Nu-i vorba despre amnestie (eliberarea inainte de soroc din bulau cu ocazia victoriei socialismului si alte povestiri), ci despre un raport Amnesty International care gaseste - cine ar fi crezut! - ca romii sunt in continuare discriminati in Ro.

It is only natural for a government representing the most religious people in Europe to implement mercy, this unabashedly Christian concept. I’ve just learned from my former classmates that the amnesty ordinance (which is really an executive order / edict / decree “emanating” from the government and bypassing the legislature) that formed the object of the past week’s protests has been adopted. Precum in cer asa si pe pamant.

In Romanian, “firea”, the articulated form of the noun fire, is part of many idioms. It is also the name of the current Bucharest Mayor, who recently had to shamefully backtrack on announcing the winner for a logo contest, due to a likely case of plagiarism. This fickle-mindedness seems to be common to her entire party, PSD, struggling as it is with the conflict between its deep desire to "forget and forgive" cases of corruption and the public commitments, forced by weeks or #rezist protests to the contrary.

Ultima parte din "instalatia de PiaR", dupa logo, fronda frunzei si moneda, in acest canicular mijloc de vara se refera la indarjirea demagogica de care Sarko s-a gandit c-ar fi electoral indicat sa dea dovada, si modul oarecum nesabuit dar totodata adorabil in care Base pune paie pe focul xenofob.

It seems as if every new PSD government has to go through a baptism of fire. The latest such event has luckily resulted in no deaths. One of the club founders (or former co-owners) is Catalin Botezatu, which translated word-by-word is Baptized, Cat.

Long time ago some band came up with a song that was supposed to dissipate fears and bring back the magic of the enchanted evening: don’t fear the reaper. It seems that my friends are now afraid that PSD will bring the amnesty law.

..imi vine sa ma esprim. S-au anuntat tot felu' de ciudatenii atmosferice, din genul celor care te ingrijoreaza in principal daca ai casa. Si cum atunci cand e cald ai chef de salate, am decis sa las Costco sa gateasca in seara asta.

Afara ninge si-i zapada faina de schiat, in casa arde focul si incet-incet ma patrunde spiritul de Mos Cracila. Iata de ce m-am gandit sa fac un concurs de masacru cu premii palpabile, dar si glorie inefabila.

I am beginning to see the limits of my enforced-positivity in terms of absorbing and interpreting the current political events. Yet the political situation in Romania is remarkably similar to what’s happening in USA.

Romania is once again going through some convulsive protests and it's fun checking out how they are seen on the dark side. I started with Mircea Badea, about whom I’ve written extensively in the past (Romania’s Glenn Beck, censured).

After repeating what’s (still) irking me about #corruption and the way it’s tackled and perceived, I get to summarize the events of the past few days (since Executive Order / Ordinance 13) and provide you with my much unwanted and unneeded opinion.

In interviul precedent am discutat cu prietena mea cum vede ea coruptia canadiana. Ea - nu, eu da.

Am gasit o discutie interesanta despre romi si ce e de facut, cu voce tare, unde mi-am dat si eu cu pararea. Si pentru ca mi-am dat mult si bine, m-am gandit sa-mi reproduc propriul comentariu aici, cu mici modificari, ca sa-l regasesc cand am nevoie.

Am vazut recent, la TIFF '09, doua filme cu politisti - Police, Adj. al lui Porumboiu si unul rusesc. Si gandul mi-a fugit la doua articole recent citite, unul in Catavencu, celalalt in Alphablog. (WARNING: Cele 4-5 clipuri / liste video pot incetini computerul daca n-ai suficienta memorie / processing power!)

Sunt iritat ca din putinul timp pe care-l am spre a fi petrecut cu stirile romanesti, o bucata asa de mare trebuie acum petrecuta cu baseniile presedintiei.

Aud si vad. Si-apoi scriu.

ATENTIE! Aceasta este versiunea veche a FAQ-ului - cea noua in pagina.
A venit momentul sa astern pe ecran gandurile pe care le am in legatura cu acest blog. Sunt haotice, asa ca vom incerca sa bagam putina ordine-n dezordine si voi prezenta totul sub forma de FAQ = lista de intrebari care au fost sau ar putea fi adresate frecvent, fervent, efervescent.

I am EXTATIC!!!! N-am auzit de ea inainte sa fi castigat premiul Nobel, cum n-auzisem nici de francezul care a castigat in 2008, dar cu cat citesc mai mult, cu atat ma excit mai tare! E musai s-mpartasesc ce aflu cu cei 2-3 oameni care ma citesc, poate iau si eu un Hertzer sau un BlogIdol. Voi incepe sa scriu acest ghid prin a face mai mult spatiu sub birou.
