Como los ingleses voy a estar en el "shadow cabinet" (el gabinete en las sombra) siguiendo los pasos de Obama - a ver si cumple lo que ha prometido. Sin duda mucho mas inteligente que la pobre Cristina, el regalito que les dejo Kirchner a los argentinos. Hasta ahora demostro habilidad para pasar el tremendo filtro de las primarias derrotar el aparato clintonista organizar muy bien su campaña y llegar a la presidencia de este pais que no es poco. Pero como decimos en Argentina - en la cancha se ven los pingos.

Algunas observaciones de Taki:
"America’s diminished intellectualism has made this interminable election period...boring
Part of the problem is that presidential candidates try ‘to reach out to younger voters’, hardly an admirable goal as demographic researchers have gone the way of TV programmers, targeting young morons whose Facebooks comprise 90 per cent of their education. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain have all been forced to make appearances on vile and vulgar TV shows..
...
"Do any of you remember the time when politicians were careful about whom they hung out with?
(Yo me hago la misma pregunta p.e: Los Kirchner con Rudy Ulloa, Hebe de Bonafini, D'Elia, etc)
"Even better, do any of you remember when MPs would communicate with each other — Tories, that is — by conversing in Greek or Latin?
The study of those two languages, with their illuminations on morality and philosophy, reached a nadir during the greedy Eighties and Nineties, when students said to hell with the ancients, let’s all become investment bankers and high-tech millionaires.
...
Terrible lo que esta pasando en la Gran Manzana (hace poco pase por la porqueria que esta construyendo Trump en Soho.):
"Last week I found myself protesting against yet another outrage, that taking place on West 28th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues, where Tin Pan Alley was born. Tin Pan Alley’s golden age was back in the Twenties and Thirties, where titans of song such as George Gershwin and Irving Berlin got their start. But the stretch earned its nickname at the turn of the century, when music companies moved in and the tinkling of pianos could be heard blocks away, 24 hours a day. It was a beautiful kind of clangour, now no longer heard, but the crumbling façades of those historic buildings are still there, unchanged, and one can look up and imagine the melodies."

El pasquin oficialista "Pagina 12" tiene una radio
Segun Don Jorge Asis ahora el pasquin oficialista Pagina 12 acaba de incorporar una radio al aparato de propaganda kirchnerista. Da asco.
"La Secretaría de Estado de Página 12 dispone, por fin, de una radio. El multimediatismo, aleluya, es una aventura posible. En adelante, la dependencia periodístico-gubernamental se encargará de administrar los contenidos de Radio del Plata."

Delirios. Politica sin romance
"People are under delusions as to the importance of their vote. . . You’re more likely to be killed on the way to the polling booth than that you will change the outcome. . . . I don’t vote because I know there’s no likelihood my vote will affect the outcome. . . . If nobody else votes, I vote. "

Gordon Tullok, junto a James Buchanan, es el fundador de public-choice economics quie que segun la definicion de Buchanan es "politics without romance"

For tonight
Miss the election results. Avoid the attempts to build drama, the endless talking heads, and the false quest for meaning.
Instead, go to Mass, have dinner with friends and avoid talking about politics.
Don't miss the end: "what do we do now?" Good question.
-- Rex
Another opinion (from an argentine student at Columbia University, obamista de la primera hora. Este "estudiante" tiene pasion por los nombres y lugares exoticos.)
"En un mundo -y un país- en donde todo es mentira e indignidad, le deseamos la mejor de las suertes a Obama, por la pequeña reserva de verdad y dignidad que todavía mantiene. Ya se le agotará pronto, ya tendremos tiempo para desilusionarnos. Mientras tanto, y como ciudadano que ha perdido -con felicidad- todas las elecciones en que ha participado, mis mejores augurios para él. " P.G.
P.S: Para otra oportunidad lo que pensaba Evola.

Por que los liberales deberian ponerse contentos de resultar McCain ganador
De Bill Kristol en el NYT:
1. It would be a victory for an underdog. Liberals are supposed to like underdogs. McCain is a lonely guy standing up against an unprecedentedly well-financed, superorganized, ExxonMobil-like Obama juggernaut. A McCain upset victory would be a classic liberal happy ending.
2. It would be a defeat for the establishment. Obama’s most recent high-profile Republican endorser was D.C. insider Kenneth Duberstein. Liberals should be on the side of hard-working plumbers, not big-shot lobbyists — oops, sorry, big-shot strategic advisers and consultants. And Duberstein said that Colin Powell’s endorsement was “the Good Housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama.” Doesn’t that comment embody everything that liberals (and many conservatives, including me) find creepy about smug establishment back-scratching and gatekeeping in America?

Under the proposed amendment, the disability must only be certified to exist by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
