#1 SO if I go to Argentina, I'm _still_ gonna have to pretend to be Canadian, eh?

#2 We repudiate the disrespectful comments of Señor Stone and declare him persona non grata

#3
I feel the need to comment further:

I mean, come on, SERIOUSLY...

These guys are all about how much more they know and how much more sensitive they are about other cultures than the damn rednecks.

Nice try.

#4 Come to think about it... Oliver Stone is a media whore. That's about the same thing.

#5 I think the Andrew Lloyd Weber version kinda portrayed her as a hooker, too. "Another suitcase in another hall," etc. Prob'ly a lot better music than in the Ollie version.

#10 Andrew Lloyd Webber romanticized her, but whatever Eva Peron's love life, the Perons were a real disaster for Argentina. A commentator on another blog put it way better than me:

"If Obama is successful in implementing his policies the U.S.A. will become like Argentina after Peron. After the 2nd World war Argentina was the 4th richest country in the world then Peron came along with his social programs and it has been downhill ever since.This adulation of Obama gives me the creeps and is eerily similar to the devotion inspired by Eva Peron.
I have lived in Brazil for 25 years.The Salvador de Patria ( Saviour of the Country) phenomenon is very common in Latin America and I had always assumed it was a Latin characteristic. I never thought Id live to see it in an Anglo-Saxon country . Ive always thought that the Anglos would be far to sceptical and cynical to deposit their hopes in one person. Well you live and learn!"
