It smells like goat and bull. The Argentine government has a 102-year-old male goatsucker on its payroll. A goatsucker is a mythical creature that's blamed for some bizarre animal attacks in Latin America; it's sort of like a unicorn with a behavioral disorder. The government goatsucker is sucking about $42 worth of unemployment benefits from the strapped system. Government officials blame a technical glitch. Sure, blame IT! This is the same government that has spent itself silly, sending the country into economic ruin. But at least it's a place where evil figments can catch a break.
