Slovenes love Bush

King Fool was in town last week for the annual EU-US summit. The country was virtually closed down for most of the day and a half he was here - including all Slovene airspace for the length of his visit, the airport and the motorway to the the airport for half a day when he arrived and left, all kinds of roads throughout the capital, and the old city centre because his lovely wife wanted to wander around.

Of course the cover of this left-leaning political magazine pretty much makes up for the all the inconvenience this piece of shit caused. The headline reads: 'Would the world be a more beautiful place without this man?' Also in certain Slavic verb tenses his name is spelled 'Georgea Busha,' which I find amusingly apropos.

Gore Vidal is not optimistic

Here's a quote from Gore Vidal's memoirs, Point to Point Navigation, which bitterly sums up American politics, foreign policy and mass media in the 21st century:

A Michigan congressman, John Conyers, leader of the House Judiciary Committee, went to Ohio with several other members of Congress and a number or staffers to determine whether or not in the late presidential election of 2004 the overexuberant local Republican Party had stolen the election for George W. Bush. The result was a report by Conyers which a Chicago firm published with a preface by me. Yes, Virginia, the election was well and truly stolen and the Conyers team spells it all out in considerable detail. Since the Republican Congress will not allow hearing on what went wrong, Conyers had no recourse other than a book describing in detail how the theft was effected with collusion among high officials and shadowy executives of electronic voting machine companies.

Thus far the report has no been mentioned in the print media. The New York Times maintains a sibylline silence as it tends to do when proofs of electoral wrongdoing are nailed, as it were, to the church door. The general liberal (what a meaningless word in the American context!) line has been: no one likes sour grapes. So let's just move on quietly as Gore did in 2000. So what happened next? A blizzard of official lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Of collusion between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, two well-known enemies. The wrecking by Rumsfeld of Iraq and Afghanistan, two countries that had not and could not have done us the slightest harm. Simultaneously as their cities were being knocked down at enormous expense to us, the taxpayers, contracts were being given to the vice president's company, Halliburton, to rebuild those same cities that his colleague at the Defense Department had knocked down. This is a win-win situation for the higher corruption that governs us.

Now we are creating air bases in Central Asia to seize Iranian oil reserves? Or, more dangerously, to take on China en route to North Korea or vice versa? Since these so-called neoconservative contingency plans for world conquest will end more soon than late in our destruction one wonders why our media, bought and obedient as they are, cannot see that they are on the wrong side of human history, now more than ever fragile and out of control as we nuclearize space itself and attack nation after nation while silencing those few of our citizens who see what is up ahead for us.

Fucking idiots

Michel Houellebecq, Lanzarote, pp 29-30:

In spite of everything, it seemed we were swiftly moving towards the concept of a world federation dominated by the United States, with English as its common language. Of course, the prospect of being governed by fucking idiots was somewhat disagreeable; but it wouldn't be the first time after all. From all evidence they had left of themselves, the Romans had clearly been a nation of idiots; a fact that hadn't stopped them taking over Judea and Greece. Then came the Barbarians, etc. It was oppressive, this feeling of repetition; I switched over to MTV. MTV without sound is quite bearable; actually it's quite nice, all these trendy girls wiggling around in their skimpy tops.
