ARGENTINA has made a formal complaint to Uruguay today after the country's leader seemingly made some rather disparaging remarks aimed at president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her late husband.
Jose Mujica reportedly called his Argentine counterpart an "old hag," without knowing his microphone was switched on last night. *tap tap* "is this thing on?"
He was heard telling, Carlos Enciso, the governor of Uruguay's Florida province: "That old hag's worse than the cross-eyed one," referring to Ms Kirchner's late husband and former Argentinian president Nestor Kirchner. "he weirded me out"
"Cross-eyes was more of a politician, she's just stubborn," he added.
The irate Buenos Aires swiftly responded with an official protest, calling the comments "unacceptable". "she's not that old!"

By all rights Argentina should have the highest per capita income in the Southern Hemisphere.

By all rights Mexico should be way higher than its GDP neighbor South Korea which has a fraction of the population, no natural resources, and very little arable land. Argentina and Mexico, what do they have in common that kills GDP [coming to 'Alta' California very very soon]? /rhet question

Was traveling in Europe in the early 80's. Wound up talking to some locals who assured me that South America would be the next economic up and comer. I just laughed and told them that it would never happen until they got the corruption under control. So, in case any of those fine folk are reading this -- I told you so!

Cost effectiveness analysis - hire more private security [along with potential liability - see the tort lawyers salivating] or move out. Detroit II, III, IV, V, VI...coming soon. Parasites are killing the host. From the same political spectrum that throws fits about clear cutting and strip mining the environment, but can't see their own action are no different to the financial state of their local/state governments.

Champ [most powerful man in the world] wasted no time in sending WH condolences regarding the death of Taylorville, IL native and film critic Roger Ebert. The 5% won't be felt, Roger probably left him a few million dollars or a few thousand Google shares, or both. Just a bit to tide the community over.

And he forced some FED employees into a 20% cut... insulting, keep it for all I care. the 5% he gives back will get covered in spades by the dollars he wastes hosting his criminal friends.

Sometimes I think he's totally tone-deaf and then I realize that the people that are paying attention to this sort of thing already have made up their minds about him so this sort of thing has no effect.
Makes me wonder why the president even gets a salary. I believe every single thing in their life is paid for during their term of office.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
