Paraphrasing Prince Hamlet, something has historically smelt rotten in the Argentine Football Association (AFA). Suddenly, the friendly match between Israel and Argentina in Jerusalem has been cancelled. Why, you may ask: threats and provocations against Lionel Messi, they say. Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, AFA’s President, in a Mahatma Gandhian style, said Seguir leyendo
Lo sabíamos. Era una fija. Ni bien empezamos a ver “Un gallo para Esculapio” el año pasado, supimos que iba a arrasar con todos los premios. ¿Por qué? Simple. Por un cocktail explosivo: excelente guión, un elenco impecable, una dirección de actores soberbia, una producción de lujo. Todos los rubros Seguir leyendo
What?! Marcelo Tinelli for President?! Well, come to think of it, we’ve had a freaky presidential parade so far in the last few decades: a playboy born in La Rioja, a flying-fleeing “radical” (in Spanish), a Southern Penguin juggling with his baton; a megalomaniac Egyptian female architect, and now, a Seguir leyendo
I’ve always wondered why we are so attracted to royal weddings. It’s a strange kind of voyeurism most of us practice, although we might not confess it openly. We all feel invited to the ceremony. Everyone becomes an expert on hats, tuxedos, gowns, bowties, hairdos, make-up; on what to wear, how Seguir leyendo
“Make sure you’re clean, smell good and dress well. Russian women don’t like to be seen as objects. The advice is to treat the woman in front of you as if she were someone of value” It’s not a joke, although it sounds like one. These “pieces of advice” are Seguir leyendo
I like comparing our country to a household. The people who live in the same house –parents, children, maybe grandparents, an uncle or an aunt- don’t always see things eye to eye. They don’t agree all the time on all matters. Nevertheless, whenever there’s some sort of danger, call it Seguir leyendo
No sé si la comparación es válida, pero se me ocurre imaginar el país como una casa, en la que conviven padre, madre, hijos, abuelos, tal vez tíos, personas que no siempre están de acuerdo, que discuten, pero que en definitiva logran ciertos consensos para seguir compartiendo la vivienda en Seguir leyendo
Dr Harold Bornstein has just admitted that the letter he wrote in 2015, stating in black and white Donald Trump’s “more than perfect health”, was actually dictated by the patient himself. “His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary”, he wrote. “His blood pressure, astonishingly excellent. «If elected, I can state unequivocally Mr Seguir leyendo
I wonder: is anyone in charge of checking the attendance at Congress? More often than not, I can see many seats empty at the “Cámara de Diputados”. Do the absentees suffer any discount in their astronomical salaries? Teachers do. Employees, too. Students might lose their academic year if they don’t attend classes. Anyone Seguir leyendo
Another murder in cold blood. This time, a 26-year-old bus driver, Leandro Alcaraz, who had a day off, but chose to work last Sunday, so that he could be at home the following day, and celebrate his daughter’s 4 th birthday. The killer: a younger man, who didn’t hesitate to Seguir leyendo
