Sin duda, el mejor resumen del panorama electoral extremeΓ±o que he visto hasta ahora.El primer pΓ‘rrafo por sΓ­ solo es oro.
Si hay un escenario mejor que el de Extremadura para demostrar lo tΓ³xico que es el funcionamiento de los partidos polΓ­ticos, lo desconozco.

Analysis: Fox News rebuke shows Trump’s attacks on First Amendment are hitting roadblocks | CNN Politics Despite the Trump administration’s growing efforts to target disfavored speech and media coverage, the First Amendment is showing growing signs of resilience.

'Conservatism' (and vicariously humanity and the planet ) can and only will be saved by conservatives (the real wooly ones with bushy eyebrows and who believd in right, wrong and truth) who take back the reins. Without the stepping forward, we're screwed.

Reading East West Street by Philippe Sands and can't help but draw parallels as his contemporaries said that Lemkin's warnings about the Reich and what they were planning were exaggerated.

On Borrowed Roads: Rediscovering Jasper - News "Returning to Jasper this summer, I found myself rerooting, as an Albertan who spent most of my adult life abroad." The palette beyond our engine was a blinding white. Not snow, not ...

I thought I was writing about Jasper β€” until an editor handed me a secret key, and I began writing to Jasper instead.

Returning to Jasper National Park changed how I see place, distance, and home.

Canada's Cowboy Calvinism and the Polyester Gospel It wasn’t the man himself that hit me first, but the hat, an obscene little crown of polyester tyranny, lopsided and ridiculous, perched on hair so white
