Now Albert is saying that the lack of dollars is due to Argentina's dramatic growth and that there is a growth crisis!

What the actual fuck?

...of her head.

The moment Queen Bitch refuses to sign her name with Macri's pen.

Quote from serafina

I wasn't expecting anything more from her. After all, he's been on her for his whole term (yeah, saying 'let the justice do its due course...' but that was the message) and forced her daughter to exile in Cuba (fun!).

What really disturbed me was the stadium crowd... in Parliament. If those are the more educated and high representing one, then the gap with the cartonero outside doing exactly the same thing is just a matter of attire. A herd of bonobos in a suit.

You're right.

It's a coliseum, a theatre of savages with their claws and fangs hidden from sight, just as long as we stick to their mantra of 'do as we say, but not as we do.'

Added to which, each and every member of both houses has immunity from prosecution, pays no income taxes and is paid an extraordinary salary plus ridiculous benefits and expenses.

How can anyone possibly have respect for a rabble like that?

She was behaving like this. Resentful and full of hatred, so just watch her body language when Macri enters the scene. Quite repulsive by anyone's standards.

That's Rice post of the year!

Don't be fooled. Her glory days are not over by a long shot. That chicken neck is here to stay. She has a plan, believe me.

My household, apart from me, is remarkably upbeat and optimistic after yesterday.

I haven't watched any of it yet, but I gather Albert's speech is said to have been inspiring, with a view to bringing people together, although I seem to remember that Macri kicked off with the same ideals four years ago.

In fact, Adri's boy (22) said that it was the best speech he'd heard in his (short) lifetime; he was impressed that Albert had driven himself to the ceremony in his silver grey Toyota, had pushed Michetti's wheelchair up a ramp and had basically connected with the people - where have I heard that before? No fancy political footwork there then?

Adri is impressed with the new economy minister, Guzman, who upped sticks at Harvard to take the job, as he has massive experience in this field. I seem to remember that all Macri's men did too.

There's no doubt that Albert has the common touch, something Macri lacks, but will it be enough?

But what worries me most is CFK.

Remember Dick Cheney? He became practically the most powerful person the USA when he was vice-president to GWB and was the one pulling all the strings behind the scenes, not to mention Rumsfeld.

Cheney was able to latch onto little known clauses in the law and constitution which enabled him to wield huge power. He had offices in all the important places in Washington, including The Pentagon and the House of Representatives. In other words, he knew almost everything that he needed to know, by keeping his enemies close by.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see CFK doing a Dick Cheney, with her primary motive being spite, hatred and revenge. She was out in the cold for four years, but now she's back with a master plan and very sharp knives.

Macri and his colleagues will be her first targets, following the release of all those so-called political prisoners in Ezeiza and Marcos Paz.

And those trials and indictments she's ensnared in? They will quietly die away as she worms her way into the judiciary, yet again.

Did you manage to snap any photos @JAN ?

Oh shit. Glad I missed the whole f***ng thing.

A picture that speaks a thousand words.

I notice that the BBC hasn't given one millimetre of space to Albert's coronation. Zilch, nada, nothing, which doesn't surprise me one bit.

One for @JAN

Peronia.

Spotted today outside the Congress

I would but having already been out on my bike, the heat may defeat me.

I just turned on the transistor radio and and every channel is taken over by it.

That's something I just hate - the state having the right to smother radio stations.

Oh my giddy aunt!

Choris for the people!

Sounds like a great GoPro opportunity for me and no, I wouldn't sorry about security. Why would there be any trouble anyway?
