I dislike being underestimated. When someone (a lawmaker, of all people) advises me to tip at bars and restaurants, I say to myself: Why should anyone remind me to do what I’ve always done? Furthermore, what’s that got to do with the huge economic crisis we’re going through? Is tipping and hiring Seguir leyendo
Although this might sound politically incorrect, I must confess I’m not a football fan. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help sharing in the collective joy we Argentines felt last Tuesday, after Marcos Rojo scored that winning goal (“un golazo”) in the match against Nigeria. Actually, we were starving for joy, for a little Seguir leyendo
No soy muy futbolera. Como platense, simpatizo con Estudiantes de La Plata, y me alegró el golazo de Rojo, obviamente. Pero más allá de todo, sentí algo muy claramente al percibir el tan necesario desborde de alegría colectivo, en casas, oficinas, calles y plazas. Cuando el adversario (o enemigo) es Seguir leyendo
When I saw the images and heard those kids crying, I naively thought it was the preview of a movie, a horror movie. I’ve always considered Trump a dangerous individual, clownish at times, always bossy and boasting of an Ego as big as his country. But this family splitting immigration Seguir leyendo
Robert de Niro received a standing ovation at the Tony Awards in New York last Sunday, when he stepped on stage and stated briefly: “I’m gonna say one thing: Fuck Trump. It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump’. It’s Fuck Trump”. The audience seemed to agree wholeheartedly. How did Trump react: Seguir leyendo
Los adultos solemos descalificar a los jóvenes. Que nada los motiva ni los entusiasma, que son apáticos, abúlicos, que viven en sus burbujas electrónicas, que les falta pasión y vocación, que carecen de valores, que no se esfuerzan, que quieren todo fácil y YA, que bla, bla, bla. Y resulta Seguir leyendo
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
