[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Torpe. Otra vez.

[Jim White]

Thanks.
See my diatribe from yesterday in response to this.
Sorry for the confusion or translation.  I live in a bilingual area, am 
bilingual myself, have bilingual children and am a gringo married into a 
Hispanic family. We speak as much Spanish as English in our house.
Gracias por su ayudar pero aqui en este lugar, la lengua es siempre 
differente desde el diccionario. Creo ustedes chiando (from the verb Chiar) 
mucho a sobre nada.

Cheers,
BTW another "Ch" word: Chancla = Flip-Flop (as in sandal, not Kerry).
