Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Friday is Skyday

It was a fine place
to speak about refugees.
And to talk with some.

Friday the 13th
completing a sun orbit.
What a fine omen.

Anniversary of an Assassination

Surely the President of the Russian Federation enjoys a most happy day with all his dear friends, and everyone will have done his best to make the flawless democrat happy.
I wonder which one was the most special present today.

 
Eleven years ago, October 7th, 2006 some admirers intended to surprise (?) their beloved President with a very very special present - and let assassinate Anna Politkovskaya.

Well, and here's a List of murdered Russian journalists.

Peace Price for Erdoĝan





With twelve days delay:
September 22nd, Aslı Erdoĝan in Osnabrück received the Erich Maria Remarque Friedenspreis (= PeacePrice).
And this months a book with some of her very latest essays got published in German:
Nicht einmal das Schweigen gehört uns noch.

It won't come as a surprise that in Turkey these essays 'do not exist'.
It seems in English they have not (yet) been published, but in French:
Le silence même n'est plus à toi (Lettres turques.

Finally, here the English wikipedia entry about Erich Maria Remarque.
And here the English wikipedia entry about his most famous book: Im Westen nicht Neues / All Quiet on the Western Front.

On the Road ... whereto?

Fascism raises its right arm.
Franco would be very pleased

 with his successors' ruth- and shamelessness.

Oh, and by the way:

If I were a Catalan,
I had voted 'No'.
Nationalism is Fascism's little brother.
