Really few time these days. Vargas Llosa, interviewed:
I do not agree with the perception that Menem's policies were ultra-liberal. They were not. They were a smoke screen for a huge corruption and an influence traffic, which naturally shed very negative results. And the frustration took Argentineans to change from the Menemist demagogy to the Kirchnean demagogy. I am afraid the results will be equally catastrophic.
A curious opinion, but totally understandable coming from the right winged writer Mario Vargas Llosa, who lost the presidence of Peru confronting the Japanese Fujimori.

Short story in the Washington Post: George Soros is giving a lot of money to oust Bush:
Asked whether he would trade his $7 billion fortune to unseat Bush, Soros opened his mouth. Then he closed it. The proposal hung in the air: Would he become poor to beat Bush?
He said, "If someone guaranteed it."
