Peace is Patriotic

A friend of mine once told me ¨You just watch too many news¨as she was stomping her right foot, that was correct and I was the first to admit it. Things are a little different around here, as Telenovelas dominate the airwaves in the evening and news coverage is more concentrated early in the morning, when I am on the move. Nevertheless as I saw a clip of George W on the Internet or Internets as he says, I had to follow up. For all you guys who did not see it, here is a brief unbiased transcript;

- Welcome Mr President , ¨Yes Welcome je je...!!¨- Mr President there are a few months left in your presidency, what are your thoughts? ..... (He pauses) ¨Oh yes, That we have kept this country safe from evil¨ - Mr President do you feel that you have accomplished your mission? ¨We have these terrorist that want to do us harm, these are bad people you know...¨

- Have you been successful? "We are the only ones that can keep America safe from these extremist, these are bad people¨ - How long can this go on? ¨Are you talking to me ?¨¨Oh I thought John Mc was here......¨Its tough to say, these are evil¨ - Mr President our sacrifices are enormous in lives and resources....... ¨Let me interrupt you. We are the only ones that can handle this danger to America¨,¨Let me put this in a different way.... There is danger from evil people to this country¨
Uh..Ok..Mr President do you believe that this will he handled by the next president? ¨Only Republicans can handle these evil, mean, dangerous, bad and ugly people¨ - The influence of the US in the world has diminished and our reputation tarnished, why is this? ¨I don't want to scare people but we are dealing with dangerous and evil villains......¨

- Let me change the subject Mr President.... How do you see oil prices affecting our way of life? ¨I am glad you ask that question.... There is a permanent danger to this country, we have to deal day by day with people that want to harm us, don't you see the real danger?¨ ¨I see it everyday¨

- Your approval rating is way down and it may not help the Republican candidate...... ¨People do not understand and people do not know of all these very, very dangerous evil people¨ ¨Like that bicycle over there, that is a dangerous vehicle in the hands of bad people¨


-You know Mr President that even in remote places they think you are an idiot......
¨What do you mean ?... How remote?¨ - Well lets say Santiago de......
¨I been to San Diego¨ - No Mr President this is Santiago de..... ¨Wait a minute.. I been to San Fran, I been with Dick to San Anton you know, and San Diego, Did I just say that?¨
- No, this is Santiago de Veraguas, Panama, Mr President

¨Let me see.. No, I have not been to San Tiago¨

Oye que vaina esos pelados en la guerra, ofi mopri, que huevazon .......

La linea Moquegua

Encontrando archivos de aquí y de allá. Ángel Gasco el Italiano de Moquegua tiene como apellido materno Ghersi. Esto se obtiene de las notas en Familia Ghersi del Perú. (Todavia pendiente encontrar Partida de Nacimiento o Matrimonio). Ellos continúan que Bernardo Ghersi  trajo a los sobrinos   Ángel Gasco Ghersi, Angel Ghersi Saettone, Angel  Ghersi Bruno, Agustin Rosello Ghersi, Benito Rosello Ghersi, Rafael  Rosello Ghersi, todos procedente de Albisola provincia de Savona,y arribaron al puerto de Ilo, Moquegua.

Repulgue ...

I had never heard of this word or its use. The following info comes from  ...http://www.seashellsandsunflowers.blogspot.com/ The repulgue is the edge of the empanada . Much like an edge of a pie crust, the repulgue helps hold the empanada together. In Argentina, it also helps distinguish between different empanada flavors thus a means to ID the product.  In hand made operations the beef empanada will always have the same edge style, and many shops will provide a diagram showing the various repulgues and their corresponding fillings.   

Y eso? No, no ...no !! Como va se' ?

Después del pedido de Carola en Primos Gasco sobre información del tatarabuelo Ángel Gasco, tuve comunicación con ella para contribuir mi conocimiento sobre mi bisabuelo. Existe buen desafío por adelante para obtener y comprobar con documentos lo Italiano de ese Ángel Gasco. Digo "ese" por Ángel Gasco, natural de Albissola, padre de "el del duelo" del mismo nombre en el Cuzco, quien fue natural de Ilo, Moquegua. Perseguir esta documentación y obtener lo necesario requiere un poco de suerte, mas que todo porque las fechas coinciden con la invasión y destrucción de infinidad de archivos por los Chilenos en su avance a Lima en la Guerra del Pacífico.  Esta es copia de la Partida de Bautismo de Cesar Augusto Gasco hijo natural de Josefa Morales. Evento de un 28 de Setiembre de 1882, criatura de 73 días. En la parte superior izquierda, se nota el añadido de Ángel Gasco como Padre que reconoce y firma un 11 de Enero de 1883. (La pagina de los Ghersi tiene a Angel en 2do m...
