Tolstoi & Esperanto
A little known fact is that Leo Tolstoy was a keen supporter of Esperanto. Unfortunately he appears not to have written in it, except for one lettre.
Tolstoy was also very keen on pacifism and vegetarienism, and believed that anyone who didn't agree with him should be killed. For this reason, he has had a great influence on Norse Deth Metal and Jamaican artists such as Bounty Killer.

Nasty German girls win Weltpokal
Deutsche Maedels 2 : 0 Brasil Senhoritas.
The German Walkyries retain the Cup. But what a nasty team. Crunching tackles. Pointless kicks every time the Brasilian girlies came near them. Fruktaensvaert.
3/4 place. US Babes 4:1 Noreg.
The Norse blondies destroyed their morale by listening to Death Metal before the match. So all they wanted to do was play chess with death.
As for the British they lost 3-0 in the QFs to the US super-babes. Not surprising, given their habit of falling over every time anyone came near them.

A prediction for Burma/Myanmar
I can tell you that the hype will soon quiet down and be forgotten. Nothing will be done. Just like about Somalia, Zimbabwe, eastern Congo.....Indian untouchables. Who barely register on the radar...
I know this because I am a master of fantasmogarias. Which I learnt among the Death Metal Trolls of Finnmark.

Deutsche Frauen 11 Senyores argentinas 0
Ce resultat du Mondial feminin est peut-etre a mettre en relation avec la phrase du plus grand litterateur argentinien Jose Luis Borges:
El futbol es popular porque la estupidez es popular.
Evidemment les femmes argentiniennes ne sont pas stupides.
Mais au Royaume Uni on peut dire que l'estupidez es popular porque l'estupidez es popular.
Demi-finales: Deutschland 3-0 Norwegen Death Metal Babes . Brasileiras 4-0 USA Babes.

Naomi Klein, mrs Thatcher & the miners
Naomi Klein, the Canadian anti-capitalist ("No Logo" etc.) has revealed in the Guardian the real purpose of the Falklands War of 1982. It was to provoke British miners into a strike and then close down the mines. After winning the 1983 election thanks to a "Falklands Factor".
Only a few problems:
The Tory vote fell in 1983. The Tories only won thanks to the split in the opposition. (The belief the Tory vote rose substantially is a frequent myth.)
Winning a war doesn't guarantee victory. In 1945, Churchill was given the "order of the boot".
The miners strike was mishandled by the extreme leftist leader Arthur Scargill. He was clearly beaten after 6 months, but only went back after 12. & his extremism alienated many floating voters.

Why Ayaan Hirsi Ali is so anti-Moslem
Reading her rather obvious book the Caged Virgin, seems her real problem is not with Islam but with Somalis. Her mother, although educated, used to give her real beatings. Given that Somalia is the most violent country in the world (or, countries, since law and order has broken down and there are now several Somalias), and given the casual violence of Somalis in Britain, it seems likely that other Islams are less violent.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is of course the former Dutch MP (VVD) who has gone to the United Satans of Amerika as a refugee, the quiet, sensible Dutch being unable to protect their MPs from other Somalis.

"Green" Party fails again
Another 2 by-elections, another 2 failures for the Green-Grey Party.
"Little India" in West London : 3 %.
Sedgefield, North-east England, Mr Blair's old seat : 1%. The racist BNP got 9%. This despite the "help" of Derek Wall, male principal speaker and "pacifist" admirer of soldiers such as el coronel Chavez and el coronel Castro. Perhaps his confrontational language scared away potential voters?
Fact : in 2001 the Green-Greys saved only 10 deposits (minimum vote is 5%). 6 were in London and 4 in other mega-cities. The Green-Greys are terrified of the countryside.
by-election : election partielle.

Esperanto - a vulgar joke
Looking thru an old, boring pamphlet, "Ekrigardo al Budismo", I came on the phrase "Mi penis sanigi..."
which seemed to say "my penis was cured". However, after some research, I decided penis must come from the verb peni (French "peiner"), meaning "I tried to cure"....

Panic in Britain.
Britain is under attack from a few incompetent lunatics. Naturally, the famous British calm immediately disappears, and the TV is full of people reassuring us. The PM, the new Interior Minister, various "experts" on the TV News.
Luckily, the Spice Girls are to reform. Perhaps they can save us?
The police (known on Merseyside as "the busies") have made an arrest in Penny Lane, Liverpool. + 2 on Motorway 6.
How long before they're released without charge?

Prinz Harry. Versoehnung mit seinem Vater James Hewitt
Erste Seite der Neue Post./ la une de l'hebdo populaire Neue Post
Versoehnung = reconciliation.
Im Vereinigten Koenigreich ist es nicht gang und gaebe, dass der Herr Major Hewitt Harrys Vater sei.
Au Royaume Uni ce n'est pas tout a fait l'opinion publique que le Cdt. Hewitt soit le dab du 2e fils de Diana.
Dans un entretien a la tele americaine, lundi, Harry a dit curieusement qu'on saura peut-etre jamais ce qui c'est passe dans le tunnel lors du deces de sa mere. Alors que la version officielle trait l'affaire comme un accident pure et simple.

Die Karte der Mande-Jaeger
Bei der Kroenung vom grossen Kaiser von Mali, Sundschata Keita, wurde diese "Magna Carta" ausgerufen, in etwa 1222 oder 1235. Es ist mehr idealistisch als die englishe Magna Carta von 1215, die sich groesstenteils mit Kleinigkeiten befasst.
1. Jedes Leben ist ein Leben.
2. Das Unrecht erfordert Entgeltung.
3. Uebt die gegenseitige Hilfe.
4. Wacht ueber das Vaterland.
5. Ruiniert die Sklaverei und das Hungernot.
6. Dass die Folter vom Krieg verschwinden.
7. Jeder ist frei, zu sprechen, zu machen, und zu sehen.
Wikipedia: fransais (sehr emotionnel), english und espanyol.

I juss hope that stoopid ole judje don't send me back their. Oh pleeeeeze.
La Carta de Manden (espanyol)
Es una declaracion mas interessante que la Gran Carta de los ingleses (1215).
Ella a sido proclamada el dia de la intronisacion de Sundiata Keita, el gran emperador de Mali en Africa occidental, en 1222 o 1235. Fue transmetida per via oral.
1. Toda vida es una vida.
2. El danyo exige reparacion.
3. Ayudarse mutualmente.
4. Velar por la patria.
5. Ruinar la servidumbre et la hambre.
6. Que cessan las tormenta de la guerra.
7. Cada quien es libre de hablar, de hacer y de ver.
Wikipedia: solamente en ingles y frances. El articulo frances es muy patriotico (punta de vista Maliena.) Y espanyol (pero no es indicado del ingles o frances).

Emerald Greens
After the recent election, the Fianna Fail (Soldiers of fate) party is in negotiation with the Green Party of Ireland (the Emerald Isle).
What do the Greens/n' Glasee want? Fewer cars in Dublin/B.a.C.? More emission control? More immigrants to supposedly make Erin richer? A greener European Union/Aontas Eorpach ?
Naa. They're against co-location hospitals. Not sure what they are, but I doubt they have anything to do with the climate change CRISIS.

Australia, drought & stupidity
Nice to know Britain's not unique in stupidity about elementary economics.
In the land of Oz, a report has just been issued presenting the current drought as - a business opportunity! Those few areas where there is a good water supply will become sought-after areas for houses! Money money money!
Areas such as Hobart, in Tasmania, and surprisingly Perth on the west coast.
Just one thing - to buy the new house, you usually sell the old house. Since that will be in a dry area, you'll have to sell it cheap, or not at all.
Seems the Ozzie press, like the British, is so dazzled by the idea of PROFIT that they lose all wisdom.
