While the people of Tombstone, Arizona, are waiting to get water back on line, the federal government is asking them for $80,000 in order to tell them why they cannot have it back unless they use only simple tools to do it with, like hand tools and wheelbarrows. Boulders the size of Volkswagens are trapping the waterlines, buried in some places under 12 ft of mud.

1. La Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos está presionando al gobierno estadounidense para que éste efectúe la “completa abolición” del embargo comercial y “elimine sistemáticamente” todas las restricciones actualmente existentes contra Cuba comunista. Los obispos alegan que con esos pasos unilaterales se beneficiaría sobre todo a los cubanos más “simples” y a los más “marginalizados”, se abriría el camino para una “mayor libertad”, inclusive religiosa, y se contribuiría a mejorar la situación de los “derechos humanos”.

By Carlos Alberto Montaner Sunday, April 22, 2012
(FIRMAS PRESS) España no tiene cómo lograr que los argentinos compensen adecuadamente a Repsol por la expropiación de la empresa. Es una batalla perdida. Los argentinos pagarán lo que les dé la gana y cuando les dé la gana. Hace una década declararon la suspensión de pagos de la deuda soberana, algo mucho más grave, y no pasó nada. Impunidad total. Borges opinaba que los peronistas no eran ni buenos ni malos. Eran incorregibles. Tenía razón. Este episodio lo demuestra.

The Contact
It was not the proverbial 3:00 a.m. phone call, but close enough. And it was not made to the White House, but to my house, which is not white, nor is it in DC. It was about 2:30 a.m. on 25 April 2012, and the call itself was somewhat unexpected. I had anticipated the telephone call from my DHS insider much earlier the previous day, but our schedules didn’t synch up. I was traveling on an investigative assignment, while my source was in meetings all day. I had just fallen asleep, and was slumbering no more than 20 minutes when the phone rang.
