"I Am Not A Witch Or A Bird"

So says Argentinian President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as she fights off evil speculators.

Following a video conference from Government House, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner slammed the “speculative sectors” who “want to see us flying through the air”, and urged local politicians to help in the implementation of the Precios Cuidados program.

“I will not fly away because I am not a witch, nor a bird,” expressed Fernández de Kirchner, responding to “companies who tried to destabilize” the Federal Government.

Not a witch or a bird. Right. Well, it's a good thing we've got that out of the way. In case you were wondering, the Precios Cuidados program is the government's latest rules regarding prices on all kinds of items such as food and household goods. Precios Cuidados has been a big success, if by big success you mean it resulted in nothing for sale.

And so it goes with social justice fascism. Market forces have been thwarted once more and we've confirmed that the president is not a witch or a bird.

You might find empty shelves at the store, but at least neither of these were President Kirchner.
