Just Plain Crazy



Great picture of Geert Wilders. Crazy name, crazy guy – but very sound on the Euro (Bring back the Gülder).


Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner – crazy name, crazy gal – is upping the ante in the coming war with Spain. “I am a head of state, not a thug”, she has proclaimed. Very disconcerting because I thought that was a sine-qua-non qualification to be President of Argentina (aka The Argentine in English). Cf Videla, Galtieri, Carlos Menem, Nestor himself, not to mention the saintly Juan and his wives. Has Cristina asked Andy L-W to write a new catchy musical?

There was a curious anecdote in a recent report about the Argie’s way of diplomacy and business. Supposedly Hillary Clinton (Sec of State of these mighty United States) after a meeting with Cristina, ordered up a psych profile of the President of all the Argies after being somewhat gob-smacked by the thug/head-of-state’s performance. What wasn’t reported was that Cristina ordered up the same on Hillary (Mena Airport, married to Bill, Whitewater, Monica, Vincent Foster).


The ripples of the Bo/Heywood OH/ Bo Ga Ga/Mrs. Bo (did she or didn’t she have a fling with Neil?) are spreading through the body politic of the Middle Kingdom. Top cop Wang and billionaire Xu are in trouble/the pokey/incommunicado. Due process for all is of course a top priority. Habeas corpus – we do indeed have the body (lots of them in fact). Which involves deciding who is prime candidate for the bullet to the back of the head and instant cremation, with “alcohol induced heart attack” on the death cert. “Off with their heads. Sentence before verdict”, the Queen of Hearts is screaming. Where is Madame Mao when we need her?


If I had a Euro for every Eurocrat and Europol assertion (always issued in all-knowing and stentorian rhetoric) that Spain, absolutely, positively, definitely, definitively and without fear of contradiction … where was I? – oh yes; Spain won’t need a bail-out, I’d have enough Euro’s to bail out Spain myself. And pay for King Juan Carlos new hips; crushed by a falling elephant. (So hard to be a King these days and keep up appearances – especially with a ne’er-do-well son-in-law). Maybe he should send the Armada against Cristina and hope it doesn’t get wrecked off Las Malvinas.
