Good news everyone! Egyptians have (once again) taken to Tahrir square by the millions, and, aided by the military, deposed a sitting president. What is the appropriate reaction here? Is it: a) indifference, because we are ethnocentric Americans who cannot even find Egypt on a map.
The WSJ is pro-Pinochet? Geeze, I thought they'd be a bit on the down low on that. You don't find much pro-Pinochet sentiment anywhere these days -- except on the pages of the WSJ. What a sordid thing to be associated with.
The proper way to phrase that is "the rich douchebags in this country consider that they would make more money if you didn' have the freedom to vote, redress your grievances, peacefully assemble, etc."
And with shameless pricks like Scott Walker doing their bidding, they're out to solve the problem.

Of course not. Money is much more important than mere human beings.
So, what you&#039;re saying is that the WSJ editorial staff needs to read some Isabel Allende novels.
Apparently the Wall Street Journal now will say anything to troll more page views.

Those bound in Chilean bonds, not so much.
