-“Well what do you know, another woman president; times sure are changing.” Marta said.
- “Yes I saw the front page of La Opinion, although it’s hard to take at face value claims to wage war on poverty from someone who injects collagen to plump her lips, and obviously has had cosmetic surgery. Then again, you can’t blame her. Did you know that the Argentine government subsidizes cosmetic surgery for its citizens, with the claim that it is a tool to raise self esteem? Just anyone unhappy with his or her nose, ears, whatever… can get cheap cosmetic work done. They also happen to have highly specialized cosmetic surgeons in Buenos Aires.” Maria said.

- “You’re kidding! I’d like to have that covered by my health insurance (giggles). But a little overhauling shouldn’t detract from the efficiency of the candidate.”

- “Well imagine if Hillary went all out and had major cosmetic surgery to look say 35 again. How serious would she be taken then? And the feminist movement would have a field day. Just look at the other chick Michelle Bachelet. She’s no nonsense, and attained power based solely on merit, not on whom she was married to. Her dad was tortured by the Augusto Pinochet regime, and died consequently due to heart failure. Michelle herself and her own mother were tortured too, and then dispatched into exile. That my dear, makes for an efficient leader, without relying on collagen."

- “Words dance in the wind, while emitting saliva. Most politicians are simply talk. Alberto Fujimori simply won re-election by giving away sacks of rice to the poorest and least educated sectors, now he’s on trial for abuse of human rights.

His predecessor claimed to fight corruption and went on gargantuan spending binges. I heard that Toledo prior to leaving his post, had 18 wheelers loaded late at night at the presidential palace, probably taking toilets and chandeliers as well, while leaving the economy in the shit hole.
Just ask any taxi driver there what they do. Most are engineers, professors, you name it. Most have to moonlight to keep up with the rise of inflation.
The only way to be effective in waging a war on poverty, will be to implement the english language as a mandatory study since elementary grade. This coupled with a strong emphasis on technology development. One can easily bet on corporate greed, on a global scale. If the masses are not prepared for the future… God help us.”

- “Still, why be so negative Maria, I’m really glad to see a woman in power. Do you think she would be taken seriously if she grew a mustache and didn't dye her hair? " Marta inquired.

- "It's not that Marta, it's just that this smells like the formula for a future Evita style operetta. Besides, people will want to believe what they want to believe. Did you see that picture of the image of The Virgin of Guadalupe which is claimed to have appeared in Chocolate form?
Come on! This image is being venerated, and someone claimed that her daughter was cured due to this image, and another woman is quoted as saying: "This is good excuse to buy more chocolate." Not to mention the great publicity and business generated for the chocolate manufacturer in O.C." (rolls eyes).

-"Well, it is good excuse to go see it and get some chocolate! What's it called?"
.
-"La Bodega Chocolate."

-"Thanks! Changing the subject, do you guys want to join me this weekend for a matinee to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with my kids too?” Marta enquired.

- “Not really, Marta. I heard today on NPR that part of its animation team was outsourced to south Asia, and this type of animation outsourcing seems projected to proliferate. It just bothered me a little bit. Like when I heard that Radio Flyer had to close its manufacturing plant in USA, and to stay competitive, they outsourced to China. Just kinda sucks.”
