Al menos diez activistas, miembros del Partido de la Revolucion Democratica (PRD), tomaron protesta como consules alternos el domingo, durante una breve ceremonia e inauguraron oficialmente el Consulado Alternativo de la Republica mexicana en Chicago, o Consulado Rebelde**, en las oficinas de la Coalicion Internacional de Mexicanos en el Exterior (CIME), 2700 W. 59 th St. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"El consulado legitimo podra realizar funciones que el Consulado oficial no ejerce", señalo Rene Magana, consul alterno*** legitimo, quien dijo que el organismo funcionara con donativos****. Encinas comento que la iniciativa es una forma de organizacion no convencional "que busca que la comunidad asuma la gestion de sus propios problemas y que cubre un vacio que no cubre el consulado"*****. En nombre del gobierno legitimo de AMLO, Encina los felicito y dijo que "espero que este sea un ejemplo que se replique en otras ciudades de Estados Unidos".&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* Se desconoce si obtuvieron la ratificación del Senado legítimo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;** Ser o parecer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;*** Se presume que ya se estampó la firma legítima en la Convención de Viena sobre Realciones Consulares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;**** Directo al fisco legítimo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;***** La soberanía reside en el pueblo... ¡y el pueblo reside en otro país!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-117013774380782182?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/117013774380782182/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=117013774380782182' title='2 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/117013774380782182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/117013774380782182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2007/02/consulado-legtimo-buena-vacilada.html' title='Consulado Legítimo [Buena Vacilada]'/><author><name>Roberto A.

Algo como lo que hace &lt;em&gt;Ferriz de Con&lt;/em&gt; pero con coco: la metodología consiste en responder a aseveraciones sensibles definiendo el grado de aceptación o rechazo, para después ponderar la totalidad de las respuestas y asignar una calificación de sabor tipológico. Las preguntas son tanto genéricas como específicas, pero suficientemente claras para no abrumar al interesado. Mi resultado conciso y verdadero fue &lt;em&gt;Enterpriser&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Se los recomiendo a todos, pues en lo último del ejercicio, resultará más didáctico que autocrítico, sobre todo para aquellos inquietos quienes gusten de responder de esos &lt;em&gt;tests&lt;/em&gt; que hacen recordar la clase de orientación vocacional.

Estas pequeñas publicaciones sufren un primer síntoma de corte fulminante: tener que retirar sus corresponsales en DC ya sea por la imposibilidad de ganar la nota, o bien, por lo caro que resulta un loft en Capitol Hill. Hoy ya nadie extraña las rondas por el obelisco que daba el reportero del &lt;a href="http://www.mercurynews.com"&gt;San Jose Mercury&lt;/a&gt;, o las del del(!) &lt;a href="http://www.statesman.com"&gt;Austin American-Statesman&lt;/a&gt; o incluso las de la guapa reportera del &lt;a href="http://www.ajc.com"&gt;Atlanta Journal-Constitution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Interesante ver que, en franca respuesta, el movimiento de publicaciones &lt;em&gt;no-alineadas&lt;/em&gt; encuentra retoños tan promisorios como &lt;a href="http://www.thepolitico.com"&gt;The Politico&lt;/a&gt;, una nueva suerte de diario 'conversado' enfocado solamente en comentar política doméstica con un estilo, según amenazan, muy muy particular. Esta iniciativa, nutrida por el talento de importantes desertores de los titanes mediáticos (Time, el Post, el Times, NPR, etc.), viene a complementar los múltiples enfoques casuales de la política (hoy fielmente representados por &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com"&gt;Slate&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://www.salon.com"&gt;Salon&lt;/a&gt;) que terminan por saturar y abrumar al cibernauta ávido de información fresca. Por lo que he escuchado entre quienes han seguido la exégesis de este proyecto, valdrá entonces la pena echarle una hojeada (¿u ojeada?) para ver y darnos cuenta que, tal como sucede en la demografía económica de la &lt;em&gt;zonaTEC&lt;/em&gt;, siempre hay lugar para otro OXXO.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-116849284694717761?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/116849284694717761/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=116849284694717761' title='4 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/116849284694717761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/116849284694717761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2007/01/poco-poco-observamos-la-forma-en-que.html' title=''/><author><name>Roberto A.

At the end of the war, opinion was predominantly collectivist. Socialism--defined as government ownership and operation of the means of production--was seen as both feasible and desirable. Those few of us who favored free markets and limited government were a beleaguered minority.&lt;br /&gt;In subsequent decades opinion moved away from collectivism and toward a belief in free markets and limited government. By 1980 opinion had moved enough to enable Ronald Reagan to win the presidency on a quasi-libertarian agenda.&lt;br /&gt;The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 delivered the final blow to the belief in socialism. Hardly anyone today, from the far left to the far right, regards socialism in the traditional sense of government ownership and operation of the means of production as either feasible or desirable. Those who profess socialism today mean by it a welfare state".&lt;/em&gt; -- fragmento de "&lt;strong&gt;The Battle's Half Won&lt;/strong&gt;", publicado en &lt;em&gt;The Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt;.

Ask reformers in any one of the countries behind what we used to call the Iron Curtain where they learned to contemplate alternatives to communism during the closed era before the Berlin Wall fell and they will often tell you about reading Milton Friedman and realizing how different their world could be."&lt;/em&gt; -- fragmento de "&lt;strong&gt;The Great Liberator&lt;/strong&gt;", publicado en &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt;.

Cuenta la anécdota que mientras un ministro mexicano asignado a la Embajada en Seúl hacía una visita de costumbre al Embajador cubano al norte del paralelo 38°, este último encendió su radio a todo volumen para hablar al oído del diplomático mexicano. Trascendió que lo único que pronunció fue "&lt;em&gt;es que estos sí son comunistas, chico&lt;/em&gt;". Inmediatamente después se reinstaló en su silla, apagó el sonoro aparato y gallardamente continuó bebiendo su té.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy esos comunistas ya tienen &lt;em&gt;la bomba&lt;/em&gt;. Aunque ya anteriormente había hecho &lt;a href="http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/06/desde-la-cebolla.html"&gt;alusión&lt;/a&gt; al carismático jodón norcoreano, el tema ahora recobra vividez. Sobre todo porque representa un triple fracaso de la diplomacia china: primero por haberle prometido a la maquinaria estadounidense resultados contrarios; segundo, un fracaso también porque a la China comunista no le interesa tener otra potencia nuclear en sus fronteras que pudiera desestabilizar la región; y tercero, porque NoKo representa el destino más importante al que va dirigida la ayuda &lt;em&gt;humanitaria&lt;/em&gt; china en el exterior {aplica la lógica del hijo malcriado}.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo extraño del asunto es que esta revelación de NoKo como potencia nuclear se da de una forma muy peculiar: anunciar sus intenciones tiempo antes de realizarlas. Como si estuviera regateando algo pretenciosamente, o intentando dividir a las partes negociadoras, o bien, vilmente acaparando titulares (beneficiando a los republicanos pues termina marginando el tema de Iraq/Florey en la agenda preelectoral estaodunidense). Todo esto muy distinto a los métodos empleados por India y Paquistán en los noventa. Para quienes no han leído la &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6134813,00.html"&gt;nota&lt;/a&gt; redactada por la agencia de noticias oficial norcoreana, aquí les paso un fragmento que suena a guerra fría:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The field of scientific research in the DPRK successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions on October 9, 2006, at a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great, prosperous, powerful socialist nation".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-116043877899099901?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/116043877899099901/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=116043877899099901' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/116043877899099901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/116043877899099901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/10/qu-non-proliferation-ni-qu-la-chin.html' title='Qué Non-Proliferation ni qué la chin...'/><author><name>Roberto A.

Tengo medio costal de ellas en mi cocina, de esas que todavía traen la hojita. De manzana también son los electrolitos que desayuno los domingos.

Es la primera vez que sucede tal evento. La infraestructura de su noble changarro consistía en una silla plegadiza &lt;em&gt;á-la-walmart&lt;/em&gt; y unos cuantos six-packs de refresco barato enfriados con hielo sucio en un cajón de plástico de esos que se usan para almacenar múltiples chingaderas. El señor estuvo ahí sentado, con el sol de frente, durante aproximadamente seis horas, el tiempo de mayor concurrencia de paisanos. Su siniestra presencia sacudió la cotidianeidad de la plantilla consular, promoviendo innumerables porqués. En cuestión de minutos el tema había sido enterrado entre bostezos sabor &lt;em&gt;thai&lt;/em&gt;, hasta que una voz poco sensata se acercó desde el último cubículo para apostarnos a todos que ese "&lt;em&gt;pinche negro es seguramente de la DEA, y sólo estuvo observando que no se acercara ningún pezgordo que pensara salir cuanto antes del país... ya ven que acaban de capturar al tigrillo&lt;/em&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Momentos después de haber terminado la hora de atención al público, esperó escasos treinta minutos más y después se puso de pie. No vendió nada. Hizo una llamada en su celular y en un santiamén llegó por el una camioneta oscura de rines negros y tres antenas.

El pique podría transcribirse así: tú me quitas dos, yo te quito uno (por ahora) y ya veremos qué pasa. Seix Barral coloca en el mercado dos previsibles éxitos de ventas: El viento de la Luna, la última novela de &lt;strong&gt;Antonio Muñoz Molina&lt;/strong&gt; (en septiembre), y Laura y Julio, de &lt;strong&gt;Juan José Millás&lt;/strong&gt; (en octubre), dos autores que ya se habían distanciado de Alfaguara y habían publicado algunos de sus últimos libros en otras editoriales. Alfaguara, por su parte, inicia un mes de septiembre abundantemente hispanoamericano (un libro de relatos del mexicano &lt;strong&gt;Carlos Fuentes&lt;/strong&gt; y reediciones del chileno &lt;strong&gt;Jorge Edwards&lt;/strong&gt;, el peruano &lt;strong&gt;Vargas Llosa&lt;/strong&gt;, la colombiana &lt;strong&gt;Laura Restrepo&lt;/strong&gt;, etcétera) con No será la tierra, la última novela de &lt;strong&gt;Jorge Volpi*&lt;/strong&gt;, el brillante novelista mexicano, anteriormente vinculado a Seix Barral (fue Premio Biblioteca Breve en 1999 por Historia de Klingsor). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*Por cierto, &lt;strong&gt;Volpi&lt;/strong&gt; se ha convertido en el nuevo titular de la sección «críticas ejemplares» de un interesante &lt;a href="www.elboomeran.com"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; de la oficina del autor (grupo Santillana) y el cual ya nos había sido &lt;a href="http://www.patricio00.com/post/2006/06/blogsel-pas.html"&gt;recomendado&lt;/a&gt; anteriormente por Patricio.

Por ser cuatro de julio, el show se lo llevaron los elegidos para el &lt;em&gt;Juego de las Estrellas&lt;/em&gt; de las &lt;a href="http://www.mlb.com"&gt;Ligas Mayores&lt;/a&gt;, el lanzamiento del &lt;em&gt;Discovery&lt;/em&gt; y los juguetitos de &lt;em&gt;Kimmy Neutrón&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;En cuanto a la principal cadena hispana -la vendida, extrañamente se limitó a cubrir con breves y amarillistas cortes informativos cada hora {lo cual exhibe a Jorge Ramos como un periodista de poco peso en la agenda de Univisión}. En la cobertura de su rival Telemundo, se notó la mano gringa de su dueño &lt;em&gt;NBC News&lt;/em&gt;, pues sólo se limitaban a &lt;em&gt;analizar&lt;/em&gt; -también en pocos segundos- el impacto de las elecciones en el fenómeno migratorio. La prensa escrita, día con día, sólo menciona que aún no hay ganador, y pues, el proceso de conteos y reconteos es taaaaaan complicado de explicar -y más en inglés, que termina aburriendo y mareando al morboso lector {no vende}. Tan sólo uno que otro artículo del &lt;em&gt;NY Times,&lt;/em&gt; del &lt;em&gt;LA Times&lt;/em&gt; y del &lt;em&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt; han intentado matizar el monocromatismo. De buenas que uno puede echar mano del &lt;a href="http://www.elnorte.com"&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt; para seguir el proceso &lt;em&gt;on demand&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Quizá todo eso se pueda entender si consideramos que si los mexicanos acá tuvieron tan poquito interés en votar {sólo uno de cada cien se animó al sufragio remoto}, igual o menor será el interés en el desenlace de la película. Vaya falacia, pues a nadie emociona no tener un ganador cuando se supone que lo habría; al contrario, apergata. Empero, respetando proporciones, nuestro voto remoto total {33000+} terminó siendo más valioso de lo que se supuso: 58% votamos por Felipe Calderón, un poco más del 20% lo hizo por Andrés López y el resto por la chiquillada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDENDUM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el Campus Ciudad de México del &lt;a href="http://www.itesm.mx"&gt;ITESM&lt;/a&gt; se escrutaron los votos provenientes de alrededor de ochenta países de los cinco continentes. Tan sólo tres de esos votos se remitieron desde &lt;strong&gt;Cuba&lt;/strong&gt;, conviertiéndose quizá en los únicos sufragios intrínsecamente libres jamás emitidos en la isla de las mil cárceles durante la longeva revolución barbada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7609/524/400/coverage2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-115216388057707999?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/115216388057707999/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=115216388057707999' title='6 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/115216388057707999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/115216388057707999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/07/voto-remoto.html' title='Voto Remoto'/><author><name>Roberto A.

Lo mismo había sucedido antes con National Geographic. Ante esto, el consejo editorial ha respondido a tambor batiente: "&lt;em&gt;We've used 'the Gulf' for a long time, and we have no intention of changing it at the moment&lt;/em&gt;".

"&lt;em&gt;Certainly the fates smile with a benevolent countenance upon myself, the most Exalted Supreme Leader-For-Life of the great nation of Korea!&lt;/em&gt;" said Kim, who acts as Chairman of the National Democratic Council, Commander of the National Defense Commission, Supreme Director of the North Korean Powerball and MegaMillions Lotteries, and General Secretary of the Worker's Party of Korea.

Llevado por la curiosidad y el &lt;em&gt;sobrestrees&lt;/em&gt;, secuestré algunos minutos de mi valioso tiempo para hojearla y escanearla, y confirmar así mi sospecha: no vale la lectura. Sin embargo, una sección sí llamó mi atención y sin escatimar, ganó mi aplauso a la creatividad fumada: &lt;em&gt;Ask an Excon&lt;/em&gt;. Por medio de esta columna (todo un fruto de la virtuosidad del público meta) el &lt;em&gt;verdadero&lt;/em&gt; ex-convicto Max Smith ilustra -con auténtica actitud de hijo de la chingada y utilizando un vocabulario muy &lt;em&gt;ad hoc&lt;/em&gt;- ese inframundo que los atentos lectores saben que algún día conocerán en carne viva, respondiendo a interpelaciones como "&lt;em&gt;What's an average day like?... Do they give out pills in prison?... When was the first time you went to jail?&lt;/em&gt;". Les paso estas breves cápsulas para que se iluminen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"In the evening, you can go to the day room and play cards (gamble) or sit around and bullshit with cats you don't see often, use the phone, sell drugs, whatever ... then the place locks down at 9:00pm, and you are counted again ... then you are stuck in the cell watching Sportscenter, twiddiling your nuts until you wake up the next morning to start another wonderful day in paradise"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Anyway, we find ourselves a nice sunny park on the river to kick back and eat this awesome substance that is Dramamine, which are motion sickness pills by the way. The story was that if you eat 10, 15 of these things, you get wasted. We figured 36, a whole box, would probably do the job a little better. Dramamine is nasty, nasty, nasty. These pills tasted like a whore’s asshole after a gang bang. It still makes me gag to think about it. Now keep in mind that we now have been sleepless for three or four days and have been snortin’ and smokin’ to our hearts content. We got so fuckin’ completely fuckin’ amazingly fucked I completely lost the next two days in my memory, literally. You’ve all, I’m sure, been blacked out once or twice, and the next day people will remind you of shit and you’ll kind of remember parts of it, but not all of it. I don’t remember any of the rest of the story. Its all from police reports and what JC and JS have told me. I ended up going to jail."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ADDENDUM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay otra sección titulada &lt;em&gt;Rustle's Way to Get Wasted&lt;/em&gt;, promoviendo recetas genuinas del buen Rustle para preparar bebidas alevosamente cargadotas. El fundamento y la justificación del despliegue creativo de las recetas son también de llamar la atención. Les paso este fragmento del número de junio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"One of my favorite drinks in the wee early hours of the morning is the classic&lt;/em&gt; White Russian&lt;em&gt;. So I got to thinking one morning, about when I was a child and really loved eating cereal. So I thought to myself,&lt;/em&gt; “Fuck!” &lt;em&gt;“Wouldn’t it be awesome to have cereal in an alcoholic beverage?” So I immediately left my morning bar stool and ran down to&lt;/em&gt; 7-Eleven &lt;em&gt;and got the greatest cereal known to man:&lt;/em&gt; Cocoa Pebbles&lt;em&gt;. I ran back to the bar, sprinkled those bad-girls on top of my White Russian and low and behold, the&lt;/em&gt; Flintstone&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Flintstone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1 oz. stoli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2oz. kahlua&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Float with half and half.

Aunque la naturaleza psicosocial de la demanda me parece puramente acorde, la campaña en su primer paso encuentra ese correcto maridaje entre la denuncia, la proacción y la proyección (ampliamente recomendable para toda sociedad civil).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-114922951409723279?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/114922951409723279/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=114922951409723279' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114922951409723279'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114922951409723279'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/05/porqueriotas.html' title='Porqueriotas'/><author><name>Roberto A.

En particular, me corroe la explicación de la Sra. Bermúdez: "&lt;em&gt;Es un gran esfuerzo que refleja el centralismo mexicano&lt;/em&gt;". Sí, claro, otro pastelazo al pacto federal y a la Constitución Política misma. Mientras el resto de las bibliotecas públicas se caen de viejas y vacías {triste ejemplo la Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, en la &lt;em&gt;Ciudad del Conocimiento&lt;/em&gt;}, se celebra y aplaude el centralismo con este nuevo monumento suntuario. Dicho sea de paso, tampoco concuerdo con las declaraciones del &lt;em&gt;metrosexual&lt;/em&gt; Monsiváis. Eso sí, les recomiendo que echen un &lt;a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/local/library/"&gt;vistazo&lt;/a&gt; a la biblioteca pública de Seattle: una joya arquitectónica y dueña de tantos libros para hacer vomitar a la José Vasconcelos..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7609/524/1600/spl2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7609/524/400/spl2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7609/524/1600/spl1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7609/524/400/spl1.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-114870774940507033?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/114870774940507033/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=114870774940507033' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114870774940507033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114870774940507033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/05/megabiblioteca.html' title='Megabiblioteca'/><author><name>Roberto A.

De él, sólo he leido &lt;em&gt;Las Venas..&lt;/em&gt; y fue a propósito de su manejo del tema del azúcar, que efectivamente terminó siendo un poco más entretenido que un panfleto sobre los riesgos de la diabetes.&lt;br /&gt;Entiéndase que el diálogo de anoche se dio -ultraverticalmente- ante un ambiente estudiantil {97% siendo pandrosines altermundistas} en unos de los anfiteatros más importantes de la &lt;a href="http://www.washington.edu"&gt;UW&lt;/a&gt;. Como si fuera el célebre &lt;em&gt;Auditorio Ho Chi Minh&lt;/em&gt; en tiempos de Rangel Frías, sobresalió la amplia disposición del público a acoger -con morboso beneplácito- la bola de insultos y palabrerías del &lt;em&gt;autor&lt;/em&gt; en contra de la administración &lt;em&gt;republicana&lt;/em&gt; que sobrevivimos actualmente. Mucha hilaridad pero poca novedad: el ponente despreció tajantemente las instituciones modelo y en consecuenta, le fue tributada una ola de aplausos y reverencias de parte de tooooodas las oyentes que asomaban tangas fritas. En la sesión de preguntas, un solo punto galeanista no pudo ser cuestionado, todo alabado. Y pa' colmo: &lt;em&gt;'Si no entienden bien mi inglés, compren mis libros'&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Pero bueno, no obstante la pena ajena, sí absorbo una frase que me pareció aceptablemente incendiaria y contumática: "&lt;em&gt;Nunca te escupas al espejo&lt;/em&gt;". Implicada reflexión ahora que ya es temporada de guardar suéteres, bufandas, chamarras y brasieres.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-114792585621013723?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/114792585621013723/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=114792585621013723' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114792585621013723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114792585621013723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/05/galeano-rockstar-metrosexual.html' title='Galeano rockstar, metrosexual.'/><author><name>Roberto A.

Ergo, siempre consideré al &lt;em&gt;Cirque du Soleil&lt;/em&gt; otro aburrido espectáculo segundón de los franchutes, al grado de negarme a asistir gratis al &lt;em&gt;Zumanity&lt;/em&gt;. Estando acá y privilegiado por la personalidad jurídica y sociopolítica de la institución que me emplea, me definí por no desauciar la invitación a la inauguración VIP que me fue amablemente extendida. He de aceptar que el criterio por el cual acepté no fue mi afición por las acrobacias ni por la fantasía hecha circo; &lt;em&gt;in contrari sensu&lt;/em&gt;, me subí al vehículo más bien empujado por una seductora nota colocada estratégicamente al pie del cordial cartoncillo, la cual rezaba: &lt;em&gt;please join our lounge set afterwards :: cocktails and delicatessen fully served&lt;/em&gt;. En adición, el co-patrocinio de &lt;em&gt;Bombay Sapphire&lt;/em&gt; y &lt;em&gt;Heineken&lt;/em&gt; fue otro detalle alentador.&lt;br /&gt;Así, con el "Jes&lt;em&gt;ús, que ya se termine esto&lt;/em&gt;" en la boca, gocé del show: increíble. No fue el grado de dificultad de las acrobacias sino la creatividad con la que se las inventaron. A pesar de algunos números netamente aburridos, la personificación de Ícaro, la aparición del malabarista camboyano y las payasadas de un pendejo valieron la espera. En general, las caracterizaciones y la escenografía fue también de primer nivel. Igual de sorprendente fue saber, primero, que había menos de cinco franceses en el reparto de más de cincuenta mugrosos, y segundo, que fue una producción mayormente &lt;em&gt;quebecquá&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Después de dos horas y media, era tiempo de dirigirme a la fuente de la vida. Seguía mi número, mis acrobacias más genuinas y más refinadas: meterme amablemente en la fila de la barra, traducir al inglés la explicación anterior, sostener dos tragos en cada mano, balbucear en francés, apelar a la &lt;em&gt;bartende&lt;/em&gt;r por su nombre, explicar mi vestuario, alabar la decoración de la minicarpa, presumir que no fumo, intercambiar un guiño por un RedBull, apuntar numeritos y, finalmente, la más aplaudida de todas: escabullirme semiebrio conduciendo -al margen de la ley- en una de las cinco autopistas más importantes de la Unión Americana.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8029952-114706359171473304?l=xvarez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/feeds/114706359171473304/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8029952&amp;postID=114706359171473304' title='4 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114706359171473304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8029952/posts/default/114706359171473304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xvarez.blogspot.com/2006/05/varequ.html' title='¿Vare..qué?'/><author><name>Roberto A.

He tenido un gran viaje que implicó regresar dos veces: una pa'llá y otra pa'cá. Seattle me recibe con una imponente marcha pro-migrantes de 130,000 brazos de sol; con la oportuna reflexión sobre la bendita diplomacia mexicana; con una fatídica reunión/fiesta del &lt;em&gt;Cinco de Mayo;&lt;/em&gt; con un cangrejote cocido y filetes de bacalao entre mi tórax y el Pacífico; con la inauguración del nuevo -y majestuoso- espectáculo del Cirque du Soleil, &lt;em&gt;Varekai&lt;/em&gt;; con el excitante coqueteo del &lt;em&gt;Mundial&lt;/em&gt;; con un diálogo con(tra) dos próceres del populismo trasnochado: Elena Puñetowska y Eduardo Galeano; con una temporada que comienza nublada para los Marineros; con la nueva publicidad de Tecate-USA; con el arrollador concierto de &lt;em&gt;RBD&lt;/em&gt; {&lt;em&gt;yeah right&lt;/em&gt;}; y con mi boleta de votación para mexicanos residentes en el extranjero. Pero también con crepúsculos más largos que introducen un sol que brilla como tenía meses de no hacerlo en estos paralelos. Y ahorita la mente llena de buenos recuerdos, con un breve espacio para proyectar un nuevo viaje al centro de mi tierra.
