E cosi', rientrato a casa ho celebrato l'anniversario anch'io ascoltando una delle innumerevoli compilation esistenti.

Qualche anno fa, in parlamento si discuteva di alti temi: riforme istituzionali ed elettorali. Il paese si appassiono' immeditamente al primo tema, mentre nula gli fregava del secondo. Si arrivo' ad interrogazioni parlamentari sul comportamento degli arbirti alla domenica. Allora, Curzio Maltese scrisse uno dei piu' memorabili fondi che io abbia mai letto: gli italiani se ne fottono della politica, e l'unica cosa cui si appassionano davvero e' il calcio.

This is still a society where a central goal is to be "sistemato" — secured in a paid position, preferably not too labor intensive, that can be held for life and, if possible, passed on to the children.&lt;br /&gt;But is such deep attachment to stability tenable? The general consensus is no. For Italy to survive in a global economy, now that it can no longer devalue the lira to boost its exports, it must become more efficient, more flexible, more precarious. It must dislodge the "sistemati" or get them to work harder. The same is true in much of the rest of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;Such stasis is anathema to Americans, for whom risk, movement and personal ambition are fundamental. Immigrants, who propel constant shifts, protested, too, in recent days, but their banners, saying "We Are America," proclaimed an essential truth: The United States is about the endless possibility of self-reinvention through hard work.

Trattati troppo spesso non come ospiti graditi, come padroni di casa quali sono, ma come rompicoglioni (cito un altro nostro ex ministro, Scajola): i maltollerati da funzionari overworked and understaffed, dotati di attrezzature tecnologiche da Regno Sabaudo, con fondi tagliati da un governo che non esita a spendere centinaia di migliaia di euro per un'inutile missione elettorale di Berlusconi a Washington, ma non trova i soldi per un cancelliere, un computer, un impiegato di concetto, una linea telefonica in più.&lt;br /&gt;Non credo che l'Italia fuori dall'Italia sia di sinistra. Il primo voto degli italiani all'estero è stato un voto contro il governo, qualsiasi governo gli fosse capitato tra le dita ed è patetico dire oggi che la destra ha perso perché si sono presentati con manciate di simboli mentre l'Unione era, almeno in Nord America, sola. Se la Destra si è sminuzzata è perché la sua arroganza, la sua certezza, erano totali e credevano di giocarsi tra di loro la partita.&lt;br /&gt;Il voto è stato un grido di rabbia che tanti hanno accumulato contro chi li ha sempre ignorati, al massimo trattati con condiscendenza, con una visita pastorale tra marcette, coccarde, pizze e retorica da "mamma luntana". Se il povero ministro Tremaglia che si aspettava una messe di deputati e senatori di destra e passerà invece alla storia come l'artefice della strombatura di Berlusconi, è un segnale di quanto profonda sia la loro insoddisfazione per il Paese che hanno lasciato, per libera decisione o per necessità e nel quale molti di loro, medici, biologi, fisici, chimici, specialisti di informatica vorrebbero anche tornare, se non temessero di essere trattati da idioti.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114494110295542892?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114494110295542892/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114494110295542892&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114494110295542892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114494110295542892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/04/bigpumpkins.html' title='BigPumpkins'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114493976585162452</id><published>2006-04-13T09:39:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-04-13T10:07:19.646-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Elezioni dall'Estero</title><content type='html'>Su Slate una bella &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2139818/"&gt;collezione di articoli della stampa di vari paesi su elezioni italiane e ripercussioni delle stesse&lt;/a&gt;.

Da notare negli USA un generale senso di ironica soddisfazione al pensiero che un evento simile al risultato elettore in Florida nel 2000 si ripeta in altre parti del mondo.

Prima, gli eterei &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/bowerbirds"&gt;Bowerbirds&lt;/a&gt;. Tre giovini, con musica e voci dolci e delicate. Si faranno.  Dopo e' toccato ai poproccheggianti &lt;a href="http://www.therosebuds.com/"&gt;Rosebuds&lt;/a&gt;. Il loro ultimo album, Birds Make Good Neighbors, contiene del pop che potrebbe vendere a palate. Si tratta di capire se il duo/coppia formato da &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/therosebuds"&gt;Ivan Howard e Kelly Crisp&lt;/a&gt; riuscira' a fare breccia sul pubblico radiofonico di teenager. A giudicare dall'eta' media al concerto, li vedo ben messi. Tanto sono pop in studio, tanto si danno al rock dal vivo. Ivan ha la personalita' della rockstar nata mentre Kelly sembra piu' tranquilla (ma io sospetto lei fornisca una buona fetta della creativita' musicale). Dal vivo si accompagano con un batterista strepitoso (Lee Waters) che li mantiene ad alto ritmo per tutti i 75 minuti dello show.  Aprile i Rosebuds lo passano in Europa...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114416671623005977?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114416671623005977/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114416671623005977&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114416671623005977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114416671623005977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/04/home-players.html' title='Home Players'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114356342118953973</id><published>2006-03-28T11:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-03-28T11:30:22.786-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Solos</title><content type='html'>Ieri sera, nella culla del gatto, due uomini e tre chitarre. Apre &lt;a href="http://www.patrickpark.net/"&gt;Patrick Park&lt;/a&gt;, ragazzone nato in Colorado ma trapiantato a Los Angeles. Chitarra acustica eoce davvero stupenda, ma il ragazzo si strugge e si angustia un po' troppo per i miei gusti; verrebbe da dirgli "cheer up and relax, man". Forse col tempo.&lt;br /&gt;Poi si passa a &lt;a href="http://bobmould.com/"&gt;Bob Mould&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bobmould.com/media/images/mouldlogo72dpi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://bobmould.com/media/images/mouldlogo72dpi.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Chitarra acustica a batteria prima, e fender azzurra poi, &lt;a href="http://bobmould.com/biography/"&gt;Bob ha 46 anni&lt;/a&gt; ma tanta voglia di suonare. Parte con Wishing Well e si muove avanti e indietro nella sua discografia con gran piacere, suo e del pubblico. Siamo in pochi, forse un centinaio, piu' o meno comodamente seduti e abbastanza quieti. Lui cerca la chiacchera, ma poi si arrende all'umore del pubblico. Ne viene fuori uno show molto intimo e assolutamente strepitoso. Bob da l'impressione di divertirsi molto, e il pubblico e' in sollucchero, il tutto per novanta minuti. Alla fine, mette giu' le chitarre, si siede sul bordo del palco, ed e' pronto a chiaccherare e firmare copie dei dischi per chi ne abbia voglia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114356342118953973?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114356342118953973/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114356342118953973&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114356342118953973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114356342118953973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/03/solos.html' title='Solos'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114321873166260243</id><published>2006-03-24T11:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-03-24T11:45:31.690-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Tribuna Politica International II</title><content type='html'>Nella seconda &lt;a href="http://www.international.rai.it/speciali/voto2006/tribune.shtml"&gt;tribuna elettorale per gli Italiani all'estero&lt;/a&gt;, Terza Circoscrizione (America Centrale e Settentrionale), &lt;a href="http://www.international.rai.it/speciali/voto2006/ram/20060317_newyork.ram"&gt;si sono fronteggiati a New York&lt;/a&gt;: Augusto Sorriso, &lt;a href="http://www.antoniocardillo2006.org/"&gt;Antonio Cardillo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://udcusa.net/bio_paradiso.htm"&gt;Berardo Paradiso&lt;/a&gt;, Salvatore Rappa, &lt;a href="http://domserafini.com/"&gt;Domenico Serafini&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.silvanamangione.org/"&gt;Silvana Mangione&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114321873166260243?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114321873166260243/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114321873166260243&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114321873166260243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114321873166260243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/03/tribuna-politica-international-ii.html' title='Tribuna Politica International II'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114304450908160148</id><published>2006-03-22T10:50:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-03-23T09:32:46.726-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Tribuna Politica International</title><content type='html'>Altro che Romano contro Silvio!

Pare che il cocktail di medicinali usati entri in azione troppo lentamente violando la legge che vieta "cruel and unusual punishment". Gli avvocati di Morales hanno quindi ottenuto che un giudice intimasse allo stato della California di cambiare la composizione dei medicinali, o in laternativa di avere un anestesista presente all'esecuzione per rendere il condannato incosciente prima della somministrazione delle droghe. Il giudice ha nominato due anestesisti e l'esecuzione era programmata per ieri notte.

Quest'anno conduce Cordelia Scaife May che ha lasciato in eredita' a varie associazione la modica cifra di 404 milioni di dollari; in seconda posizione Bill e Melinda Gates, che hanno donato alla loro fondazione la bellezza di 320 milioni di dollari. Altri famosi nella top ten sono George Soros (205,9 milioni), David Rockfeller (225 milioni),e Michael Bloomberg (144 milioni). Ted Turner, con 67,6 milioni di dollari, e' solo quindicesimo. L'ebbrezza del donare, e' cosi' &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2136384/"&gt;descritta da Turner a Sebastain Mallaby&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Ted Turner always got a buzz from giving. I had breakfast with him once in a sedate Washington hotel, and he explained how charity could juice him. He'd made his first big donation back in the 1980s, and his hand had trembled uncontrollably as he signed away his chances of becoming the world's richest man. But having given money away once, he found he wanted to give more; charity became compulsive. As Turner explained this, he yelled and waved his arms around for emphasis, alarming the sleepy breakfasters at nearby tables. Giving could be an addiction, like alcohol or drugs, Turner proclaimed. "Like sex!" he roared enthusiastically.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114044995612413570?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114044995612413570/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114044995612413570&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114044995612413570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114044995612413570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/02/generosi.html' title='Generosi'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114018923367165217</id><published>2006-02-17T10:13:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-02-17T10:23:42.156-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Costs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/WNT/IraqCoverage/story?id=1629118"&gt;Ieri l'amministrazione di georgdabliu ha richiesto extra 65 miliardi di dollari per la guerra in Afghanistan e Iraq&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N16320151.htm"&gt;Questo porta il totale speso sinora a 400 miliardi di dollari, e se ne prevedono 500 per la fine del 2007&lt;/a&gt;.

Viene da chiedersi cosa sarebbe successo se invece di "vincere cuori e menti" con un'operazione militare uno avesso cercato di comprarle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114018923367165217?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114018923367165217/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114018923367165217&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114018923367165217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114018923367165217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/02/costs.html' title='Costs'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114012948276144724</id><published>2006-02-16T17:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-02-16T17:38:02.803-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Wrong Time, Wrong Place</title><content type='html'>Su Slate, &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2136422/"&gt;Dahlia Lithwick parla di tre recenti rapporti su Guantanamo&lt;/a&gt;. Diversamente da &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4718724.stm"&gt;quello odierno tutto incentrato su casi di tortura contro i prigionieri&lt;/a&gt;, i primi due riguardano la situazione legale dei prigionieri e la sostanza delle accuse nei loro confronti. &lt;a href="http://nationaljournal.com/about/njweekly/stories/2006/0203nj2.htm"&gt;Corine Hegeland sul National Journal&lt;/a&gt; descrive i dossiers riguardanti 132 prigionieri. La stragrande maggioranza di questi prigionieri non puo essere collegata a nessun atto ostile nei confronti degli Stati Uniti. &lt;a href="http://nationaljournal.com/about/njweekly/stories/2006/0203nj4.htm"&gt;Tra questi 132 ci sono molti esempi di "colpevolezza per associazione"&lt;/a&gt;. Un secodno studio, redatto da un professore di legge in collaborazione con uno degli avvocati difensore di alcuni dei prigionieri, &lt;a href="http://law.shu.edu/news/guantanamo_report_final_2_08_06.pdf"&gt;raggiunge simili conclusioni&lt;/a&gt;. In sostanza, pare proprio che per la maggior parte dei prigionieri di Guantanamo la detenzione sia probabilmente il risultato dell'essere nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato (per non parlare del fatto che il governo americano pagavo somme esorbitanti a chiunque gli consegnasse un terrorista). Nell'analisi della Lithwick, nessuno dei motivi citati per non liberare i prigionieri makes sense. Quale la ragione di queste detenzioni, dunque?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;The only real justification for the continued disgrace that is Guantanamo is that the government refuses to admit it's made a mistake. Releasing hundreds of prisoners after holding them for four years without charges would be big news. Better, a Guantanamo at which nothing has happened in four years. Better to drain the camp slowly, releasing handfuls of prisoners at a time. Last week, and with little fanfare, seven more detainees were let go. That brings the total number of releasees to 180, with 76 transferred to the custody of other countries. Are these men who are quietly released the "best of the worst"? No. According to the National Journal one detainee, an Australian fundamentalist Muslim, admitted to training several of the 9/11 hijackers and intended to hijack a plane himself. He was released to his home government last year. A Briton said to have targeted 33 Jewish organizations in New York City is similarly gone. Neither faces charges at home.&lt;br /&gt;Guantanamo represents a spectacular failure of every branch of government. Congress is willing to pass a bill stripping courts of habeas-corpus jurisdiction for detainees but unwilling to probe what happens to them. The Supreme Court's decision in Rasul v. Bush conferred seemingly theoretical rights enforceable in theoretical courtrooms. The right to challenge a government detention is older than this country and yet Guantanamo grinds on.&lt;br /&gt;It grinds on because the Bush administration gets exactly what it pays for in that lease: Guantanamo is a not-place. It's neither America nor Cuba. It is peopled by people without names who face no charges. Non-people facing non-trials to defend non-charges are not a story. They are a headache. No wonder the prisoners went on hunger strikes. Not-eating, ironically enough, is the only way they could try to become real to us.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-114012948276144724?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/114012948276144724/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=114012948276144724&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114012948276144724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/114012948276144724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/02/wrong-time-wrong-place.html' title='Wrong Time, Wrong Place'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-114012182611012175</id><published>2006-02-16T15:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-02-16T15:30:26.136-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Drinking Arguments</title><content type='html'>Sul NYTimes, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/15/dining/15pour.html"&gt;Eric Asimov scrive di brunelli tradizionali e brunelli moderni&lt;/a&gt;.

La storia in se e' degna di un film di Toto': le quaglie in questione crescono in cattivita' e non hanno ali e la caccia avviene in macchina. Le battute si sprecano e, al solito, il meglio viene da &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml"&gt;Jon Stewart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;The vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington.

JC e' stato remerkable; un po' dylaniano un po' davidgray, ottima voce, e band di accompagnamento che macina. Lui ha un look un po' alla tomwaits, e l'avvocato l'ha definito "very radio ready"; una predizione che anch'io credo si avverera'. Lo show mi e' piaciuto abbastanza da comprare il CD di Idols of Exile seduta stante. Feist, dopo un'apparizione per duettare con JC, si presenta da sola e inizia con sola voce. La ragazza ha una voce da sballo, e questa volta ha anche un'ottima band di accompagnamento. Avendola ascoltata dal vivo e su disco, devo dire che di solito dal vivo e' molto meglio (il disco e' a volto un po' artificiale). La prima mezzora e' davvero bella, poi il tutto si e' afflosciato un po'. Concerto comunque bello.

La partita sara', io temo, molto noiosa. Adesso, &lt;a href="http://www.tradesports.com/"&gt;gli scommettitori dicono che Pittsburgh vince con piu' del 60% di probabilita'&lt;/a&gt;. Io sono piu' o meno daccordo, ma guardero' lo stesso. Infatti, dopo qualche anno di assenza, ci sara' un piccolo Superbowl party chez Zio. Il menu' prevede: hummus (fatto in casa) e salsa (comprata) con tortilla chips e patatine di diversi tipi, bruschetta, chili vegetariano, insalata, e dolce a sorpresa. Junk food, ma dietetico, tanto per capirci. Da bere: birre (Sierra Nevada e Yuengling), ma soprattutto vino a fiumi (junk food va bene, ma junk alchool non se ne parla proprio). Il pubblico sara' di una decina di persone, di cui forse 4 o 5 guarderanno la partita con interesse. Nazionalita' sparse, europei a maggioranza, con al massimo un paio di americans. Oggetto del vedere sara' non solo la partita, ma le pubblicita', e lo show all'intervallo (Rolling Stones dal vivo). Il tutto avviene a casa mia grazie al seguente oggetto, capace di ricevere segnali TV ad alta definizione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

They know what it is like to fight house to house in a maze of streets … to wear heavy gear in the desert heat … to see a comrade killed by a roadside bomb. And those who know the costs also know the stakes. Marine Staff Sergeant Dan Clay was killed last month fighting the enemy in Fallujah. He left behind a letter to his family, but his words could just as well be addressed to every American. Here is what Dan wrote: “I know what honor is. It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to…. Never falter! Don’t hesitate to honor and support those of us who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; Staff Sergeant Dan Clay’s wife, Lisa, and his mom and dad, Sara Jo and Bud, are with us this evening.

Primo, perche' si tiene davanti all'intero parlamento, e quindi contiene un sacco e una sporta di retorica messa li solo per ricevere gli applausi dei parlamentari. Il presidente dice: ''Questa e' la nazione migliore del mondo" e giu' gli applausi a scena aperta che mica vuoi farti vedere che non pensi che sia vero. Ricordo il mio primo State of the Unione address. Trattavasi di george padre, e l'ammontare di retorica diede allo stomaco. Ero fresco fresco di arrivo in questo paese (inizio '92) e mi chiedevo come diavolo si fa a sopportare un'ora filata di discorsi simili. E non pensate che siano solo i Rupublicans, che Clinton in quanto a retorica manco scherzava.  La verita e' che nessuno ascolta. E' puro show. Come nota &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2135101/"&gt;John Dickerson su Slate, e' il discorso piu' sciocco dell'unione&lt;/a&gt;, con toni celebratori piu' da monarchia che da stato repubblicano. Al massimo ci saranno un paio di catchphrases da poter essere utilizzate dalle prime pagine dei giornali e da tutti i commentatori (axis of evil, per esempio). Io, come faccio da anni, non guardero'.

A portion of the price ($.50 per glass and $2.00 per bottle) of the Bottles of Change featured wines, identified on the list above, will be donated to the month’s charity. It’s a painless way to give to charity, and you get to enjoy a glass of wine for your good work. Not bad. And, if you’d like to give a little more to the featured charity, we’ve placed a bottle (for change) at the front door so you can drop coins, bills, or checks in it as you make your way out the door. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho donato in abbondanza: un Barbaresco del '99 (Produttori) e un Petit Sirah del '01 (Sean Thackery, Sirius).

Lei e' una cantautrice, astro nascente del country rock alternativo. A bundle of energy, che sul palco appare molto diversa dal melodico suono in studio. Grande voce, cui un po' di raucedine ieri sera dava un tono alla Janis Joplin. Parlando di voce, Son Volt e' una rodata macchina da rock con toni country, al cui centro si trova la voce del leader indiscusso Jay Farrar. Voce dal tono elettrico e rilassato allo stesso tempo. Cosi' e' il concerto, che passa da toni initimi a uno scatenato country psichedelico.

The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex.

We should take nothing for granted.

Cosi' tipicamente Americano che si possa avere il diritto di entrare in questo paese solo per culo. Detto questo, lo scopo della lotteria e' di aumentare la diversita' di origine dei residenti. Non sono ammessi cittadini di paese come Cina e India che sono gia' ben rappresentati, mentre sono ammessi cittadini di Libia, Siria, e Corea del Nord. In sostanza, basta avere un diploma liceale e una foto in formato elettronico per fare &lt;a href="http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1318.html"&gt;domanda&lt;/a&gt;. Le probabilita' di vincere sono molto piu' alte di quelle dell'Enalotto: 1 su 118. La &lt;a href="http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1322.html"&gt;lotteria per il 2007 e' in corso&lt;/a&gt; (le domande venivano accettate fino ai primi di Dicembre dell'anno scorso) e tra non molto i sorteggiati riceveranno una lettera dal Dipartimento di Stato.

O forse lo e' sempre stato e sono io ad essere ignorante. Ci vuole un'arte tutta particolare per saper scrivere racconti. Bisogna saper andare al sodo in fretta, ma allo stesso tempo dare spessore ai personaggi. Pochi scrittori sono diventati acclamati per i loro racconti. Tutto questo per dire che i racconti di &lt;a href="http://members.aol.com/MunroAlice/"&gt;Alice Munro&lt;/a&gt; rappresentano genio puro. Ho appena finito di leggere &lt;a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/vintage/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375703638"&gt;The Love of a Good Woman&lt;/a&gt; (tradotto &lt;a href="http://www.einaudi.it/einaudi/ita/catalogo/scheda.jsp?isbn=978880617515&amp;ed=87"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;) ed e' senza dubbio un capolavoro. Capolavoro di uso della lingua. Capolavoro nel saper catturare l'interesse del lettore in poche righe e non lasciarselo piu' sfuggire. Non sono un critico, e quindi tutto quel che posso fare e' mettere qualche link a &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/11/01/reviews/981101.01gorrat.html"&gt;recensioni&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://extras.denverpost.com/books/book436.htm"&gt;varie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?0-375-70363-2"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 100px;" src="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?0-375-70363-2" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il passaggio di seguito, e' tratto da Jakarta, una delle storie in The Love of a Good Woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;There is an unpaved crescent road serving the houses, and joined at either end to Marine Drive. The enclosed semicircle is full of tall trees and an undergrowth of ferns and salmonberry bushes, and various intersecting paths, by which you can take a shortcut out to the store on Marine Drive. At the store Kath and Sonje will buy takeout French fries for lunch. More often it's Kath who makes this expedition, because it's a treat for her to walk under the trees--something she can't do anymore with the baby carriage. When she first came here to live, before Noelle was born, she would cut through the trees nearly every day, never thinking of her freedom. One day she met Sonje. They had both worked at the Vancouver Public Library a little while before this, though they had not been in the same department and had never talked to each other. Kath had quit in the sixth month of pregnancy as you were required to do, lest the sight of you should disturb the patrons, and Sonje had quit because of a scandal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; Or, at least, because of a story that had got into the newspapers. Her husband, Cottar, who was a journalist working for a magazine that Kath had never heard of, had made a trip to Red China. He was referred to in the paper as a left-wing writer. Sonje's picture appeared beside his, along with the information that she worked in the library. There was concern that in her job she might be promoting Communist books and influencing children who used the library, so that they might become Communists. Nobody said that she had done this--just that it was a danger. Nor was it against the law for somebody from Canada to visit China. But it turned out that Cottar and Sonje were both Americans, which made their behavior more alarming, perhaps more purposeful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19519873-113693183912492382?l=loziodamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/113693183912492382/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19519873&amp;postID=113693183912492382&amp;isPopup=true' title='19 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/113693183912492382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19519873/posts/default/113693183912492382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loziodamerica.blogspot.com/2006/01/readings.html' title='Readings'/><author><name>Zio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03510756897363335026</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19519873.post-113690126416085448</id><published>2006-01-10T08:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-10T08:54:24.173-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Prison Peace</title><content type='html'>Su Slate, in una serie di cui oggi appare la seconda puntata, &lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2133918/entry/2133919/"&gt;Julian Davis Mortenson descrive la vita all'interno della prigione del tribunale delle Nazioni Unite a Scheveningen&lt;/a&gt;, sulla costa Olandese.

Da un lato la difesa del Texas ha tenuto sotto controllo i running backs di USC (uno di loro ha vinto il premio di miglior giocatore di football di college qualche giorno fa). Dall'altro il quarterback di Texas, tale Vince Young di cui gli appassionati di football sentiranno parlare molto molto presto, che da solo ha messo sotto la difesa avversaria: &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060105/ap_on_sp_co_ga_su/fbc_t25_rose_bowl"&gt;200 yard di corsa e 267 yard di passaggi&lt;/a&gt;.
