M.A.G.A. Hats: Save 'Em-New Usage

        Well, dust off your MAGA hat Bunkie, we've found a new market for the old dust cover.  Yes, sir, right here in the old Western hemisphere.  Our South American orphan/stepchild/sad case,  Argentina, has elected new chief executives.  Rather, new/old executives.  Who might they be?  Christina Kirchner, the darling of the Old Peronists, has reinvented herself.  Now she's a Modern Peronist, dedicated to the populists who have been rediscovered in B.A. and its environs.  Now the Peronists have identity issues.  Nobody alive remembers Juan Peron or his partner, the well known Evita.  So, really, the only support of true Peronists comes from newly converted supporters of some fabricated ideology dedicated to....?.....?....?  the people, of course, I forgot.
      So, they want to make Argentina Great, again.  Let's make Argentina Great again----with hats!  A great publicity effort on the part of Peronists.  Her partner, Mr. Alberto Fernandez, a law professor who continued to teach during his campaign, has been in government for some years, serving as a minister of this and that.  So, he will commence the "new" reforms of the "old" economy, and make Argentina great, again.   Listen to the cheers, before, that is, the cheers turn to boos, and the voters, both of them, return to the streets to badger the executives who have no clues as to what a leader can do with this pathetic state.  Seems like the public debt has increased dramatically since 2015.  Who can forget the default of 2001?  It was only $100 billion.  And now what?  Kristina Kirchner is still under investigation for events during her last term as chief executive.  Will it be any different this time?  Don't hold your breath.  Her political opponents can be heard, sharpening their their stilettoes in the cantina.
      Maybe they'll sell the country to Trump.  If you see Rudy Giuliani board a plane for B.A., sell all your property in Patagonia, exchange your pesos,  and flee to Peru, or Chile, or Ecuador, or Brazil. In other words, get out of Dodge, Bunkie before the lights go out , again.
