10 para viernes
Buenos días blogolandia. 1- ¿Se acuerdan de Miriam Alonso? La ex comisionada pidió ayer disculpas públicas por robar más de $100,000 de campañas electorales en 1998 y 1999. 2- Mujeres que se purgan en grupo, orquestas de enanos mariachis, grupos de músicos que interpretan instrumentos invisibles, academias para salir del closet y sitios donde se hacen perforaciones y expansiones en los órganos genitales: Es la nueva Bogotá. 3- Hace casi un año, en Paris. 4- Merci, penúltimos días. 5- Cernuda: "El deseo es pregunta cuya respuesta nadie sabe". 6- ¡Calamares a lo Pong! 7- Pobre Menard (no Pierre), cayó en desgracia... 8- El muro de Bush... 9- En la Indonesia islámica, seas divorciada, viuda o soltera, eres vistas como una amenaza. 10- Qué esperas... pon la tuya, go ahead.

Lo más grueso de los Alonso está clavado en alguna parte. Y lo mejor de Pong no es su cocina, que es excepcional, sino su condición humana, sus virtudes como amigo.
The World Turned Upside Down..
If buttercups buzz'd after the bee
If boats were on land, churches on sea
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse
If the mamas sold their babies
To the Gypsies for half a crown
If summer were spring
And the other way 'round
Then all the world would be upside down!
Estamos listos?
El "Khaybar" Hebreo, el Ghetto de Venice? Are we building an American Kasbah? Walls have 2 functions, to keep hostiles out as protection, and to keep a populace in, or enclosed. Next we will have to mine the ocean around our coastal borders, perhaps with bouys and infrared detectors! Yes, as Israel creates it's defensive ghetto, and the U.S. builds walls to keep the other North Americans out (Mexico is in North America), then I wonder, how do we protect ourselves from a Canadian invasion? Lord help us all, can you Imagine an attack by Mounties, Inuits and fierce Polar Bears? We don't stand a chance! Lets build more walls, around our cities, around our houses, and around ourselves! To hell with diplomacy, or dialoque, Walls Walls Walls, WE NEED MORE WALLS!
Pass the mortar and the brick, Grab your gun or a stick!
Keep "em" out so we feel secure.
Thus,
Americans can stay racially pure?
PAPIFA!
A few years ago, during a conversation among friends,"Dr. G" a psychiatrist, mentioned a case that he was working on, and asked my opinion. Dr. G. mentioned this schizophrenic patient that lived in her imaginary island, which she named "Papifa", and his intentions on curing her in order to live in the "real" world. My questions were obvious, toward her physical health, emotional and family support, etc. All was fine, except her unreal world of "Papifa", this mythological island which brought only pleasure and relief, her Eden. I asked him, why take "Papifa" away from her, after all, don't we all search in our own world and faith for a place like "Papifa"? He said, yes, but of course we do, but, my job is to bring her to the real world, and make her realize that "Papifa" doesn't exist!
"Papifa" donde estas?
Oye Pong, me anoto. No sabias que eras cocinero...
Chamo,
Como en los tiempos de los gladiores Romanos, el tema de los deportes unen a las clases sociales dentro de su pais. Aunque, en los paises latino-americanos hasta una guerra ha ocurido debido de un juego de futball (soccer), en los EEUU, cuando un ejecutivo de oficina esta en una fiesta corporativa, y tiene que "socializar" con un empleado del "patio", siempre hablan de los deportes entre ellos, es lo comun; Los Heat, Los Dolphins, Los Marlins, etc. Los deportes nacionales son la goma que los une, y pueden por lo menos intercambiar y hablar sobre algo en comun, cuando al proximo dia ni se saludan. Yo pienso que es triste ver y oirlos, por que no hablan de la "otra" cultura, arte, filosofia, y la situacion global geo-politica. Que bueno seria un dia escuchar o ver los noticieros concentrarses en buenas noticias y cultura...
A little bit of history, SOCCER WAR- Honduras vs. El Salvador!
In 1969, an old rivalry between El Salvador and Honduras erupted into a brief war, momentaraly shifting attention from El Salvador's deteriorating political situation. The battle was caused by a number of issues, including a long-standing dispute over the exact location of a border between the two countries and the huge numbers of Salvadorans who had migrated into Honduras.
By the late 1960s, more than 300,000 Salvadorans had settled in Honduras, and many Hondurans resented losing their jobs to the rard-working immigrants. In addition, the two countries differed on how to aplly rules relating to the emerging Central American Commmon Market. Salvadoran companies competed strongly against their Honduran counterparts, which slowed Honduran efforts to industrialize. Finally, rich Honduran landowners sought a scapegoat for land imbalances in their own country, and focused attention on the easiest target: Salvadoran immigrants.
Honduras began to expel Salvadorans in the late 1960s, causing the Salvodaran press to trumpet allegations of mistreatement at the lands of Honduran authorities. Tensions peaked around the June 1969 World Cup playoffs between the two countries, and erupted into war on July 14. Throughout the four-day war, the only organized call for peace was a rally staged by the the Salvadoran Communist Party in San Salvador. Begun under the pretense of "protecting the human rights of Salvadoran settlers," the war ended when the Organization of American States arranged a cease-fire. By August, Salvadoran troops returned home to a "victory celebration" staged in the capital in an official attempt to salvage some national pride.
Who won? The "Soccer War," as it came to be known, left 3,000 dead, 6,000 wounded and caused $50 million in damage. Relations between the countries worsened and Honduras closed its borders to Salvadorans, blocked shipments of Salvadoran goods and stopped buying Salvadoran products. As Salvadoran emigrants returned home, land pressures and unemployment increased.
In the end, the Salvadoran military was the only group that benefitted from the war. The "effectiveness" of the armed forces had been demonstrated, and Colonel Sanchez Hernández rode a wave of nationalistic fervor into the presidency in the 1970 elections. The military-allied PCN received 60 percent of the vote versus 28 percent for the PDCs.
Ambia, espero que te recuperes del todo con tu nuevo higado!
Inkie, es que estamos en el mismo bando
