The article in Spanish was quoting the price in Argentinian pesos whose symbol is also the dollar sign. The conversion rate is currently AR$3.1 for US$1, so the price of a MacBook Air in Argentina is US$3,096, not US$9,600.

ex ped: I will add the AR$ and the US$ symbols, to make it clearer. Thanks.

And as noted, Hussein, the smoke came out of Fox News & the Bush Presidency, not the Clinton Presidency. So clearly you believe Bush purposely dispersed the story then.

Where there is smoke there is fire.

Clintons are trying to get back into the White House to finish what they didn't manage to get the first time around.

Hussein, you fell for a load of Rove propaganda. I'm sure it didn't get much coverage in Fox News, but all the claims about what the Clintons took with them, did to the plane, did to the computers in the White House, did to Air Force One… it was all investigated and the findings were that nothing at all happened. Nothing. It was all bull. Then they tried to find out where the stories came from, and guess what? Nobody in the White House ever admitted to saying any of it, and no real investigation was ever held. To non-Fox News America, THAT's the scandal in the story.

Scandalous?

Do you know what is scandalous?

I remember the Clintons making off with irreplaceable chinas from the China Room and other White House objects.

I’m not even going to mention what they did to AirForce One on their last trip in it.

Then again I will. They practically strip it bare; took everything inside that wasn’t bolted down.

my comment is that Eva Peron was never a president. She was the wife of a president and died at a very young age. The third wife of Peron, Isabel Martinez became president when her husband died.

ex ped: Right you are. I'll fix that. Thanks.
