Mexico hasn’t been exactly blessed with good government over the years. There is a show on Canel Once (a Mexican Public Television station I get on DirecTV) called Los Once Mas—where they count down 11 famous things like 11 Mexican artists, or 11 best things about the state of Vera Cruz. Anyway, one show was the 11 villains in Mexican history. Of the 11, one was a crooked cop, one was Cortes’s girlfriend and the other 9 were leaders of the nation, from Montezuma, Cortes (of course), a viceroy, 2 ‘emperors’, and the rest presidentes.
What a crappy political track record.
Indeed, it couldn’t be much worse.
