Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

A Spanish radio station (COPE) owned by the Spanish Catholic Conference of Bishops pulled a prank on Evo Morales yesterday, impersonating Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero on a congratulatory phone call and steering the conversation towards Fidel Castro and "imperialism". COPE show hosts spent all of today making fun of Morales for falling for it. The Bolivian embassy has lodged an official complaint, Zapatero has called the prank "unacceptable" and the Spanish Socialist Party is suggesting the impersonation might actually constitute a crime.

OMFG, I can't believe the Spanish right.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
