Lula’s back — 8 Comments

  1. In the first block quote from CNN, please insert a “[sic]” after “lead” which should of course be “led”.

  2. Thanks for that, Neo! My new German Shepherd puppy dropped her bone, sat up and did the GSD ‘head tilt’ all the way through the horn section. LOL.
    If I had five grand to burn I would install an autoplay system on my baby grand. The first time I heard one was Fats Waller playing ‘Handful of Keys’. Sold!

  3. I am in a comitted relationship with a Brazilian woman, and I asked her how anyone could tolerate Lula. If you watch him in debates, his demeanor comes across as ornery and unlikeable. My girlfriend says he is elected because of his promised expansion in entitlement programs, which may not come to fruition because the congress and the three most powerful states, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janiero are largely controlled by conservatives. It is interesting seeing the parallels, my girlfriend voted for Bolsonaro not because she likes him, but he was the lesser of two evils. The same reason I voted for Donald Trump twice. It is like looking through a warped mirror. The most astonishing difference is that Sao Paulo votes with the conservatives, while the largely rural north votes with the communists. It makes sense in a way. My girlfriend and her family resent the redistribution of money from Sao Paulo to the other states – they have said that Sao Paulo keeps the entire welfare system afloat.
