It's time for a new generation of journalists to run the show. I don't agree with a lot of what Val, their guy in Washington, says, but at least he seems to be honest and capable of stringing a sentence together. (Just a thought. Ramos writes like someone with a substance problem, and his English is astonishingly bad for someone who claims to have spent most of his adult life in the Anglo Saxon world. Could he, in fact, be <a href="http://www.alsur.com/arseca/corcuera.html">Rafael Ramos, Malaga cannabis lawyer</a>?)

I find it amusing that Casasús gets uptight about my Spanish but doesn't seem particularly bothered about Ramos getting paid for writing complete gibberish. I've never read anyone who writes as badly as Rafael Ramos in <b>that</b> article. The explanations that occurred to me at the time were lunacy, crack, or a complex mixture of alcohol and pills.

It shouldn't be too hard to find. In addition, after Ramos's "interview" with BE, they printed a letter to the editor several days later pointing out that Mr. Ramos had interviewed a dead man. That's got to be findable, too. I would love to browse the Vanguardia's complete Rafael Ramos archive. They must have one, mustn't they? I have the necessary spare time.
