Do Not Despair my faithful disciples
I am still lurking in the shadows resting from Leonelfatigue. I am so exhausted with picking apart Leonel's "How not to govern a nation" that I barely have time to keep up with DR1.
Seriously, I am trying to survive this tsunami.
The penthouse should be sold next week. Gazcue is still peaceful under the present conditions. But, like everywhere, muggings are just now a fact of life. There is no safe place in our 48,000 sq. kilometers.
Chile is so lucky electing a female. We should be so lucky. To all Chileans in this board, congratulations. Lady Bachelet should continue what Lagos has done, which is really a lecture on how to run a government, something Leonel needs a long refreshing course.
Fortunately, I've been able to use my economic skills to anticipate this bastard, and so far he hasn't fooled me, as he has done many.
I can't wait to retire this clown. I hope to the U.N., where he is hoping he can replace the inept Kofi. I hope he can fool everyone there and get the job so we don't have to see him again.
But I am doing fine. Thanks for your concern. I wish you all the best too.
I don't believe you need me now with things so clear. Does it really take a genius to know DR is going nowhere? That we are doomed to regress another 50 years on civilization? That we have more garbage, crime, disease, bigotry,uneducation, unemployment, inflation, taxes,government harrassment and intrusion, tigueraje,traffic jams than ever?
Has anyone seen a proud "platano" lately? Our main staple has become a joke at supermarkets. It takes three platanos to make a mang?, but it costs you $25. We should rename it "el bananito". That's how small it is. If it's happened to the glorious platano, what do you expect of the country?
The Dominican peso should be banned. It stinks as much as the paper it's printed on. Ever seen a $2000 peso bill lately. Nobody wants it. Sorry no change!! Can a country be serious when a lousy bill worth at best US$50 cannot be accepted anywhere?
Did you all see the too small to be seen 2005 Financial Statement for Banco Central? Why don't we close the damn thing!!
I am so glad the new definition of banana republic has been changed to "Estado Fallido". We should be the standard bearer after Haiti.
Whe I saw the pictures of those Haitians dead it reminded me of Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia. I never thought I would ever see scenes like these in the beautiful Caribbean. What a shame. I'm so embarrassed I don't want my face in public.
