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.

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.

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. |

Word verification
Sorry. Word verification enabled, for a change.
Hopefully not for long.
Don't like it, but less I like getting 60 spams within a few minutes.

The Tale of Wealth and Misery
Das Märchen von Reichtum und Not
Es war einmal Bruder und Schwester:
Der Reichtum und die Not.
Er schwelgte in tausend Genüssen,
sie hatte kaum trocken Brot.
Die Schwester diente beim Bruder
viel hundert Jahre lang;
ihn rührt' es nicht, wenn sie weinte,
noch wenn sie ihr Leiden besang.
Er fluchte und trat sie mit Füßen,
er schlug ihr ins sanfte Gesicht;
sie fiel auf die Erde und flehte:
Hilfst du, o Gott! mir nicht?
Wie wird das Lied wohl enden?
Das ist ein traurig Lied!
Ich will's nicht weiter hören,
wenn nichts für die Schwester geschieht!
Das ist das Ende vom Liede
vom Reichtum und von der Not:
An einem schönen Morgen
schlug sie ihren Bruder tot.
Adolf Glassbrenner (March 27, 1810 – September 25, 1876)

Hm, this got scheduled weeks ago. Obviously, certain people did not like Carlin to be seen talking about the Bushs and Cheneys and war, three days after 9/11. :)
