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.

In partea a II-a a simfoniei Zamolxis inchinate primaverii si fetei cu ochi obo, mai multe amintiri si mai mult Prokofiev. Partea I este lectura obligatorie, macar pentru playlist care contine intreaga simfonie la sfarsit.

Incepusem sa discut in partea I datoria externa a Romaniei, starnit de o afirmatie facuta de Gheorghe Funar cum ca aceasta ar fi ajuns la 140 de miliarde de euro. Desi ar trebui sa reiasa din episodul anterior, aici ajungem la o oarecare concluzie in aceasta privinta.

In 1992, Ion Iliescu dadea un interviu unui ziar prietenos in care spunea ca el crede ca poate fi democratie si sub un "despot luminat". Daca citeai interviul cu atentie, nu era nimic absolut ingrozitor in el; acest citat insa a fost replicat, disecat si mediatizat in special de presa de opozitie. Putin avea sa duca acest concept spre noi culmi de implinire.

The ink on the Romanistan series (I, II, III) had yet to dry when news that the Russians are blaming Roma migration on Romania has, verisimilarly, sprung up from Nezavisimaya Gazeta.

Imi vine greu sa urmaresc ce se-ntampla in Moldova, intre altele fiindca neputinta ma-nfurie. Mai mult, logica sau bunul simt par sa fi fost interzise si proscrise, odata cu diseminarea propagandei referitoare la implicarea Romaniei in “Revolutia Twitter”.

It has recently come to my attention that today is St Andrew's day and also Scotland National Day. Tomorrow is Romania's. Or, since it’s unlikely I’ll finish this article and publish it today, subtract one day from all the temporal adverbs above. We will also learn here who put the ‘X’ in XXX.

Vinettou is back with a vengeance, this time with his superhero S.O., Vinetta. I feel like having an eggplant salad, especially since the two eggplants I bought a while back have started to turn bad in my fridge, so I decided to investigate easy recipes.

Citeam in Economist ca Germania ne-a mijlocit un tratat cu Moldova. Cred c-ar fi un bun prilej sa renuntam la visele de reintregire.

There are many ways, these days, to celebrate April Fools Day. I'm going to share with you a James Joyce poem along with the story of having sent it. (If you’re looking for a more conventional April Fools celebration, check out 2009.)

Am scris de cateva ori despre Rusia si de obicei nu in termeni elogiosi. Iata ca un nou arest arunca sub reflector "drama" altor barbati, drogati si violati de o bruneta obsedata.

This could very well be a paid post, but it's not (unless you consider a free concert and a couple of Pepsi bottles as 'payment'). I was just passing by their tent and the music caught my ear; I enjoyed it while watching a cover of Talking Heads (Psycho Killer). All in all, a great opportunity to reminisce on what Pepsi meant in my childhood.

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.

Azi am primit un spam interesant. Si mi-am amintit de spammer-ul meu (I, II), pe care l-am cam neglijat in ultima vreme. N-am mai intrat pe mess nici pentru prieteni, d-apai pentru un cretin nigerian?!? Mai jos este ce-am mai facut cu el, si spam-ul de la o "rusoaica". Spam-ul rusoaicai este insotit de 2 poze foarte michteaux, da' nu le public ca par un pic underage..

Exista o gramada de idei false care persista in pofida statisticilor, datelor stiintifice accesibile tuturor. Cum am promis, atac aici un subiect mai greu de-nghitit care taman d-aia ma atrage.

Recent, un ziar nou din Toronto ar fi publicat un articol in care autorul, Bogdan Ionescu, cere la plural, in numele sau si al "elitei" sa nu se desfiinteze vizele pentru romanii din Romania care doresc sa viziteze Canada:

Inca o data, Romania trimite o dezmintire - de data asta scrisa si oficiala - celor de la Brussels: BBC NEWS | Europe | Romania says it had no CIA bases. In ciuda raportului lui Dick Marty, care acuza Romania de a fi gazduit centre de detentie CIA alaturi de Polonia, Romania sustine ca nu este adevarat.

Va voi arata cateva din prostiile pe care le primesc. Si urez tuturor persoanelor care se considera astfel La Multi Ani de ziua comunista a femeii, 8 Martie!

#WTA has recently confused #Romania anti-#corruption #rezist #protest with people coming out in the streets to welcome and congratulate Simona Halep in her recent Grand Slam triumph (gsp-tnr). It’s not only foreigners not getting what’s going on, but even some of those protesting.

Iar am ramas in urma cu ce se-ntampla in Ro. Ultimele ecouri pe care le-am prins despre Romania din presa au de-a face cu case din noroi, studenti straini intr-un sat amarat, nemtzii ofticati pe Nokia si Romania la festivalul de film din Venezia. Multe s-or intamplatara de-atunci, si ca sa nu uit, le trec in raboj.
