Argentina: Secretary of national thought

Venezuela has a minister of Supreme Happiness; not to be outdone, Argentina appoints new secretary of ‘national thought’
Cristina Kirchner appoints ‘national thought’ secretary, promoting criticism of the fascist overtones of the post

Ricardo Forster, who was named to the post, said the idea was to “build networks among academics and intellectuals who are thinking about joint projects in Latin America”.

He said it had nothing to do with trying to inculcate “uniformity of thought”.

Of course not! (cough cough)

As a parting thought, Cristina’s face is starting to look like her Madame Tussaud’s wax figure was melting,
