Nuns and Guns
 

It has been said that behind every good man there is a woman.... uh,.... women... ah, no, please..... Nuns?

I could not resist sharing this ---while researching the recent inditement of former Argentine President Christina Fernandes this past Tuesday, on charges she ran a corruption scheme with a public works secretary who was arrested in June while trying to stash millions of dollars in a convent, I discovered this Rueters article.

"The country was riveted in June when Fernandez's former public works secretary, Jose Lopez, was arrested while tossing bags stuffed with millions of dollars over the walls of a Catholic convent on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

A gun-toting Lopez started hurling the money into the Our Lady of Fatima convent when the elderly nuns inside were slow to answer the door in the early morning hours of June 14, according to a neighbor who witnessed what happened and called 911.

A surveillance video shows the nuns finally welcoming Lopez and accepting the cash while paying little attention to the automatic rifle he had placed by the convent door.

Lopez and his direct boss, former Planning Minister Julio De Vido, were indicted along with Fernandez on Tuesday."
