Extreme division in the public opinion is not new and is not common only to Romania. What is special about our situation is how ludicrous and paranoid their claims are. In this article commenced long ago, we look at how “tunnel vision” and “excessive focus” ruins politics, and implicitly, electorates who fail to censor the politicians who succumb to it.

In the past few days, most of the Romanians I know received two important gifts: PSD didn’t win the elections and Dragnea, its [widely considered] corrupt boss, was sentenced to jail and went there shortly thereafter. Though I’m not a Dragnea/PSD fan, I find the celebrations a bit empty. What bugs me is that only one candidate answered my questions re: #EP2019, and I fear that the vast majority of voters never tried to clarify the programme of the candidates they voted for, nor have they tried to interact with them. Let's try to find reasons.

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.

Multi romani aici vor sa stie cum pot prinde canale romanesti la TV in Toronto. Desi eu personal nu le duc dorul, m-am gandit sa fac o (scurta?) trecere in revista. In prima parte a acestui serial multipartit (sic), arunc o privire de ansamblu asupra tuturor modalitatilor de a te uita la programe romanesti in Toronto, si prin extensie din afara tarii.

Comunicatul de presa este simplu si la obekt: "Întruniti în sedinta publica în data de 10.02.2011, membrii Consiliului National al Audiovizualului au hotarât aplicarea urmatoarelor sanctiuni..

Un prieten din New York publica intr-o expozitie din Brasov. Nu mi-este foarte clar ce publica, dar m-am gandit sa public si eu despre el. Afisul e alaturi. Expozitia nu-i cu Mircea Badea, dar articolul, da. :) Si cu ~, mai precis.

In episoade anterioare, am trecut in revista posibilitatile de a viziona TV romanesc in afara tarii si ne-am uitat la ceea ce unii considera "piraterie" prin satelit. Aici arat cateva modalitati de a inceta sa platesti bani pentru TV, dat fiind ca totul se poate receptiona gratis la calitate uneori superioara celei prin cablu.

Stiu ca-i a n-spea oara in ultimele 2-3 luni cand scriu despre moarte, dar articolul asta despre caini otraviti, aparut pe site-ul Antena 3, mi-a atras recent atentia si sper sa iasa scurt.

Mi-ar fi extrem de greu sa ma impac cu sirul evenimentelor care s-au produs in ultimele cateva saptamani si mai ales zile. Un mod de a impaca realitatea cu dorul de normalitate este refugiul in arta - Commedia dell'Arte, mai precis.

Andrei Gheorghe a publicat recent pe site-ul sau optiunile politice a 15 jurnalisti. Cred ca sunt interesante si m-am uitat si la un interviu realizat cu Base imediat dupa prima dezbatere.

Desi oficial oamenii care isi cumpara satelit o fac pentru FTA, in realitate investitia si timpul consumat nu prea au sens pentru cateva programe gratis. Motivul real, nedeclarat, este asa-zisa piratare a programelor care fie sunt interzise / inaccesibile pe teritoriul canadian, fie pot fi obtinute numai prin Bell / Starchoice dar costa bani. Iata o scurta analiza a cadrului legal din Canada in care se desfasoara aceasta activitate cu citate din wikipedia si din forumurile romanesti.

I try to make sense of who voted for whom in this election, and especially who voted for PNL. Surprisingly for me, PNL managed to attract a majority of women / rural / “unoccupied” voters.

In prima pagina ne-am uitat la ce s-a-ntamplat, intr-a doua am incercat o interpretare, iar aici continuam cu Mihaela Radulescu si declaratiile ei.

Continui seria Politia, Puterea, Politica si Prim-ministrul din Ro dar si Politia din Canada cu cel mai gretos individ care mi s-a perindat pe monitor saptamana asta. Reactiile unui "avocat" si modul in care acesta adreseaza politistii in timpul unui simplu control in trafic mi-au reamintit de ce nu ma vad traind Romania si de ce nu-i duc dorul. Mi-a amintit si de necesitatea unui curs cu Anthony Robbins sau alt gurist similar pentru politisti.

Today [or, more precisely, a few months ago when I re-started this article] I’ve seen the first real professionally done Romanian TV news segment on Roma. It seems to belong to Carmen Avram, Antena 3 undeva-n Ardeal. But rather than describe the atrocious conditions Roma people live in, I’d much rather tell you a small part of my own experience growing up in Bucharest in the 80s.

I have, in the past, dedicated ample space and time to the Romanian elections. Lately, I’m starting to get a feeling of futility. It’s a widespread disease.

Rezultatele exit poll (la sfarsit) il indica pe Geoana castigator. Recapitulez intai motivele pro si contra fiecarui catindat pe cat de impartial imi sta in putinta.

Antenele considera ca Udrea ironizeaza pe cei care-o critica. Intre timp, "consiliul national de evaluare a brandului" - de unde-au mai rasarit si astia? - se declara trup si suflet in spatele logo-ului. Iata o colectie a video-clipurilor Antenei – fiind multe si imposibil de strans intr-un playlist, pagina s-ar putea incarca foarte lent.

Ma uit la stiri si la reactiile "analistilor" si nu-mi vine sa cred. Oare o incercare de sinucidere = nevinovatie?!

I keep reading about Romanian Police incompetence and I can tell you that I’ve seen far worse here in Toronto. I learned about former cop and current “forensic psychologist” Butoi telling us why a living girl’s carbonized remains ended up in a barrel (cf Romanian “butoi”). And beyond all these facts, inadequacies and incompetence, the question we want to answer even though we know we can’t is why?
