    Macri's Amnesia

    https://projects.icij.org/panama-papers/power-players/?lang=es# Can't stand him...never could. Not surprised he was hiding money while unemployment has skyrocketed in his first 6 months. Now I know why he and The Donald are friends.

    So I Guess Cfk Is Really Into Twitter

    I think she may win the prize for a head of State using social media. Do you think she tweets herself or has an aide do it? Was her secret fantasy job a reporter, or a sports announcer? The continuous flow of information is impressive...

    Twilight Zone

    A "nice house" in a FAVELA in Rio is about $45,000US. I saw this listing this morning and think that Detroit may become like Prague in the '90's for many Americans. TRULY unbelievable. A city with such a strong musical legacy has to bounce back...
