What’s up, Doc Fernández?

I expected the brand new administration to charge openly  against the journalists who supported “Cambiemos” from the very start.  No surprise at all. What blew my mind was our elected president’s ramming against Bugs Bunny! “Animated cartoons are a system of social control”, Alberto Fernández stated. This legendary rabbit is not the Seguir leyendo

Vox populi, Vox Dei

Ok. Now it’s their turn. I wonder if they’ll start their administration complaining about “la herencia recibida” – the received heritage (something Mauricio Macri should have stressed way back in 2015, but failed to do so). Fortunately for all of us, there will be some kind of balance. The winners Seguir leyendo

All the best!

Honestly, I can’t wait. Whoever wins tomorrow, I do hope our representatives show tolerance and common sense, and choose to join efforts, regardless their parties and ideologies.  We haven’t touched bottom yet, but are pretty close.

Debate or boring stand-up?

No interaction whatsoever. The speakers didn’t even look at one another. On the other hand, they sounded as if Seguir leyendo

Fed up by now…

Whatever the result of the October presidential elections is, whoever  wins, I do hope everything’s over as soon as possible, so that we can leave this sort of limbo, this endless period of waiting, this nowhere land we’re all living in, with candidates promising things and the government taking last minute, Seguir leyendo

The rest is silence…

I was literally struck by her short but powerful speech. Let me quote 16-year- old Greta Thunberg’s warning to world leaders (and to all of us), at the UN climate summit: “My message is: we’ll be watching you”. (the audience chuckled and clapped). “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be Seguir leyendo

Basketball life lessons

Although Spain defeated Argentina in the Basketball World Cup, our squad’s performance was absolutely brilliant. There’s so much to learn from these players, their discipline, their commitment, their passion. We should listen to star Luis Scola’s advice and apply it to our everyday life. There’s no magic here, he says.  Simply Seguir leyendo
