I could eat this stuff several times a week and be happy as a clam!

While I agree with you that BA is less safe now than at any time during the last 45 years of my time(s) spent here, both as a visitor and a resident, there's no comparing San Telmo today with Hell's Kitchen NY today, for this area has succumb to Manhattan gentrification. It's unrecognizable...

ElQueso, you never cease to brighten my day with your erudite posts/comments. As always, many thanks.
