You said it for me, Torres. I agree. It's good to see Quico's writing stripped of the "Aren't I cool?" embellishments to the language. In decades past, the style used to be called sophomoric; now, I think it's called blogomoric. Note to Quico: I know I'm just one reader. You don't have to cater to me. But please, keep up your present style. Many thanks and hugs and k's.
lovely, subdued colours. Thanks for the inspiration. But, why no window frame?
Well stated strategy of possibilities, Roy. Who would be the first popular periodical to publish a photo-of-the-week series, entitled, say, "Así progresamos"? Or, "Fruto del buen manejo", notwithstanding the double-entendre.
P.S. Thank you, JC, for the breath of fresh air.
Valued comments, it would seem, GTAC. However, I find it contradictory that you would say AUP missed his calling ("calling was political") when the political process, especially in Venezuela (one would argue in all places) revolted him. In fact, and I speak with far less information on the man than you have, I don't find that AUPs achievements contradict his essence as a mature, calm and rational intellectual. Perhaps the ones that debase AUPs direction have a wish-fulfillment that AUP never gratified for them. Tant pis pour eux.
Qué bonita coherencia, la de AUP. Sin pantallerismo, sin narcisismo. Pura buena escuela. Good background sets, too: simple and dramatic without glitz. What a contrast to so many bullshitters in the general media who expound but don't believe in what they're expounding upon, and/or don't have the specific training in the subject on which they gas up like helium balloons in order to gain centre stage. It's that narcissism, that 'pantallerismo', compounded with the decline in 'urbanidades' and 'caballerismo', that has been a hallmark of the petrostate, I think, even before Chávez. Qué lástima.
Interesting little twist yours, John. Sending troops to the border, as Chavez wants to do and has declared, while reportedly getting ready for war is hardly the sanitized version you've attributed to the action when you stated "Moving troops within your own territory." You must think people are stupid.
Wrong body of water, John. It's El Guaire that you want.
Vendepatria? Talk about an indirect ad hominem from the *saint* who points them out in others.
Are those the only criticisms you have of Chávez? That's all?
