I pity the politicians who want to do something good. They can’t clickbait their laws. For instance, the measure to tax sugary stuff can and should be called an anti-aging tax or, in Romanian, “contributia pentru o tinerete fara batranete si-o veatza fara de moarte”.

I should’ve written “Guten Abend” instead of “buna seara”, but I don’t mean to torture my readers more than necessary. I’ve recently learned about Ion Caramitru’s prodigal son Andrei having returned from Switzerland (bmr-icstory), much like the older Ion Ratiu, to give Romanians Nestle candies in exchange for votes.

Dupa leapsa careia i-am raspuns in felul meu acum cateva zile, Catalin cel Reinventat ma provoaca la una noua. Desi in ultima vreme am dat-o-n politica mult prea mult, o preiau si p-asta.

In trying to answer the map question, it might be a good idea to stat with some Dacian history. Presumably, after Trajan conquered Dacia, the men were massacred or enslaved and the Dacian state including its capital, Sarmizegetusa, obliterated then rebuilt in Roman fashion.

I recently got an article from our very own Blegoo, who wanted to see his thoughts published and critiqued around here. It required serious formatting, but I thought it’s a free service I can provide to the second highest commenter (in terms of quantity) on this blog. My comments will be highlighted inline and concentrated at the end. 

Intre candidatele competitiei Miss Univers Canada ‘09 se afla si doua romance. Madalina, bruneta, e din Bucuresti via Toronto iar Livia, satena, e din Craiova via Montreal (St Lambert).

Azi la BNR un Isa-Rescue depui, maine el va .. inMuguri? Continuam balada lui Mugur, dupa ce in episodul anterior ne-am uitat la declaratiile de avere.

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.

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”.

The stuff I haven't told you yet about Anaughtia (see previous and still unfinished, at this time, article) is on my mind, fighting its way into a sequel. But it will be a while. There are other stories for other blogs that also searching for a way out of my head. Until then, a somewhat easier subject, on Sweden.

Viata cotidiana este o farsa generalizata si totala. Prima zi din Aprilie e ziua mondiala a farselor, dar cui ii mai arde de asa ceva cand viata reala o ia cu mult inaintea imaginatiei?

Spuneam ca de cand cu tevatura cu Base ats Rege n-am avut timp sa discut chestii mai importante. Iata cateva dintre acestea. In acest prim segment, cateva stiri economice.

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..

Cu multe secole in urma incepusem sa comentez scrisoarea unui roman din USA catre casa. In primul episod am vorbit despre San Francisco si alte generalitati, in al doilea despre telefonie, iar aici vom vorbi despre finante si carduri.

Recent, zoso publica un videoclip al Antenelor cu ieseni calcandu-se in picioare pentru produse de bricolaj la oferta. Eu revad un clip despre care am scris acum cativa ani. Cel vechi e cu saraci la Walmart.

A rather popular essay these days is Don't date a girl who travels (link in Sources). Some would use the word "viral" but I'm a mysophobe (aka germaphob) when it comes to travel.

Am avut recent ocazia sa stau de vorba c-o piarista. Contrar asteptarilor, discutia a avut loc in limitele gramaticii si-a bunului simt. Nu este un interviu amuzant si n-o iau la michteau. Pur si simplu imi astampar curiozitatea – am vrut sa vad cine, cum si de ce face PiaR.
