Gauchos race with steady grace,
Horse and man as one."

No trip to Argentina is complete without seeing a gaucho show on a ranch. Horse riding, a folklore show, and of course a cookout. Today's photo-of-the-day is from Estancia Santa Susanna outside Buenos Aires.
And with that, we say adios to Argentina. Next trip: Turkey.
"Velvet curtains part.
Golden age of tango lives.
Dancing fire ignites."

No trip to Argentina is complete without seeing a live tango performance in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of tango. Today's photo-of-the-day is from Cafe de los Angelitos. "This historic café and haunt of legendary tango singer Carlos Gardel opens its secret backroom drapes every night and transforms into a grand ballroom tanguería. 'Of the many tango shows in Buenos Aires, Cafe de los Angelitos rises above the rest,' TangoNightsBA, a travel agency that specializes in tango shows, explains. 'The refurbished cafe and theater managed to preserve the traditional feel of the tango golden age and their show reflects the same.' "
A bonus photo is after the jump.

Democrats seem to have the advantage on the issues. But Republicans have the advantage on messaging. Let's consider Missouri. Voters there voted like Democrats on the issues. But they voted for Republicans for office. They passed some pretty liberal Constitutional amendments while voting by a 19% margin for Donald Trump for President, and by a 14% margin for Josh Hawley for Senate.
It's now one week since Election Day. Mark Leibovich in "The Atlantic" goes all the way back to Hillary Clinton's close loss to Donald Trump in 2016 to explain the source of the Democrats' defeats in 2024.
Leibovich: "Democrats engaged in no real reckoning after 2016. Essentially they became a party that defined itself in opposition to Trump, just as Republicans have been defined in submission to him."
