    Can't leave Argentina now.

    As soon as she is gone, there are factions that will move for a coup...

    “Cristina Fernandez suffers from low blood pressure or hypotension and her last bout was in August when she had to suspend her agenda for two days”

    as well as suffering from delusions of grandeur, Paranoia AND being a dingbat.

    But what she suffers from can in no way compare to what her country suffers from her.

    You can't pump blood if you don't have a heart. This would also explain why none of it ever reached her brain. I imagine British Kirchnerist is wearing a black lace veil and weeping on his knees towards the pictures of CFK in his wardrobe.

    low blood pressure? good for her and the environment. how would she act if she had a normal pressure - or even a high one? she would be a walking bomb and a threat for the environment!

    It is just another side effect of her bipolar disorder. The antipsychotics can cause low blood pressure and thyroid problems.

    I think she will become increasingly sick as she looks for a way out when it all comes tumbling down.

    I don't think her ego or sense of self preservation will allow her to step down. She is mentally unstable and all of this pressure is taking a toll.
    Starting with next week's protests, the planned national strike, IMF red card and the 2nd default in 10 yrs I don't see how she can take it.
    Should be fun to watch.

    It's a shame it isn't high blood pressure as that's very difficult to spot and is often lethal

    Anyone else think this might just be an attention grabbing stunt as her country's economy going down the drain?

    @5 “For many people, low blood pressure can cause dizziness and fainting or indicate serious heart, endocrine or neurological disorders. Severely low blood pressure can deprive the brain and other vital organs of oxygen and nutrients, leading to a life-threatening condition called shock.” Just a thought. Might such an individual also be considered close to brain-death?
    @13 Have you got your air-ticket? Will you be throwing yourself on the funeral pyre?

    Did you ever find out where Blind Scottie Kirchnerist lives the last time you wanted to help into the next world?

    I think your comment on him throwing himself onto her funeral pyre is magical, until you remember that BSK does have the balls.

    I typally fly from Logan (Boston) to Ezeiza. I start looking 3 months beofre my date and the prices typically rise weekly. This is the first time I've seen the dropping.

    Troy November...next week is the worldwide protests.......should prove intersting. I agree that they are starting to snowball. There are rumors they are cancelling all citizens passports ar the start of the year.

    I doubt she'll show her face all week with the way the economy is going.
    Maybe she can play the sympathy card for a seriously ill leader and just stay in her house pretending to be sick for a year or so, only leaving her house to scream about the Falklands

    But isn't she conducting her Presidential duties via a video link at the moment?

    Me thinks that all this good news from the Falklands and the bad news from just about everywhere else is finally hitting home.

    Mind you, don't reptiles get tired and short tempered just before they shed their skin?

    @52 Briton

    Sussie is getting a bit ridiculous, considering who he is...

    I very much doubt that Sussie has ever actually lived in the USA.

    It is one of those taunts he/she uses to bait us.

    He has multiple identities. He has an anal fixation, and it seems he has a desire to be a woman, and could well be a pederast.
    He has been fulfilling those fantasies by pretending to be “Susana Brown” of Tempe Az.

    He thinks it gives him status and attention from the other Argentinians to say he lives in the US.

    The address he gave us and boasted about, was actually a cockroach infested slum.
    He knows nothing of the US and ignores requests to prove he lives there. We gave him simple instructions, but got no reply.

    He is more likely CFK's interior decorator, in her madhouse.

    Spends his/her time insulting others because they know nothing else,
    indoctrination has this effect of fools,

    It seems they use English names to look impressive or intelligent, and neither works,

    Still,
    If they all put as much vigour in looking after their own country, instead of trying to steal and insult others, they [today] would be respected, instead of laughed at.
