"EMPATHY? NO THANKS

Yesterday at noon taking a coffee Goya's Corner while reading the interview with Bruce Springsteen in The Weekly. Interesting. I've always liked the interviews that the journalist cares about the environment report in which it holds a meeting with the person on duty. He puts one in position. I do not know who was the pioneer but it certainly is a good format ...
few pages later, after the top ten of the best Christmas presents, I find the photo reportage of Jorge Lopez Barredo 'The children of Chernobyl. " "It's been 24 years" I think. "Wow, poor people" ...

And if not, that the guys involved in the program will go through Chernobyl to tell the thousands of children involved in their aftermath have served to advance the safety of nuclear plants and therefore for the good of all. Later
the presenter went on to mention that there has been a study showing that August is the most likely to UFO sightings, and then the news that recently discovered a new species of toothed slug in the nose of a Chilean girl. Yuck. And not because the slug ...
