Since nobody is buying my economic theories on the increased supply of prostitutes as a result of failed economic policies I might have to rethink my thesis subject.
How about the thinner and more attractive you are, the cheaper the chica rate? My guess is I could get a good control group from some of the mongers on this board. Any volunteers?
Happy Kwanzaa, MoFos!

Happy Kwanzaa, MoFos![/QUOTE]Hey, I like the theories, especially that formula. Don't mind BadMan. I have a hunch that he may have a Che t-shirt he's not telling us about. He's mulled over and rejected all of these political theories and formulae long ago and now he just finds them tiresome.;-)
But, I don't think you'll get too much argument here over whether subsidized breast enhancement would be a social benefit. If you're looking to pick a fight, you'll have to make that argument on the Women for Che board. Even there you probably wouldn't get too much of a fight. There's principle, there's theory, and then there's free lolas. At the end of the day, the first two don't matter nearly as much as the last two.

This is a great Your View letter from the BA Herald. I especially like the comment about the advertisement for botox. Classic; enjoy.
SAD SUMMITRY.
"Surely it is long past the time that these carpet-bagger Ks were booted smartly out of office. Needless to say, with no disrespect to the rank, title and position they hold.
As I watch the ever growing huff, puff and bluff of the likes of Raúl C, Lula, Chávez, Morales et. Al. With their phony socialism, people who would not know democracy if they fell over it in the street, with their multi-million-dollar "mutual admiration" back-scratching summit meetings that achieve nothing, apart from maybe drafting letters to Uncle Sam and the West demanding more interest-free loans, and where these wildly adored and beloved leaders are outnumbered at least 100 to one by security personnel of all stripes, I am deeply saddened that a great country like Argentina, with such a wonderfully rich history of business, economic and cultural prowess should be reduced to sending an over-the-hill advertisement for Botox, with a begging-bowl to such gatherings.
With its stature, a great, great country like Argentina should be leading this rabble, not following lamely behind.
During my 15 months' stay in Bariloche, I very much appreciated the BAH, and now that I am currently "parked" in Brazil, while I consider which way to jump next, I miss your excellent daily Argentine and world coverage."

I just wonder where the Herald writer discovered "...a wonderfully rich history of business, economic and cultural prowess...". In all my reading of Argentine history, no objective commentator has ever discovered anything but failed business and economic models. The gaucho (mestizo) culture is not valued by the Portenos. Nor is anything much related to the country culture. A few affect to collect colonial silver, especially knives but not with any great appreciation of the background. And there is a wealth of it around. The tango culture (music, not dancing) is alive and well but is really restricted to central Buenos Aires. The country people have their folklorico and the city has tango. They both share the passion for simple grilled meat, a leftover from the gaucho. So the cultural bit I accept.
But the guy tapped the K's perfectly.

"The Capitalist Pigs Will Pay in Blood for Their Crimes" - Che, Hugo the Cuddly Bear, Fidel, Hanoi Jane and Rafael Correa.
"As long as I can get my hands on dollars, that is." - Sr. Rafael Correa.
I love the part at the end where he threatens to jail the bankers. I believe that has some traction and I can get behind him on that. Or as the homies say, "I'm down wif dat"
Hot off the press:
Ecuador's Correa says "stupid" to scrap U. S. Dollar.
QUITO (Reuters) – Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said on Saturday it would be "really stupid" to abandon the U. S. Dollar and vowed to keep the greenback as the OPEC nation's official currency.
Economists fear the leftist Correa will scrap the dollar to better deal with an economy reeling from plummeting oil prices and limited foreign credit after he defaulted on $3.8 billion in sovereign bonds over illegalities charges.
"It will be really stupid to scrap the dollar," Correa said during his weekly media address. "Our government has done more than anyone to protect the dollarized (economy)"
The dollar, adopted as Ecuador's currency in 2000 to halt devaluations after a crippling financial crisis, is widely popular among Ecuadoreans who see it as an anchor of economic stability.
Correa said he will reduce public spending and restrict imports to keep more dollars in the country.
Analysts say lower public spending could hurt Correa's buoyant popularity as he faces re-election in April.
The U. S.-trained economist warned that the global financial crisis "will hit us and hit us hard," and said his government will take "imaginative" measures to counter its effects on the oil-producing nation's poor majority.
He also said his government will face "a grave financing problem" that it plans to tackle by seeking loans from regional lenders and issuing debt for the social security institute to buy. The head of the institute has said it can buy up to $1.2 billion in domestic bonds to help the government.
Correa said he will ask for loans from lenders like the Inter-American Development Bank, Andean Development Corporation and Latin American Reserve Fund. Analysts have warned Ecuador's debt default will severely reduce multilateral credit.
Correa, a former economic minister, also denied rumors he plans to freeze banks' deposits, which were in part fueled by a newspaper ad from major banks who said the government's growing role in the economy jeopardizes the stability of the sector.
He threatened to jail bankers if they issue another statement that sparks rumors among depositors.
Thousands of Ecuadoreans lost their life savings during the 1999 banking collapse that forced the government to freeze deposits to prevent a massive withdraws from hurting liquidity.
Jackson,
Is that a swipe at anyone we know? Sounds like the new mayor of a small town I heard of in Alabama. He is kind of like that except he is a white Redneck and can't speak very well and wants things to stay the same.
Can you help me if it's not him? Suerte.
P. S. - I know who it really is. Al Franken right?

This guy obviously only spent two nights in Bs Aires and experienced my favorita at Black. She has a very rich history of business, economic and cultural prowess. At least the next morning I usually think so.
Other than that scenario, I'm in the "Lost" category with you.

Yee-Haw!
Does anybody know where I go to sign up for some of them minority preferences.
Thanks,

Why, do you know another president with the same empty resume?

CFK? Hehe, for a moment I thought you were speaking about México and Vicente Fox. Seems like candidates who come from minorities, have no real life experience in politics and posess good verbal skills are common in every country. Greetings don Jackson.
GWB is a minority. Educated, Hard working, Loves his Country. Give him his cheese now!
