Histerično sproščena Slovenija
vojko, ponedeljek, 2. april 2007Hijene še vedno vlačijo eldeesovsko mrhovino po medijski goščavi in puščavi. Do vrat spalnice zasledujejo všečnega Boruta v pričakovanju njegove menda usodne odločitve. Razkosavajo besede poglavarja gibanja, ki funkciji predsednika države dela čedalje večjo škodo. Tiščijo tace (z mikrofoni) v žrelo vsem, ki ne vedo veliko ali pa kaj vedo, a tega ne smejo povedati, so pa pooblaščeni za pošiljanje dimnih signalov. Še ‘domače’ prvoaprilske so bile bolj ‘potegavščine‘ kot kaj drugega.

Pisma iz Iraka - The War In the Words of the Dead
vojko, ponedeljek, 2. april 2007Po naključju mi je prišla v roke posebna izdaja Newsweeka. Voices of the Fallen. Skoraj v celoti sestavljena iz pisem ameriških vojakov, padlih v Iraku. Objavljenih s privoljenjem njihovih družin.
We have collected the correspondence of American soldiers at war in Iraq, accounts written not for the public but for those they loved—wives, husbands, children, parents, siblings. Each of the warriors whose words are excerpted here died in the line of duty. Each of their families chose to share their stories with us, and with you. /…/ For the first time in the experience of any living American, we have sent an all-volunteer force overseas to advance our interests for a prolonged period, and virtually nothing has been asked of the vast majority of those who do not have loved ones in the line of fire. The bargain is hardly fair. If we take the president at his word, the men and women of the armed forces are fighting and dying over there so that you and I will not have to face mortal danger over here. The administration may be right about this; it is impossible to know now. As wrong as the White House has been about the premise of the war (the presence of weapons of mass destruction) and about the way we would be received (as “liberators,” in Vice President Dick Cheney’s formulation) and about the conduct of the conflict once Saddam fell (we were unprepared for the sectarian bloodbath), history moves according to its own rhythms, not according to news cycles or presidential terms. Despite the depressing state of play on the ground, things may yet turn out better than most Americans suspect—or fear. The families who co-operated with NEWSWEEK did not do so to make unified political statements; their views are as divergent as the broad public’s.

Kako zanimivi smo za Vatikan
milan, ponedeljek, 2. april 2007Več je radijskih postaj, manj izbire ima poslušalec. Na komercialnih postajah, ki lovijo poslušanost z vse bolj bebavimi oddajami, žalijo moj razum, na javnem radiu pa se vse bolj igrajo z mojo potrpežljivostjo. Zdaj mi že drugi dan vztrajno opisujejo lik in delo vatikanskega zunanjega ministra Mambertija. Pomislil sem že, ali ni sprejemnik morda kar sam prestavil na frekvenco radia Ognjišče.

Slovenski karteli in cene bureka
darja, ponedeljek, 2. april 2007»Dokončanje šentviškega predora se vse bolj odmika, ker med drugim še ni jasno, ali bo imel predor polno priključevanje s Celovške ceste. Poleg tega vse bolj narašča tudi njegova cena, še vedno pa se nadaljujejo zapleti z izbiro izvajalca elektroinštalacijskih del, o katerem bo do sredine aprila odločila državna revizijska komisija,« berem na spletni strani javne RTV.
