I recently learned some interesting facts from a follow-up (by a Romanian news outfit) on the “Romanian Government attack” on the corrupt Adamescu family who is “not showing off” and it reminds me of a joke with Ivan, the American Spy.

Stirile despre Romania din presa straina abunda, cand ochiul antrenat le cauta. Sa discutam povestea unui roman ajuns in Canada intr-un container din Italia.

Discussing the tragedy is inescapable. I had started doing this a few days ago, focusing mostly on Andrei Anghel, but didn’t have the time to say all that I wanted to say, which is why I’m continuing here.

Much to my surprise, a movie featuring Elisabeth Hurley and filmed entirely partly in Romania has no review that I can find.

Un crud paradox al societatilor avansate este ca pe masura ce devii economic si "free-time-wise" mai capabil de a avea copii (adica te apropii de varsta pensionarii), devii incapabil biologic. Asta-i motivul pentru care un numar atat de mare de Conservatori – inclusiv fömei – se pronunta impotriva drepturilor reproductive ale femeii (avortul) si sprijina adoptiile internationale de zici ca viata lor depinde de asta.

Another article (after Sevil) that does not give me any particular pleasure but must be, nonetheless, written is on Kovesi and the ethics of her thesis. More specifically, how things we said about Ponta’s should apply to Kovesi’s as well, yet few of us have the courage to maintain that kind of consistency in our own convictions, let alone demanding that Kovesi does in hers.

Based on my mistaken belief that there may be people reading this, I go ahead with my recommendations, after the intro and Asia. PISA is not just a set of tests, it comes with suggestions and recommendations.

Citeam la @arhi nu demult o discutie pe tema pedofiliei. Si cum mi se-ntampla tot mai des in ultima vreme, desi discutia era pe cat de rationala poate fi o astfel de discutie ce contine implicit multe emotii, am fost infuriat de cateva prostii ridicate la rangul de "statistici".

Niste preteni au pornit un blog colectiv si le urez succes.

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!)

M-am izbit recent de cateva stiri economice ce merita discutate. Om generos, nu le-am putut tine numa’ pentru mine sau blogurile englezomane.

Un articol de Gramo imi trezeste niste amintiri. E vorba despre o petrecere aici in Toronto si imaginea romanilor.

Am fo recent pa tloen, sa ma adap cu cultura elitista, d-aia cum imi place mie. Si dintr-un test de romanism, am agiuns la poezie neo-urbana, care mi-a placut asa de mult c-am si recitat-o.

Imboldit de intrebari cum ar fi cea a Dianei Coman, am decis sa sparg tacerea asternuta pe acest blog cu o stire din UK. Aflu dintr-un recent articol in Daily Mail ca britanicii sunt pe cale sa interzica sau sa restrictioneze accesul doctorilor si asistentelor medicale din Romania la piata muncii, urmand exemplul spaniol, francez si italian, violand spiritul normelor UE.

Never have I hesitated to make my views on Romanian immigration known. I think that most people leaving the country for good are better off living in Ro (though European tourism needs to expand, especially among college students, who also have Erasmus to take advantage of). That is why I’m conflicted about “Maria’s Manifesto”, a rather incongruent and emotional appeal to “patriotism”.

Dupa ce in prima parte ne-am uitat la omniprezenta Ana Birchall si la "argumentele" avand de a face cu varsta din blogwars, continui aici cu cateva exemple de cum sunt tratate aceste subiecte in anglosfera.

Un artist roman se afla la ROM, unde deseneaza inspirat de stirile mass-mediei. Nu sta mult, merge in New York, la MOMA. Frumos, pozitiv.

I recently read a longer article on Bloomberg about Romania and its lagging infrastructure - more specifically, roads and highways. Much to my surprise, all that I was reading on other blogs (or hearing from my relatives) was described and explained as facts. (blmbrg-cows) 

So, I just voted. I thought I share with you how it went.
