¡Romeu!

Feller with the chapeau: "It seems that some little bits of information are starting to come out regarding [the former catalan government demo-christian ruling party] CiU."
Feller without the chapeau: "Little bits were always coming out.

"The bad thing about bringing liberty to Iraq is that they use it to tell you to leave."


"This is where the universe ends."


"Zapatero won't govern if he gets one vote less than the PP. Chaves won't either. The barons and the top management support this fabulous match. And I, as a militant on the ground level, join with my fellow party members and I feel their pain."



¡Peridis!
