Dalbon: such a hater!

Gregorio Dalbón, one of Cristina Fernández’s  lawyers, has celebrated Claudio Bonadío’s death. An act of (divine?) justice, in his eyes. Not surprising, though. That’s his usual style. He’s so cocky, so conceited, such a bully, such a show off, that he probably doesn’t mind hurting anybody’s feelings. I’m reminded of Nisman’s Seguir leyendo

Hannibal’s back!

Wait! Aníbal Fernández is back? How come? Trustee of Río Turbio coal mine? “Turbio” (grubby, crooked, shady, murky), in-keeping with the character in question.  There are several “legends” around him.

Nisman’s ghost

“I doubt Nisman committed suicide, but there’s no proof of murder”, Alberto Fernández  has recently stated.

«Love makes us patient. So many times we lose patience, even me, and I apologize for yesterday’s bad example,» the Pope said, after slapping a woman’s hand the day before.

On the threshold of 2020

2020 already! Unbelievable! I was born in 1951 and always thought of the year 2000 as a Bradburyan science fiction fantasy. But here I am, still alive and kicking. I’ve been lucky enough to have witnessed countless revolutions in all fields. I can’t help feeling, however, that in many aspects Seguir leyendo
