    If I recall correctly, talking to Medusa is likely to make one turn to stone.

    GOOD MORNING ARGENTINA !!
    This is Casaca Roja www.casacaroja, broadcasting from our studios in the Slums of BA.
    It’s another sunny day in the city by the river, the city that’s always sleeping with highs of 27 degrees in downtown Buenos Aires and we have just got reports of yet another building collapsing into one of the countless holes we have around the city.
    In fact the buildings here are in such a state of disrepair, that the bullets holes the British left in 1807 still haven’t been filled in yet.
    And the guy that singed his eyebrows and burnt his fingers when he set fire to a British flag on the streets of Buenos Aires yesterday, is going to sue the manufacturers claiming he didn’t expect it to go up so quickly, a spokesman for the company says that he shouldn’t have dowsed it kerosene first.

    But the news TODAY is dominated by the continuing Malvinas, or as the British colonial bastards like to call it, the Falklands dispute.
    First up is some old has-been old rocker called Roger Waters has changed his tune and is now criticising our gracious leader Cristina Fernandez for not seeing the unions, but who cares what he says, he’s an old tosspot, so doesn’t know anything.
    Talking about our gracious leader Cristina, she is still pitched in a tent outside the UN building and will continue to beg for scraps to be sent to the many staving in our glorious mother country while petitioning the delegates on fixing the law so we can rightfully gain sovereignty over our islands that are rightfully ours.
    Unfortunately as Hillary Clinton was coming out of the building she nearly tripped over our gracious leader and only had time to say “get out of my bloody way”

    More reports about the Malvinas in the following thread, in fact that’s all us Argentinians can think of to talk about, I wonder why?

    Waters is completely right about Chilean education, to say his forays into politics have not been a success shows clear bias - who did mercopress want to “succeed” through them? Pinera?

    Moyano sounding more and more weird and desperate here imho. Face it man your not going to be the Argentine Lula and Lula wishes he was Argentine so he could vote for Cristina!

    Politicians will get elected riding on the backs of unions, the general population and whosoever. Once they are in power they are only interested in filling their own pockets and looking after their political elite. Wake up Argentina!

    I am still wondering where all the “poor” Argentines get the money to buy a ticket? Just yesterday, I heard of one young woman who paid 1,000 pesos for a ticket.

    @9 What is that? A week's wages for a lot of folks? I guess if they live at home they can afford that. A lot of young folks seem to have credit cards.

    @11 British_Kirchnerist

    I've been wondering if you are in fact British, as you are such a Kirchner mouth piece, you could be part of her PR team.

    #1 & #13 Well I'm brown haired and Scottish but I definately would like to meet her.

    #12 If only I was, it would be nice to think there was a chance Cristina herself could know of my support, not much chance of that on this troll pit though. What I do is out of political commitment, or, to put it another way, a labour of love =)

    @14 British_Kirchnerist

    Write to her, you're white and brown haired which I imagine will impress her, what have you to lose, you should get a letter back from her at the very least
