    ”The exercise of power implies a serious health risk if the president does not change her attitude”. -
    to change her attitude she must have been undertaken a brain-washing and repair of her DNA, not only a blood removing.

    So she could snuff it any minute! In the good old days, when a “ruler” died, most of the servants, advisers etc. occupied pride of place on the funeral pyre. Sometimes, their throats were cut first. Still, no need to go to all that bother. Moreno would be a good start. Right up at the top of the pyre. Put his gun in his trouser pocket. Watch the ammunition “cook off”. Then Putrid Jelly. Defence and then Security. A definite “failure”. Tinboy deserves a place. Perhaps his specs will explode into his eyes! Lorenzino? Everybody has to have an arse. And that hair will burn so well. Perhaps the rest could be viewed as “kindling”. There used to be a wonderful procedure where they roasted people's feet over a fire until the bones dropped out. Should go with that. Roast from the knees down. Takes up less space on the pyre! After that WE should seek out the war criminals amongst the population. More pyres? Drop them in the Atlantic 199 miles offshore? How about the ancient punishment of tying them in a sack with dogs and snakes and throwing them in a river? Let's see. 255 British servicemen and 3 Falkland Islanders unlawfully killed. 160,000
    argies for each of our defenders seems about right!

    I can think of a few Argentines that may deserve to live. But, on the available evidence, there's not many. “Proper” Argentines should seriously consider leaving. There is much danger ahead. Feral argies can be seen in La Campora.

    Cutting out the screaming and shouting would be a good start to recover her health it would also make her look “normal” apart from the physical features such as botox and three coats of orange paint to the “face” and she would be “good to go”.

    Ha, ha, ha. You have to love the “government” of The Dark Country.

    I wish her a swift recovery. Hopefully her mental balance will have improved after surgery.

    Article says….:
    ”Addressing the Uruguayan audience, Castro said “I'm going to reveal to you firsthand information on the subject”

    I say…:
    ”Firsthand information” ???

    I ”Think” I would be able to gather at least one firsthand, hundreds of secondhand and thousands of third-hand information sources that would swear over their mothers grave that Mr. Castro was NOT present at Ms. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner operation…

    Firsthand information……, my left foot!

    ” He added “the worst thing that could happen to Argentina is that Cristina does not complete her four years”.

    Replace 'to Argentina' with 'to the Falkland Islands'

    Come back Chrissie, you are good for the Falkland Islanders.

    Scioli is already the anointed successor and nominated candidate for 2015 .
    She will not finish her term ( very few Argentine presidents ever do ).
    There is a certain kharma in the fact that she will not be in good health to be able to enjoy the billions she has stolen .

    The reason she will not be back at work tomorrow is she is not allowed to fly .
    Moreno and Abal Medina don't want the public seeing her licking the car windows as she drives down Avda Libertador.
    She has been diagnosed with Pick's disease .

    THE DECADENCE OF D. R. HUBRIS.
    I used to have respect for nelson castro, although i have never agreeded on most his opinions, however, since some years ago, he has became into a pathetic political operator of the clarin group, which often makes hypocritical analysis, beside, he has shown to be just a reactionary defensor of the economic interests of the group which he works for.
    A few months ago, in his tv programme by tn (clarin group) he said that cristina suffers of sindrom called hubris, which actually doesn't exist, anyway, in another programme he insisted on his diagnostic, and said hubris was also suffered by thatcher, bush and pinochet.
    What he did, was a total lack of ethic, because he can't give any diagnostic if c. f. k's is not his patient, and even if she was his patient, he must keep the professional secret.
    Mercopress should realise that it devaluates it's self every time it publishes the hypocritical opinions of such shameful political operators who present their selves as independent journalists. If the editorial line of mercopress is to be anti kirchnerist, it should know that in the mainland there are some journalists who aren't kirchnerist, but who are much more serious than castro, lanata or morales sola. People like graciela motchkovszky, maria o' donell, martin sivak, maximiliano montenegro, deserve much more to be dated than castro, due to anybody can agree or not on their opinions, in fact, i don't agree on most they think about kirchnerism, but they are serious people, not like a guy like casro, who is just a pathetic politic operator.

    When 80% of the media is controlled by the government , I think it is admirable that some people stand up and tell the truth , despite threats of violence , tax investigation or expropriation .
    If the K government had nothing to hide , they would not set out to destroy Grupo Clarin .
    Democracy is about honesty , transparency and accountability .
    Your pathetic excuse of a current government fails on all three counts .

    USURPING PIRATE.
    I don't know where are you from, but whereever ever you live, this is evident that you are just buying the tipicall distorted information, repeated by the most reactionary groups which hate c. f. k.
    The soposed 80% of controll that the government makes over media, is just a pathetic lie, in fact, official advertising represents no more than the 10% of the whole advertisings, so, this is evident that freedom if press in this country doens't depend mostly on official advertisings. Anyway, you just need to turn tv on, and see the plurality of opinions in different chanels, for example, in the most important chanels from buenos aires, like chanel 26 you can see leuco, eliashev, montenegro, grondona, in america 24 you can find garcia, in c5n which despite it was bought by cristobal lopez, who is pro kirchnerist bussinessman, you can see, laje, gelblund, etchecopar, feiman, in america 2, you can see legrand and majul, all these journalists are furious detractors of kirchnerism, some of them are serious, and some other are pathetic, beside, we have canal 13 (clarin group), tn, and all the rest of the 250 licences of that group in the hole country, on the other hand,we have la nación, perfil, noticias and many other magazines and journals around the country which are anti kirchnerist.
    In relation to the new broadcast law, it's restrictions are not much different from those that exist in u. s. a., england, germany, france, and in any other country, beside, it was praised by relator from u. n. frank larue. If you are so detractor of kirchnerism, there are some serious falencies that you can criticise, even i do it, beyond i'm a kirchnerist activist, however, it's really difficult to have a mature conversation, when the arguments of some detractors are based on mendacious mediatic operations.

    Axel :

    The K govt spends U$S150M on govt propaganda on Futbol Para Todos .
    It's trying to control Papel Prensa to deny the opposition press newsprint .
    They tried to close Cablevision and Fibertel .
    Nestor never gave a press conference .
    She doesn't either , it's all done by speeches or twitter , because she cannot rationalise or formulate an answer to difficult questions ( despite calling herself a lawyer ) about her policies
    Opponents are silenced by threats of in depth tax investigations by AFIP .
    Even your precious UN is concerned about eroding press freedoms in Argentina .
    Peronism has always been more about grasshoppers than ants , apart from Menem , who was most definitely an ant .
    Teach this at primary schools , instead of the constant lies :

    “She has been diagnosed with Pick's disease .”

    Oh dear, if your source is correct and she has only just been diagnosed she has 10 years at the most or less to live, the final 2 or 3 as a gibbering idiot.

    I have shown remarkable control in not making a joke of it for the simple reason that it is not funny for anyone to have this problem.

    USURPING PIRATE.
    Since papel prensa is regulated by the state, there are no more problems of paper provisions for all the rest of newspapers, as it used to happen when that regulation didn't exist. If you believe in economic leberalims, the defence that you make of the clarin group, which is an oligopolic megacorporation, with interests in the financial sistem, in the agrarian sector, in the editorial sector, is too pathetic.
    The soposed threats by afip to oponnents, is just one more of the rediculous lis that you love buying, in fact, just turn tv on, and see all they say about the government everyday.
