Protests against Toronto film festival

Just watching an interview with Naomi Klein on Democracy Now about the protests of the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF).
She says that the focus on Tel Aviv, which is 100 years old this year is an attempt to redraw the bad image of Israel.
I think this sound ridiculous. It is obvious, that states like the USA, [...]

German Pirate Party Going Right Wing?

In the German Pirate Party there is a case of somebody (“Bodo Thiesen”) who was voted to as a replacement party judge who in the past has talked like he would deny the holocaust. The board of directors was yet not willing to exclude him from party, although he had been warned to say such [...]

Zimbabwe Cholera

All this suffering for no real reason, just political stupidity. Cholera is one of the diseases which causes are well known and also can be easily treated so nobody would have to die. Clean water would be one core method to cure the illness. But Zimbabwe can not provide this and the politicians seem to [...]

Hillary is haunting us

Why on earth do i get the “news” every day that Hillary miht become the secretary of state – that it is highly likely and so on and so on. I am tired of it. Either she gets it or not – the news that it may  be likely was out a week ago – [...]

The Obama posting

This posting I do because I think it would be good for the world we all live in to have Obama as next US president instead of McCain. And I do not want to let this day go by without posting something in support. Because I would not have done this I might regret it. So here it is.

McCain calls for attacks on USA if Obama wins?

Just now (2008-10-24) McCain on a rally said that if Obama will get elected the USA will be tested by other countries. This means McCains calls on terrorists and foreign countries to attack the USA if he does not win. This is very dirty. How stupid can someone be?

Republicans lost debate

Why did they? Well, actually it was not that much about Biden vs. Palin, but important thing was to find out which ticket people could trust if they voted for it. So Palins task was to convince people that McCain/Palin will do things  better. That, I did not hear today. Palin was too busy surviving [...]

Democrats dont need to worry about upcoming debate

I will be watching the debate between Palin and Biden later (3am in the morning here). As CNN reports that some democrats are worried that Palin would be unexpectedly strong in the debate I like to through in my 5 cents: If you look on what McCain and Palin did wrong in a short period [...]

McCains problem 5 weeks before election

McCains problem with the situation now is that it is rather unlikely that he can show people that he is better handling the economic crisis than Obama. He has only this chances: One that the crisis will fade away from the minds of the voters as things may seem not to be that worse till [...]

Arent political analysation essentially sexist and racist?

There has been a lot of talk of what some candidates in the 2008 US election said or did not say and what it meant. But if you look how polls are done and how they are interpreted they often talk about things like “white men voters” against other races or sexes. But isnt what [...]
