Re: Does Mary Robinson (4.00 / 3)
In a context where no one is officially a candidate for a post that doesn't yet exist, it would be a mistake to declare oneself too soon.

Therefore, we should give the job to Groucho Marx.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
