Iata ca m-am invrednicit si eu sa-mi pun pe hartie gandurile apropo de votul de azi. Am incercat sa citesc si cateva bloguri, dar opinia predominanta este ca trebuie sa votam nul fiindca asa, vezi Doamne, i-am pedepsi pe politicieni. Dupa cum i-am spus si lui Arhi, in comparatie cu ideea de a nu vota sau a vota nul, ideea de a-ti bea propria urina este geniala.

Un articol din Amar de Zi (Petreanu) mi-a atras atentia asupra unui afis electoral al Ontanului. Si m-am apucat sa vad cine este acest porc spinos. Am aflat.

If you follow Romanian news, you mustn’t have missed how Victor Ponta, the current Romanian prime-minister, leader of the most popular (and also crypto-communist) PSD party and the most likely winner of the upcoming presidential race, launched his candidacy, on his birthday, on a stadium.

The recent debate of Romanian politics in the European Parliament was the grotesque conclusion to this summer of our disco tent.

In my previous election adventures, I have relied heavily on the 'testvote' application and even shared and commented my results with you, my readers. I was planning to do the same this time, then I noticed something peculiar: all the candidates have virtually the same position! Upon further investigating, it appeared that either the application has been updated in the meantime or there was an error due to poor Internet connectivity and bad coding.

After #yeslavot let’s see who won and why..

Catalin cel Reinventat m-a provocat recent la o leapsa de ciudatenii simtind probabil ca am luat-o prea tare pe politica in ultima vreme. Eu sunt un tip ciudat, tot blogul e plin de ele, si le-am stors aproape pe toate intr-o leapsa precedenta. Si m-am gandit, ce-ar fi sa re-fac eu o leapsa ciudata?!

Mos Craciun vine in curand, dar putini dintre noi inca mai cred in el. Adresez acest articol celor care au nevoie sa li se spuna, din cand in cand, ca daca-ti imaginezi ca tot ce zboara se mananca, esti probabil tu insuti un fazan sau curcan gustos.

A recent Op-Ed in New York Times seems to have caused a fair amount of consternation in both Romania as well as among my diaspora friends. Ion could equally be Ion Iliescu, recently green-lighted to be re-investigated in the “Mineriada” file, Adrian Nastase, the suicidal former premier and failed presidential candidate who had become the first test case of prosecutorial overreach in the case of an elite aparatchik, or even Patrick Basham, not afraid to confront the warm, fuzzy racism/scepticism/antiziganism-fuelled consensus that Romania is “doing something”.

Not only did Klaus Iohannis manage to snatch victory from the claws of the Red Menace, but he did so by a huge, devastating margin AND on the surge in voter participation not only in the diaspora, but also in our birthplace. It’s a November Christmas miracle! 

Articolul initial, in care incepusem sa dezbat gandirea d-lui Nastase iesise mult prea lung. L-am spart in doua, precum Sgt John din marina britanica Titanicul.

In prima parte i-am prezentat pe prezidentiabili cu poze si clipuri. Aici prezentam detalii si chestii care nu-s importante pentru omul fara timp.

Cred ca nemultumirea colt cu ura pe care unii romani par s-o simta pentru Guvern si Presedinte are de-a face cu viziunea de erou mitologic. Mai precis, reprezentantii puterii sunt vazuti ca fiind capabili de eforturi supranaturale, si cand nu pot, dezamagirea paleste si distruge optimismul nerealist al alegatorului. Sau ii incurajeaza pesimismul suprarealist.

Rezultatele sunt sau ar trebui sa fie binecunoscute deja: PDL a fost pedepsit de cei suparati ca le-au fost taiate salariile si pensiile, iar USL a fost rasplatit fiindca le-au marit in ciuda lipsei banilor si-n ciuda faptului ca salariile si pensiile n-au legatura cu reprezentantii locali si politica locala.

Cateodata imi vine sa ma fac futograf. De pilda, atunci cand asist la o sesiune de fotografie in nudul gol. Ce urmeaza este undeva la granita – in zona artei, zic eu. Dar acei care considera plaja un loc de pierzanie se vor simti ofensati, so reader discretion is strongly advised.

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.

Desi ar putea fi foarte bine vorba de parale, ca oricum s-au dus, imi investesc cei $0.02 in cateva intamplari recente si asemanari cu povesti similare din afara Ro. Pentru ca – nu-i asa? – istoria se repeta cu avant si tenacitate.

The title means “Romanians vote anticorruption”, but then I realized that Romanians know what happened, it’s foreigners who might be more interested in what I have to say about it. I wish I could write a celebratory article, but I can't. Most Romanians who lined up seem to think that they are voting against corruption, but have they really?

There were seemingly two Romanians running for Toronto Mayor: Radu Popescu and Michael Nicula. Radu Popescu has not listed anything other than his name, while Michael Nicula has listed a lot of info, but nowhere is it mentioned that he is (or was) Romanian.

Traim momente de cumpana. Eu de pilda aproape imi pierdusem domeniul si numai cu eforturi supraomenesti am reusit sa-l resuscitez :D. In acelasi timp, ctp declara ca el e fericit ca se vorbeste atata de Romania, chiar daca nu de bine..
