Qui si che stiamo bene e abbiamo tempo da perdere!

Solo due paroline su questa ennesima diatriba verbal-politica dei nostri politici, molto impegnati a fare il loro lavoro: ma nn avete un cazzo di meglio da fare che fare polemica inutile su tre parole dette da uno che ogni tanto farebbe meglio a pesare le parole prima di parlare?

Il fantomatico (e fantasmatico) "governo ombra" è maestro nell'ingigantire le cagate che interessano a lui (almeno in questo il "centro di là" è unito!) e il nostro carissimo premier dovrebbe ricordarsi di sostituire il filtro tra cervello e bocca più spesso: non si rischierà un bel niente a livello internazionale per una battuta ma nn è che ci facciamo una bella figura!

Facciamo come gli americani: SVECCHIAMO LA CLASSE POLITICA ITALIANA!

Anche se poi si porrebbe un problema: con chi se la prenderà la sinistra dopo che il Silvio darà forfait? Mistero!

The blistering heat of the Russian sun burnt his brain - The irresponsible behaviour of the President of Freedoms

Nonostante il sole russo non sia famoso per essere particolarmente forte, il Presidente delle Libertà (anche delle vostre) si è cotto il cervello e ha sparato una delle sue frasi seguite da insulti (no, mi mi sbaglio, smentisco, non da insulti) o da smentite (smentisco la smentita).
L'ABC lo definisce: the famously impolitic = unwise= non saggio/stolto/imprudente. Fate voi, io prendo tutte e tre le definizioni.

Country First


MCCAIN: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.
My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.
A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.
(BOOING)
Please.
To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.
In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance.
But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.
This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.
I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too.
But we both recognize that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation's reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.
A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt's invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.
America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.
Let there be no reason now ... Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.
Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country. I applaud him for it, and offer him my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day. Though our faith assures us she is at rest in the presence of her creator and so very proud of the good man she helped raise.
Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain.
These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.
I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.
Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.
It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.
We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours.
AUDIENCE: No!
MCCAIN: I am so...
AUDIENCE: (CHANTING)
MCCAIN: I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honor of your support and for all you have done for me. I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do, too (OFF-MIKE)
MCCAIN: The road was a difficult one from the outset, but your support and friendship never wavered. I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.
I'm especially grateful to my wife, Cindy, my children, my dear mother ... my dear mother and all my family, and to the many old and dear friends who have stood by my side through the many ups and downs of this long campaign.
I have always been a fortunate man, and never more so for the love and encouragement you have given me.
You know, campaigns are often harder on a candidate's family than on the candidate, and that's been true in this campaign.
All I can offer in compensation is my love and gratitude and the promise of more peaceful years ahead.
I am also — I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I've ever seen ... one of the best campaigners I have ever seen, and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength ... her husband Todd and their five beautiful children ... for their tireless dedication to our cause, and the courage and grace they showed in the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign.
We can all look forward with great interest to her future service to Alaska, the Republican Party and our country.
To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly, month after month, in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much. A lost election will never mean more to me than the privilege of your faith and friendship.
I don't know — I don't know what more we could have done to try to win this election. I'll leave that to others to determine. Every candidate makes mistakes, and I'm sure I made my share of them. But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.
This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.
(BOOING)
Please. Please.
I would not — I would not be an American worthy of the name should I regret a fate that has allowed me the extraordinary privilege of serving this country for a half a century.
Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much. And tonight, I remain her servant. That is blessing enough for anyone, and I thank the people of Arizona for it.
AUDIENCE: USA. USA. USA. USA.
MCCAIN: Tonight — tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama — whether they supported me or Senator Obama.
I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Americans never quit. We never surrender.
We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much.

Cinema delle Libertà

ROMA - No ad Oliver Stone e al suo film su George W. Bush. No, perché quella ricostruzione così "apocrifa" della vita politica del Presidente degli Stati Uniti non piace a Berlusconi, amico fraterno dell'America. Eccola qui in sintesi la "vera" storia del perché l'attesissimo, nuovo lavoro del regista americano non sarà al Festival di Roma, come invece più volte era stato anticipato dai giornali fino a poche settimane fa.

Never Again - Per non dimenticare

Anche il premier italiano SIlvio Berlusconi, nel 2002, fa la conoscenza di Barney (Olympia)




"Finalmente il nostro PsicoNano si è deciso a fare "gli auguri di buon lavoro" ad Obama...sicuro del suo "rispetto delle libertà" (...che palle..). Ha fatto i suoi complimenti in ritardo poichè era atteso al salone del ciclo di Rho...e sti cazzi!!
Scanalando fra le varie tv italiane mi sono sofermato (ahimè..) su Studio Aperto dove, come super esperto c'era KLAUS DAVI: non so se lo conosci. Vai in internet e vedi che è fondamentalmente un cazzone: è un 'massmediologo' (così si definisce) capace di commentare solo culi e tette. comunque, questo personaggio ha affermato che Barack Obama è riuscito a vincere grazie anche al fatto che quasi tutti i giornali negli states erano dalla sua parte essendo questi di sinistra così come accade anche in Italia!!!!!
MA VAFFANCULO!!!!!!!!!"
Loris

Finalmente!

Finalmente questa disputa internazionale (benchè riguardi effettivamente solo gli States) si è risolta, speriamo ora che lo sia nel migliore dei modi e il tanto osannato "fratello nero" Obama rispecchi nella sua gestione quello che ha fatto vedere in mesi e mesi di infiammati e coinvolgenti comizi. Premetto che il sottoscritto "tiferà al 100%" il senatore dell'Illinois perchè lasci un segno nella storia non solo nel giorno di queste elezioni ma anche negli anni a venire.
Un buon inizio per il neo eletto potrebbe essere di riadattare la Casa Bianca (la chiamiamo ancora così? :P) ad uno stile più Clintoniano, magari con il tocco di qualche canzone di Marvin Gaye in sottofondo al posto del sax!
Scherzi a parte, spero che Obama dia una bella svegliata generale alla politica USA perchè il suo predecessore, che dichiara di non leggere libri, ha assopito il paese per 8 anni!
Queste elezioni possono aver fatto lo stesso effetto di acqua calda-limone-zucchero dopo una sbronza colossale...USA WAKE UP!!!!!
Forza Obama allora e, come diceva Yoda, che la forza sia con te.
Un ultima parola per il coautore del blog: ma ti sembra il caso di fare le 5 alla tua età? Hai usato almeno il vasino grande?
Alla prossima gnari!

I wanna thank Larry Simons from Kenosha, Wisconsin for his help. He sent me a lot of useful links and information regarding the Presidential election 2008; he'll go on collaborating with this blog.
All these posts wouldn't have been written without your help. Thank you dude!!

Obama sta vincendo negli Stati chiave, ma ancora non è finita. Manca poco

Looking for McCain's Fans in London

Sto ascoltando una radio locale che commenta le elezioni, radio locale di Londra. Cercano qualcuno che chiami e sia a favore di McCain e, seriamente, non riescono a trovarlo. Tutti quelli che chiamano, tutti quelli che intervistano sono pro Obama. Dovrebbero chiamare in Italia che qualche berluscones di turno, qualche direttore delle sue televisioni, qualche Giordano, loro diranno che McCain è il migliore. Cercateli in Italia.

I am listening to a radio programme and they are looking for some McCain's supporters who would call the radio programme to tell their opinions, but they didn't manage to find any. I ask the show hosts to look for McCain's fans in Italy. They 'll find some berluscones, some tv directors, some Giordanos, who will say that McCain is the best, because he is as old and clever as our Prime Minister.

People in a line to vote - NY

Live from the USA

"My sincerest hope is that this election doesn't degenerate into the kind of fiasco that happened in 2000 with the "hanging chads" and the Supreme Court.
Here is what we get as a badge for doing our patriotic duty:


(...)It took 40 minutes to get into the building and to get my ballot. Once I had the ballot, it took less than a minute to vote". Larry (Kenosha - Wisconsin)
Da testimonianza diretta si rileva quindi l'alta affluenza: 40 minuti di attesa in una città che ha circa 125ooo abitanti (si trova a metà strada fra Chicago e Milwaukee). Potete quindi immaginare che nelle grandi metropoli i tempi di attesa potrebbero essere più lunghi e ritardare lo spoglio delle schede. Va però fatto notare che tali code vengono rilevate ora che è primo mattino negli USA, il che è naturale parlando di votazioni durante un giorno lavorativo.
