You see, one of his characteristics is that he is extremely well educated and would like to display this in full measure. Phrases like mutatis mutandis, mens rea, mandamus, habeas corpus and locus standi litter his legal documents.<br /><br />Yes, never thought I would praise Madam Kirchner for anything economic. Truly, it has been one of the worst governed countries for a long while.

I tell ya, Cristina Kirchner has not been so favorably reviewed by commentators since, well, never!<br /><br />This FP piece sub-title says it all about where the author's sympathies lie: "you would have done the same thing too, if you had been in their shoes" (http://t.co/mQy5eJaADE)<br /><br />Ken Rogoff writes, "Argentina has defaulted on seven previous occasions – in 1827, 1890, 1951, 1956, 1982, 1989, and 2001" (http://t.co/5UFOHHXel2) ... OMG! As I have often expressed in my blogging, Argentina is one awful case of promise and potential completely wasted away. It makes countries like India seem like super-champions!<br /><br />But, seriously, Ramamritham and "parri passu"??? hehehe ;)<br />btw, I had to google that phrase to refresh my memory ... thanks for that Latin exercise for my brain. Did your class in JHSS also read an essay by Winston Churchill on his Latin exercises as a schoolboy? It was an awesome essay. Maybe I should track it down on the web and re-read his hilarious and sarcastic frustration at "mensa, mensae, mensam ..."Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.com
