No tengo ni palabras decentes para describir lo que paso el día de ayer. Trate de recordar todo el día, cuál de los candidatos a la Presidencia de los Estados Unidos halla sido invitado oficialmente por algún Presidente de México durante nuestra historia de diplomacia entre ambos países, las visitas oficiales si se encuentran resgistradas (1). Durante todos estos años, han ido varios representantes de visita, como Reagan a México cuando era precandidato al partido Republicano, siendo todavía Gobernador de California – y donde mi padre (Ariel Ramos Guzmán) lo conoció por primera vez, en el Aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México, donde solito esperaba su avión de regreso a casa. Pero nunca, bienvenidos OFICIALMENTE por alguna delegación del SRE (2) y menos por Presidente de la … [Read more...]

Being cleverer and more superior, women never get to experience the true joy of being a stupid … [Read more...]
