Hace mucho que el fútbol en nuestro país huele mal, muy mal. Hace años que dejó de ser tan solo un deporte o un sano entretenimiento popular. Hace tiempo que huele a mafias, a negociados, a barrabravas, a violencia, a negocios turbios, sórdidos. Y ahora, la gota que rebasa la Seguir leyendo
“Something is rotten in Denmark”, said Prince Hamlet. I’d like to borrow Shakespeare’s phrase and apply it to our national sport: football. Football, at least in our country, stinks. Far from a healthy sport and a popular entertainment, football here is immediately linked with dirty business: hooligans (“barrabravas”), violence, bribes, Seguir leyendo
Dado el actual estado de cosas, con personajes como Cristóbal López y Amado Boudou (entre tantísimos otros) libres, y previas disculpas a los patriotas Vicente López y Planes y Blas Parera, propongo como ciudadana rasa que nuestro glorioso Himno Nacional sea perentoriamente reemplazado por el emblemático tango de Enrique Santos Seguir leyendo
When people like Cristóbal López and his partner, Fabián de Sousa , both accused of a huge tax fraud, are freed, (just like that, overnight), the average Argentine citizen, the one who can hardly make ends meet, the one who pays his taxes regularly (and seldom sees any derived benefit, Seguir leyendo

Both were serving out life sentences for «disappearing» thousands of people during the military rule that began with the 1976 coup d’etat, and ended in Seguir leyendo
Respeto profundamente a Lilita Carrió, por su coraje, su coherencia, su honestidad intelectual, su solidez, su perseverancia. Sin embargo, su tweet pidiéndoles a los legisladores que posterguen el debate con respecto a la legalización del aborto, me parece poco feliz.
