This could happen only in Argentina, a loose federal state where power often trickles up from the provinces. At independence in 1810, rural landowning strongmen, or caudillos, resisted control from Buenos Aires. Their successors still boss the 23 provinces as semi-sovereign fiefdoms, and often push the central government as well. Argentina defaulted on $141 billion in debt this December, triggering deadly riots that would see Argentina ruled by five presidents in two weeks....

Some years aren’t as good; the spotlights get dimmer, the chagrin of your opponents gets louder and louder still is the voice of your own inner conflict, of whether you are good enough to wear the weather, to get on with the grind, survive, sustain and if luck would have it, collect a payday. Venus Williams has seen them all, the good years and the bad years. The five time Wimbledon Champion, twice winner of US Open and an Olympic Gold medallist was almost lost to the world of tennis, fidgeting around nervously for half a decade now, winning little, mostly through pain brought on by illness and the well-known antagonist in every sport – age....

Speculation is rife in 2019 with rumors swirling of a potential WWE return. However, the question of whether Punk will ever make a comeback to pro-wrestling remains unanswered. What can be declared with certainty, moreover is that the reason fans have such a fondness for Punk, a half-decade after he left wrestling, is the brilliant performances he is remembered for. Punk became the hottest star in wrestling during the “Summer of Punk” in 2011 after he cut a worked shoot promo that set the wrestling world alight on the June 27, 2011 episode of Raw....

Any loan can be rethought. Those who refinanced their mortgages last year might find that it pays to try again. Also, take a look at your auto loan; your bank might rewrite it at 8 percent. With the money you save in monthly payments, slash your credit-card debt or build a bigger bank account. Savings interest rates are so low that a cash cache won’t grow by very much unless you put more money in....

Of course, this is also the biggest drawback and flaw to this system. Every movie in the MCU is starting to feel the same because they all need to feel like they fit within the same universe. Characters are often shoehorned into various stories just to create a crossover or add a bit of shock value to a post-credits scene. In trying to create a cohesive universe, the MCU may have gone too far in that direction and made it so that every movie feels less and less like its own thing....

It is known in the Sailor Moon fandom as Saban Moon and was set to be one-half live-action, one-half animation, and all kinds of Americanized oddness that made it extremely different from the series we all know and love today. Why Was Saban Moon Pitched? Localizations of anime in the 90s were particularly notorious for censorship and strange choices. Many fans particularly remember how rice balls were called jelly donuts in the original Pokemon anime dub....

The Black Phone has a bit of a supernatural bent, as the main character, Finney (Mason Thames), is taken and spends time in a horrible basement, getting phone calls from the ghosts of previous victims. While the film is well-crafted and it’s a great adaptation, there is something missing in the portrayal of The Grabber that is ultimately a bit disappointing.

In one day, they lost it all. In the new, Republican-led Congress, blacks will chair no committees, and have virtually no influence with the House leadership. Proposals vehemently opposed by the black caucus – such as austere welfare reform – now seem certain to pass. Antigovernment conservatives control the key spending committees. The District of Columbia committee will be abolished, and D.C. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton will lose her limited voting rights....

Just as Americans get used to paying $1.70 for gasoline there comes a new reason to rage: electric prices are on a vertical spike. In New York, the average bill jumped from $52 to $74 last month. California, caught in a heat wave and lacking adequate power plants, has it the worst. In Orange County, utilities have asked schools to cancel classes and warned neighborhoods they may face blackouts. In San Diego, police and fire stations may have to go dark....

As a result of both heavily hyped events occurring in the same week, the nation may now be facing a serious has-been shortage for the first time in its history. “People thought that our supply of has-beens from such old TV series as ‘The Brady Bunch’ and ‘The Partridge Family’ would last forever,” says Professor David Bagwell of the University of Missouri. “We’re now learning that this is most definitely not the case....

“Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen various names floated for president of Iraq, and I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s not a dinar’s worth of difference between them,” Mr. Nader said at his first Baghdad press conference. “As I cross this great land of theirs, I sense that the Iraqi people want Ralph Nader in this race.” But even as Mr. Nader spoke in glowing terms of his quixotic bid, prominent Sunnis and Shiites excoriated his decision, calling the candidate a “spoiler” and demanding that he quit the race at once....

“There are those in the world who would replace freedom and democracy with gay marriages,” Mr. Bush said in his speech from the White House. “This will not stand.” Mr. Bush’s speech coincided with news from the Pentagon that the United States was launching a spring offensive, Operation Pink Storm, to root out gay brides and bridegrooms hiding in the mountainous region on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan....

Speakig on condition of anonymity, the source said that when he first heard about the Simpson-CIA connection, “I found it hard to believe, since she seems like the kind of person who would have difficulty peeling a banana.” The blond-tressed songbird achieved a kind of international renown for her boneheaded behavior on the MTV series “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” in which, among other things, she demonstrated genuine confusion over why tuna would be packaged in a can labeled “Chicken of the Sea....
