In today ... Cockle



We can (can) make to you, but the Civil War was won some and lost others. That's right.

There was never a message sent to the media since the Negrin government in Valencia (on the other hand, fled to France weeks before the war ended) announcing the triumph of those loyal to the Republic. The historical truth is that the message came from Burgos and triumphantly proclaimed the triumph of the national troops.

now left Gramscian ZETAPAD and revisionist attempts to change history with the complicity of a court star (if we're lucky to become stars, like anise) unaware of the amnesty laws of 1977, the Constitution and the most elementary principles of criminal prosecution. Fortunately, the end is inhibited in the case, probably because President George W. Bush comes to an end and decided to prosecute the war in Iraq, which have more importance the media. Or maybe you're thinking about the process to JFK Bay of Pigs invasion, Nixon and the Vietnam War or the invasion Hiroito Japanese in China. Or all at once, in a bold legal-historical mishmash fool. We will see in the coming weeks.

I'll say it clear enough so that everyone understands: We won the war. Yes, us. Obviously I was not there, but I won as the won my grandfather, an officer of the army. Whenever I go to my brother in northern Spain, I keep seeing the portrait of my grandfather R. with uniform (I think) commander. It is a picture well after the war, I think of the time when he was professor of the Military Academy in the early 50's. This portrait I've seen all my life, since before I was in Zaragoza at my grandparents. If he enlisted in 1936 was because he believed in something. My grandfather was anything but a coup.

was a cruel war in which more than one million English were killed and more still had to go. Was it a mistake? The error was the perpetuation of Franco in power, not the seizure of power in itself. The way to reach that power is not the least of it, but some dictators of the time they reached the government through elections, and were far worse (and for that very much shorter) than Franco. Theoretically (only theoretically) the government of Hitler would be legitimized by elections, while the Franco, for having taken up arms against the Republic. And I think there is little doubt what was the most brutal regime in the history of mankind.

The big mistake was staying after Franco won the war. Instead of leaving the country in civilian hands that led Spain to a democracy that engages all after finishing with the historical mistake of the Second Republic (a good idea in a country not ready for that), decided it was there why I will go now that I'm the fucking love? Almost 40 years lost and isolated from the world in the midst of priests, soldiers and phalanges (although these did not last long).

For those who think that saying "mine won the war "And the latter think about Franco's dictatorship is a contradiction, which read a bit about unfortunate history of the Second English Republic , especially the parts where the PSOE a coup d'etat on October 7, 1934 or supported the October Revolution of 34 also (or Indalecio Prieto Caballero and others), or the proclamation of "estat catalá " also in this beautiful month of October 34. The two years of the CEDA and the Radical Party was a hell just for the action of the PSOE, always so respectful of the opinions of others. By the way, do not remember this when the hysterical memory.

However, since we will review the history, this year 2008 has been prolific in anniversaries: On a completely sterile and dispassionate view, we can conclude that the War of Independence was as illegal as it may have been the Civil War, since we can not ignore the legitimate king of Spain was José I Bonaparte from the June 6, 1808.

Or was legitimate thanks (or blame) for events Bayonne? Was not there a series of resignations that led to the result that José I'd just as the legitimate king of Spain? As Judge yourself by rising up against the legally constituted power The Stubborn , generals and Brown Palafox, Agustina de Aragón, masters Daoiz and Velarde, Lt. Ruiz ... even the Duke of Wellington. Warrants Cúrsense parishes, civil registries and other agencies to certify whether Palafox is dead (just in case) as a step prior to processing by coup. And desentierrese poor French soldiers executed in any road, ditch or wall of the cemetery that a blunderbuss and slashes fell victims of cruel English repression. What is that to dedicate streets and squares in Spain May 2, Independence, dancing or Sites of Zaragoza? Are Napoleon, Murat or fallen soldier gabacho anonymous law enforcement matters which they should have names plates that give name to the ways of our cities.

Obviously, all this would be a total nonsense. But it would be an exercise in pure historical consistency: Pepe Botella (who was a teetotaler, by the way) was as legitimate as could be ana. What was the one, it was the other.

you know? To my knowledge no member of my family in the gutters. There is a brother of my grandfather who died in the war whose body was never found, though. About whether I would like to have her tested for DNA to each skull or each phalanx (not second) of the toe that is out there to see if it is him, because I would peel it a lot, obviously. While I can understand those who want to take the bones of their relatives under the earth. I can applaud you do, even with government assistance. Now, we get some and took others. Nationalist Spain committed excesses and atrocities committed as Republican Spain. Although the truth is not going to find many traces of the 30 people were thrown alive and kicking at the lions and tigers Wild Animal House Retreat in 1936, recreating the Roman Colosseum in the Czech revolutionary Madrid. This is not spoken, and not talking about the shot in Paracuellos del Jarama, breaking out in Barbastro in ... throughout Republican Spain, and rushed.

History is written by the victors. Clear as Franco's regime manipulated the war in their interests, is now allegedly "remanipularla" again to pass off as "good " Republicans. And the truth is that talking about good and bad in a civil war is like talking about if you want more Dad or Mom: They were all English and all fighting for Spain, each in its concept and idea of \u200b\u200bit. And so therefore it was error for 40 years considered as good to those of Franco and as bad for the Republicans, like trying to do now to reverse.

One thing is certain, clear, clear, incontrovertible: Some won and others lost. And that, although not like many, is what happened. Claim now made up the story again to make to win the losers (although all lost) is a folly that can only be in a documentary so stupid and implausible as the one who made those The Sixth ("Hitler walking Cibeles? The Real Madrid CF is called only?) as a consequence of the militancy that make Mediapro chain and in his pamphlet "Pubic " of republicanism and anti-Catholicism papanatoide outdated. I myself am a Republican and I'm not Catholic, but I'm not an asshole, and the Republic I do not look anything like they want them. And of course, let alone the Republic 1931.

But of course: How could I forget and not mention until now that ZETAPAD has a grandfather shot by the fascist hordes ? That's the key: The leader of the "Alliance of Civilizations " is not capable of marrying views civilized in their own country, the leader cosmic dialogue between East and West do not know with whom they talk so in Spain since November 1975. With who in 1977 decided to close the wounds almost 40 years earlier. Prefer to reopen the scars (which otherwise could not care piquillo peppers almost everyone) to stop dedicating a street in León to his grandfather.

crisis Nunc est Bibendum


Are not you to the very of the crisis? I do not mean its obvious implications for the economy, but to cover "media" of it. We have a crisis at the minute. Most of us learned in each newscast live each standing entering the ranks of the INEM, every penny we raise iceberg lettuce (never hated enough), or each can of tuna not bought in a supermarket. The news is full of spam we swallow with potatoes watching TV without flinching.

Any day will come to interview in Telecinco a can of cockles from Carrefour live and exclusive: " And you notice the crisis? " and cockles, all at once, answered yes, what happens to that previously sold most cockles in vinegar. Or better yet, invite a sensible debate cockles on the crisis whore " Before the housewife (or master, in my case) is carrying a pack of three cans, people spent in the cockles did not ... now, banks and noncredit cheerfully and we are in the linear, the Stockers not take away the dust, or anything . "

And it's not easy being a cockle today in pre-recession period.

crisis is omnipresent. Speak do not know what the news when it clears, but the fact is that so far have found a vein to fill two-thirds of the program. You reach the bullshit interview a sweeper Madrid and ask if you notice that there is less mess because people consume less ... and the very idiot goes and says yes. The suggestion to power, I do not know if it's geek who responds or does it petarda cojopregunta : Five years in the Faculty of Journalism of Pamplona for it. I see Madrid just always dirty or as clean when compared to other cities.

The fact is that the Duchess Consort came to chez moi Madriz this weekend, and went on Saturday. Dinner at Thai Gardens Paseo de la Habana with some friends from the sea of \u200b\u200bfriendly here, and then the Serrano 41 a gin & tonic criminal of "Tanqueray? in glass tube, which would you take a look at a pharmacy. I had long ago dropped out there and did not know that now the children's time is up to four or five.

But what was, what crisis or do nothing? All peta people, hear. The initial plan was to have tapas in La Latina or so, but it was impossible to park, and parking lots full. After booking in the Thai (which made them about Progress was impossible to see what the tapas at Cava Baja), and it was for half past eleven became a dinner at noon because ... was packed.

So where the hell is the crisis? Is the crisis is for the cockles of Carrefour? If this is an example of the real economy, we must say that the economy must go joke. While our

superpresidente take toilet paper felt the bathrooms in the White House while to rebuild the modern capitalism (the Capitalism Civilizations), all Spain was for dinner and drinks on Saturday night spending which supposedly does not have. In Madrid everything was packed. In Zaragoza always all full, less evil than the post-expo would be super-duper. Even Berantevilla (Alava), where he was my grandmother, had to be everything to stop. And the cockles of Carrefour, the poor, in a dark linear wan no one to buy.

The truth is that except for those who have the misfortune of losing their jobs (and some that I know, I know you who spent many months without it), there is no crisis. The mortgage payment goes up, but the glasses at 12 or 15 euros does not deprive anyone. The shopping cart through the roof, but the bars and restaurants to stop. The malls are filled every weekend and I say that not all will be gone window shopping, some buy something. And that's the Christmas season has not started yet: I still do not make the announcement The Almond, or the English Court has decreed that we are at Christmas with bright facades.

is true that things have changed in a year, and there is no such joy there. But I get the impression that much of this crisis because the press and especially television. Right now with the crisis, producers of programs to the streets to interview the most wretched, the most freaks, lumpen the most pathetic of our cities, to show "less friendly face of the crisis "as pompously they call a family of Romanians living under a bridge on M-40 in a cardboard box and eat roots, for example.

But there has always been poor. And people in difficulties. There have always been people who become unemployed, and though now greatly increases the downturn in construction, the truth is that many EREs that are occurring do not seem to affect the nightlife, which in theory should be as first thing people are removed when no pasta.

Here all sure it is in recession is Real Madrid, who has joined the fashion and is in a worsening crisis Schuster will probably not eat the nougat in the dock: No matter, which charges and need not go hungry. As there is a theory that says that in times of crisis skirts are too long: He says that when the Real Madrid is doing badly, the country is doing wrong. But this is as scientific as the Pennsylvania groundhog who runs to either side to "say" if you go cold. I can not imagine "The Lancet " or " New England Journal of Medicine " published a comparative study of goals from Raul and the incidence of depression over the crisis.

If this were a real crisis "Tiffany's open its flagship store in Madrid in the noble List? Naturally, we can say that those who buy at the store is never in crisis, even " slight slowdown." But a shop that pays what you pay each month by local not audreyhepburns lives looking at the window of the jewelry after a crazy night: We must sell a lot of diamond or at least EUR 300 bangles lot to BCBGs the Salamanca district to pay the rent and make money.

also Caviar House & Prunier store will open soon in Madrid. So no pasta for cockles but there is for "Beluga 000"?. Then get a crappy crisis is this. It seems the sky is not falling on our heads as feared Vitalstatistix, the head of the village of Asterix.

As usual, crises and other things is a mental state. If you think you are in crisis, sooner or later it'll be for real. Carrefour cockles are convinced they are in peak times while the beluga Caviar House is rubbing his hands, or in this case the eggs, for obvious reasons (pardon the bad joke, I could not help it) as he opens his shop I suppose that also in the middle of the golden mile of the capital.

Carmakers say they are in crisis, but I've never seen so many cars in these "exceptional" as now. On Saturday night I told several Bentley GT, a Ferrari 599 Fiorano, and another 430 on Friday at Atocha red when I went up to the Duchess Consort, a Maserati GT (and several Quattroporte), a gorgeous Aston Martin DBS Casino Royale color, plus the usual Porsches overpopulation. The crisis in its purest form, we will. I know, I know who buys these cars is not in crisis, and anyone who has problems is Renault, Opel and Peugeot. But it is symptomatic or not? It's like what the cockles and beluga caviar 000.

The happy crisis is proving a great excuse to hit that many do not stick, so all stop talking about it and work for a few months only a bad memory as it is now that of 93. Or end up like a can of clams left on the shelves of Carrefour ... until it expires and we throw it away.

PD: We will correct me if I'm wrong, but I told (including the title and this postscript) 27 times the word "CRISIS" in the post .

These verses Piave's libretto for Verdi's La Traviata help me to introduce my friend Gin & Tonic . When I say friend not to say that I spend my life tied to a drink, much less. I am a weekend drinker, exclusively. My weekly dose of alcohol is limited to a few wine dinners on Fridays and Saturdays, and subsequent G & T drinks in those days. As a special concession, a pair of light in the bar from under the house in Prosper match days Champions Real Madrid.

The G & T's that as once said, we have to a certain dose of Generation X (I think we are is the GIN-operation X) in the veins. All my friends (or ALL) drink G & T when they drink 99% of the time, and I think that is because it is almost a symbol generation, as is the witch failure, the Levi's 501 or the VW Golf GTI (the double round headlights end of the 80s and early 90s). And also (and especially) drink it because he's hot.

few days ago, a good friend criticized in his blog Hendrick's gin . Or rather, criticized the G & T made with this gin is flavored with cucumber skin and a slice of it. That gives a smell of the drink that for some could be more like Andalusian gazpacho a long drink. Most recently in Madrid and Zaragoza (do not know elsewhere) have begun to rose petals, or a small rose in the glass. To me, the truth is that it seems excessive to me. Place rose petals then you have to get you out of your mouth that does not really contribute anything to the G & T is a misplaced snobbery, and in this I have to agree with my friend. If you eat the petals, it is not then very nice smile and have bits of pink between the teeth. Contrary to what may seem, the glamor Red Roses has a limit and if you smile and a girl, chances are you suggesting that you brush your teeth before you succumb to your charms.

My G & T with Hendrick's cucumber like me to take one or two at most. With three or more of these just entering the house on all fours, if you hit to get, is that the alcoholic in this gin is higher. One, that many years ago who lives alone, does not have to worry about not wake someone. But when I go to Zaragoza weekends I go to my parents, So there is to be careful not to step on the cat and come live in my bedroom as a teenager. So it is better to continue with Seagram's Tanqueray or the rest of the night, but that mixing drinks is not good at all.

Returning to the classics, the G & T with the rind of lime or lemon is almost insurmountable. The present Duchess consort hates cucumber (and watermelon) and drink the G & T Hendrick's with lemon peel, which is also extraordinary. It is she who suggested me to try the gin Xoriguer , so my parents are taking advantage right now in Mallorca have asked a bottle, which give a thorough account between the two with a Fever Tree tonic and lemon peel (this time take the tonic and I'll come down to " toniquería " on call at odd hours.)

lately also a great friend made me try the G & T Citadelle gin with orange rind. Also delicious, though slightly less acidic and less refreshing course. The world does not stop at the Hendrick's , to the delight of my friend picky.

The snobbery in the G & T has reached esferificar add a gin and tonic, so that the gin blue balls explode in a mouthful of tonic, and mixed. Do much damage bartenders "Adriatic" the simple pleasure of a drink with friends one weekend!. That Drinking let alone to which are added LED lights: If you are a real geek should be beautiful and become then swallow some gastrointestinal radiography lit up like a Christmas tree. "Less is more" said the great director of the Bauhaus Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, and that applies to architecture and drinks, which need not be "deconstructed." The

market for super-premium spirits has been lately to encourage traditional and unchanging world of G & T (if we accept that there is a "world of G & T"). However, this step seems not far distant day that "aromatize" our favorite drink with a red pepper or a couple of cockles in vinegar. Or with a ham bone, as we would a stew rather than a drink. I begin to notice the smell of grilled sardines in the trendy bars when someone comes to ultra-exclusive distilled gin " Mediterranean algae" or knuckle with choucroutte if distilled to "land of Alsace " . I am giving part of the reason to post my dear friend: There is a limit for almost everything, and roses in the G & T are clearly out of it.

If in Europe, and specifically in Spain gin has always been the base of the glasses, vodka in the U.S. has enjoyed for years. But he's not alone, and now Americans are rediscovering that there flavored white spirits. For what does it taste the vodka? Rather anything: An alcohol made from potato skin or grain that has not been used to make biodiesel can not be a big deal, and indeed the traduccción of Russian and Polish vodka of the word is "little water "Even the name is tasteless, odorless and colorless.

However, each brand of gin has its distinctive recipe, and connoisseurs and aficionados (read with an English accent) are able to distinguish the different varieties of berries as part of its composition: not only live juniper gin, and there are so many styles of G & T as white spirits brands. The detail of the scent of cucumber and rose Dutch Bulgaria can have its grace, but beware: From there to cockle or shank into the cup very strong. So

quoting Horace, "Nunc est Bibendum " (drink now) a good Gin & Tonic Gin with our choice, and of course we enjoy bringing it to the owner of " those beautiful eyes that through the heart" (La Traviata. Act I, Scene 1)


The perfect Gin & Tonic, as Medinasidonia:

- A glass of burgundy, or that is not burgundy but at least grow up.
- 8 or 10 ice cubes (not tap water, please).
- Geneva (Hendrick's, Seagram's, Av Wees, G-Vine ...) One of these days I'll try the Xoriguer , developed in Menorca.
- Fever Tree Tonic.
- lime rind (lemon is supported, of course). Two clips

ice, twist of lime rind over the glass, and with the cubes. Then rub the rim of the glass with lime rind. Add the gin (3 / 10), add the root (7 / 10), stir briefly. As shown, this time is " shaken, not shaken ." Of course, Bond does not drink G & T.

I Have My Period And It's Very Mucousy

Rosebud, or what might have been

" If it were not so rich, he could be a good man ", something like Charles Foster Kane snapped his banker. The sobreactuante Orson Welles, which is not exactly one of my actors / directors / writers favorite (and less being buried on the farm of the bullfighter Antonio Ordonez near Ronda) dirigió y protagonizó Ciudadano Kane , una película a mi modesto modo de ver un tanto sobrevalorada aunque considerada por algunos la mejor de la historia del cine. El leitmotiv de la película no es otro que la crónica de la búsqueda por parte del alter ego de William Randolph Hearst de la felicidad, y la conclusión final de que al morir cayó en la cuenta de que su vida podía haber sido distinta y feliz sin su mina de oro, su Enquirer , y su megalomanía desmedida. Simplemente recordó a Rosebud , su trineo allá en las montañas del midwest americano y la felicidad que disfrutó décadas antes, cuando era a poor child.

" If it were not so stupid, it would be at the meeting in Washington " would be interpreted (somewhat forced, I admit) that would ZETAPAD of Rosebud particular. And maybe their momentum fatal was the day on which sat the passage of the American flag in the parade on October 12, 2003. The mononeuronal Bush never forgave him, but the real problem is that no U.S. president (including Barack Obama, if elected) will be forgiven, because in that country are very serious offenses to whoever the symbols ruling party.

When ZETAPAD ceases to exist (God keep you many years so you can see Gallardón or Aguirre, or both, as Prime Minister) the last word is " Columbus, and exegetes of the day try to find out what the odd president meant. The "journalists" PRISA and "journalists" in Public (see I put double quotes because if the first is questionable, others offer no doubt his lack of principles) will try to interpret its meaning, but not fall into that ZETAPAD will refer to that October morning in the Plaza de Colon in Madrid in which sealed his fate for forever.

As time comes Rosebud, here is our president begging for support to attend the November 15 summit that is supposed to rebuild the capitalist system. Even in the serious Financial Times joke about it. In the end there will chair and will place an Ikea stool in the corner of a table, and have to scrounge water bottle to the president of a country that is at hand. Drink "a nose", because you need to have nose and little dignity to beg for a place to take the " afoto ." The invitation is not Bush is not a very personal invitation: If in five years all the dialogue they have had was that unforgettable Jola, ammigou "Texan accent that gave him the American, I do not know how you expect George" Double B "I call for the catering of the meeting will come out more expensive in these times of crisis. And is that ZETAPAD not bring anything Washington summit, but pretend like all dinner and even canapés and croissants in the intermediate coffee breaks. And will eat up a few, because it will be so pathetically hung like that NATO summit in Bucharest a few months ago.

English GDP is the eighth in the world, above for example of Canada, a member of G-8. Canadian views are not that crucial to the global economy, and almost vital dependence on exports to its southern neighbor makes their significance is not to shoot rockets. But Canada is a country that generally sit well with everyone: to start does not insult the other, which is something that has won against ZETAPAD and talkative and pert government, which is making friends everywhere to be a minister or a board member of the PSOE, is white cucumber or Miguel Sebastian.

However, being the eighth world economy gives no right to be invited. It might seem that what defined to be at the meeting is to have a serious economic and respected in the world, but Argentina will be at the meeting as an emerging country (I translate here "emerging" as a state of emergency), which makes this argument is valid. And do not throw me over my Argentine friends, I speak of the government to just steal their pension plans, possibly to pay for Botox injections in his chair, not the country or its inhabitants, despite voting over and over Once the corrupt Peronist I deserve all the respect in the world: here also won ZETAPAD , so we are not free to be idiots.

not be among the ten largest investors abroad gives points, or have a financial system of most (if not most) solid and profitable in the world.

Not at all: What George " unineuronal " Bush (in fact, has two neurons: a breath, and with the other rules) valued as a large country (no I mean emergent) is to have someone of whom it can trust the civilized world. And that's not exactly ZETAPAD " Columbus," I remember the current occupant of the White House. " Columbus," I remember the next, whether Obama or McCain. The Columbus was hastily withdraw English troops from Iraq and recommend to others Tunisia countries to do likewise. Or what is the same, ask the world to leave him alone to "neotonto" Bush. And do not forget it or forget it.

To make matters worse, the friends of pressure are the most loved and popular in civilized cancilllerías: Chavez, Castro, Evo, Correa, Kirchner ... all a guarantee to build trust. A repoker aces of populism, demagogy goebblesiana most ancient and ignorance of the law. We add to this the great contribution to international politics is the "alliance of civilizations" that only continues, to follow something, Erdogan Turkish (named president of medicine for heartburn), and do not forget that someone should have warned that the important thing is to create an "Alliance of Civilizations" is not exactly the same. Rosebud

and Columbus, two symbols of what could have been but was not. A sled named "Rosebud " (a tad cheesy Charles Foster Kane) and a chair in which sat the cocoon ZETAPAD a fateful day in October 2003 with the passage of stars and stripes. those times those of Ansar, in which govern neuron Bush received at his ranch in Texas almost every week with that of "my ammigou " and said the best English accent the suburbs of Dallas as the " stamos in ellou trabahando."

not forget that in addition, is inviting the boss. If I do a party at my house, that party is who I want, is to take a few gin & tonics or to rebuild the capitalist system in the coming decades. And if ZETAPAD plus I do not like me going out there putting green, it does not come. At the end of the day is my house and my party.

Now, Sarkozy Pizpireta ZETAPAD invited to the party. Is that of " I have a friend who is hung do you mind if I take your party ?." The French could give one of the two chairs France (has his own and has the rotating EU presidency) to English. The impresentable ZETAPAD now sell it as a diplomatic success of his administration, when what has come before the world is a pathetic spectacle of diplomatic begging. And economic mendacity to the English election. Further, do in exchange for what? Well, says Le Figaro as , in exchange for anything you want Sarkozy, will be much.

" Rosebud," Kane whispered as she dropped the death of a crystal ball with a snow scene inside.

" Columbus " whisper ZETAPAD when it expires in his chair, while on the ground there will be a parade represetación October 12 as they pass through the Plaza de Colon in Madrid made Airgamer-boys, in which he stands as the American flag passes.

Who's afraid of fierce Bauhaus?


With its eternal white suit, Tom Wolfe is like a caricature of a Southern gentleman in the very Upper East Side, a look perhaps more appropriate to sample a mint julep at the Kentucky Derby a Panama hat or fedora Borsalino, which to stroll through the gray and dirty New York.

A Wolfe ( From Bauhaus to Our House , 1981) does not appear that Grace did the arrival of the gurus of the Bauhaus to the U.S. after the Nazis closed the school that was based in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin: More fans monumentality of Albert Speer, architect of the Reich official, who for the aesthetic revolution the "less is more , the Nazis threw into the arms of the Americans with Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Hannes Meyer, along with other architects and artists fudamentales to understand the art of the twentieth century, who landed in country (Meyer went to Mexico) and developed his aesthetic approach from Chicago or from the school of architecture at Harvard. According to the curious

criterion Wolfe, the glass-boxes that projected one after another, and whose influence has led to skyline of cities such as New York, Toronto or Chicago, disagreed with the traditional American architecture.

not know what that traditional American architecture, because I do not refer to the English style so fashionable at the time (and still is) in California or Florida and as the name suggests, is English. Nor should refer to French-style mansions of the Confederate States, whose name is so precisely because they are just that: French.

So if traditional American architecture Tom Wolfe understands the tipis of the Sioux, I understand that the building Seagram's (super gin, by the way) to Park Avenue and designed precisely by Mies van der Rohe, it is too similar to the tent in which Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull prepared the battle of Little Big Horn and ended with Custer's cavalry.

Wolfe is a bit given the social melodrama but not stupid, so I guess you are referring for instance to Frank Lloyd Wright or Richard Neutra as "traditional American architects, not realizing that both projects would have signed the Bauhaus and vice versa: if Taliesin, the school-residence of Lloyd Wright, integrated place, use and function in what he called "organic architecture" (nothing more organic architecture Fallingwater house ), on the other " how follows function" was the maximum recommended by Mies. Nothing new under the sun shine at the Bauhaus in Weimar or the Taliesin in Wisconsin.

While Tom Wolfe, the influence of Staatliches Bauhaus in architecture, interior design, and art in general to this day, it is essential and extremely important. Wolfe may have at his home in Park Avenue a chair designed by the Americans Charles and Ray Eames, who in the 50s developed concepts and advanced, for example, on chairs or Barcelona Brno Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (created the first for the German pavilion at the exhibition, 1929), or chair Vassily Marcel Breuer designed to Vassily Kandinsky while both were teachers in Bauhaus itself. Both pieces could be signed by the Eames smoothly thirty years later, and then be "traditionally American" would be to the liking of Wolfe.

In an article published there, I have defended the power of architecture to change the perception that the world has over a city. If it had not built Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao as it did (although it is very little or no Bauhaus) and was based on the traditional architecture of Vizcaya, now would be a huge farmhouse in the middle of Bilbao, a woefully inadequate building to house an exhibition of Alexander Calder, for example. And even less adequate to show the "Puppy" by Jeff Koons that guards the entrance. And above all, Bilbao not attract hundreds of thousands of tourists every year who go to see how they change color titanium plates of the building by time of day. Although a village museum can be as good as any other building (see Chillida Leku Hernani), does not transform the life of a city, what can we do. Bilbao

attracts tourists: Are we crazy or what? Is the world upside down? I do not know who fears the Bauhaus fierce, but The Bocho ears applaud the decision to commission the museum to Gehry, the bridge and the airport Calatrava (even with the controversy), the towers and underground Isozaki Foster .

When we go to see a city is mostly architecture that we admire, is a Gothic cathedral or the Eiffel Tower (although it was a chemical engineer Gustave Eiffel, not an architect). The transformation of cities like Barcelona, \u200b\u200bMadrid, Valencia and Zaragoza in recent years in the hands of Top-10 of world architecture (including almost all living Pritzker Prize), has made Spain a sort of outdoor museum of contemporary architecture, such as Chicago or New York as to the architecture of the post-Bauhaus. Talks of 'normal' people in any large city and truffled English names appear as Moneo, Jean Nouvel, Pelli, Hadid, Piano, Koolhaas ... besides those I have named.

architecture is probably the most influential of the arts, along with literature. If it can form and transform our thinking and therefore to act, the architecture affects our environment and how we interact with it. The quality of our environment determines our quality of life (Norman Foster). We move in cities constrained by the architecture, be brilliant or mediocre. We can not spend it as we go (although not find a reason) for painting, for example. Architects and planners are thus becoming the creators of us to enjoy or hate our immediate environment, but ultimately, and precisely because of the enormous importance of architecture are his real political control and therefore responsible for the enjoyment or hatred our urban environment. With the literature can not even attempt it every day. But that's another story.

Speaking of architecture, in many cases a city museum is a work of art in itself so that the continent needs to be part of exposure, even more important than the content. In addition to the Guggenheim, we can not forget the CARS in Madrid, Moneo and Nouvel in two different times, Thyssen de Madrid and remodeling of the Palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa was Moneo also work, or that a new Prado Rafael Moneo added more space to complement the Villanueva building. The architect Navarre seems to have the monopoly of the museums of Madrid, although he instruct Gallardón Alvaro Siza remodeling the Prado-Recoletos, which vary our perception of Moneo's work significantly.

Expo Zaragoza also had some impact in Spain, but what the rest of the world knows or is known -Bridge Pavilion by Zaha Hadid . This construction can take decades for the city an impact comparable to the Eiffel Tower was to Paris. Zaragoza is not saying that Paris, spoke of the importance for the city. And once I said "kill me Mañolandia , but sometimes things are done quite well.

I do not know if a version Wolfe dilettante rather sip a ginger cake or rhubarb in the porch of a French-style mansion in his native Virginia, while listening to the gentle cooing of the songs of the slaves on the plantation. Or maybe I just let him savor your mint julep on Tavern on the Green in Central Park, a very likely site of your choice. In any case, your millions of dollars he would not have to sleep in a tipi , traditional American architecture "authentic."

Meanwhile, with a rod or a cold and without clarita mint julep (I prefer a mojito, and posts), others enjoy the transformation of our cities, aware that the wonders we see (I recognize that not all cases, abuses committed in the name of "modern architecture") originated in a school of applied arts and architecture founded near Weimar. And yes, course also in Frank Lloyd Wright. And Antonio Gaudí. And others that probably do not like to Wolfe.

Bauhaus I do not fear the fierce ... Do you?.

How To Get Rid Of Dark On Lcd

Some come, others go out ... and among the din, I pours in financial Permafrost


Following the agreement reached to clean up banks U.S. and Europe, we get the G-20 summit to redesign the financial system in the next fifty years. mode of Bretton Woods XXI century the summit November to be avoided in the future as the current financial crisis. Not succeed, because the bankers back to designing products and derivatives that within 15 years will once again lead to a situation like the present, or worse.

What is happening now, as I said before, is but the continuation of the tools designed in the 80s. If derivatives are now considerably more sophisticated than junk bonds devised by Michael Milken in Drexell , what awaits us in the next decade will leave subprime mortgages and their coverage as child's play. I hope this blog remains open then, to bring up this post and previous show that "I said" (a phrase I hate, but you're right).

Shouting " greed is good " Milken, Boesky , Levine and other white-collar thieves ruin to millions of savers who had come to the high returns of products. The crash of 87 was fully comparable to the present, if not more. One difference: globalized market contagion make it immediate and worldwide. If you have a stock exchange on Mars, the Martians would be ruined by subprime mortgages on its craters (Although the English construction and would take years to build apartments on Mars and elsewhere in the galaxy). In short, the 80s was not worse or better than that, just playing then and now plays. And will be playing again in fifteen or twenty years. Our leader cosmic

ZETAPAD , meanwhile, is completely devoted to be at the meeting next month. Want to get in the shot and is traveling this week in the last five years. It's pathetic efforts of our leader for taking a picture with rich friends and some poor who will go to U.S. .

Spain, the eighth largest economy in the world will not be present at the conference, and will not be for the same reason that no one was in the "mini-summit " January : Because ZETAPAD not paint anything on the international scene. And not look for their own damn fault.

Years of playing balls to the U.S., France, Germany, Italy ... the entire global world. And the last few days have not helped, and again insisting that the blame of all Americans, and that we are here to save the world. Yesterday the White Cucumber ineffable, while resting vomiting of disgust that gives Real Madrid, made an invaluable service to Spain insists that ZETAPAD must ESAR at the meeting because the fault is the U.S.. Thus, making friends last minute. Only comparable to the ineffable Miguel Sebastian, the never sufficiently weighted-sweep ex-candidate for mayor of Madrid, which also said yesterday that "there are only 13 days Bush, spending soon." You are correct that we finally got rid of Bush, but at the community of neighbors, it is unlikely that the 5 th B inviting us to your party if you remember in each neighborhood council that the above takes out the garbage at inappropriate times, and also robs the attic of the car magazine that every month she receives in the mailbox.

Now ZETAPAD just go, hurry up and running, the EU Summit -Asia, collect (rather to beg) support for their presence. But the key is what the hell makes ZETAPAD the meeting? Absolutely nothing. In fact, if I was not asking to go to U.S. even been dropped by the summit, there will be several European leaders. And is that foreign policy is so ZETAPAD pathetic is matched only by his equally pathetic domestic policy. So what interest can be Gordon Brown , Nicolas Sarkozy , Silvio Berlusconi (collejas another to give to and do not stop) and Angela Merkel in the presence of ZETAPAD ? What are the recipes that can bring the undocumented to the global crisis? But is it a crisis? Is not that a slowdown?

By size of GDP , as one of the ten largest issuers of foreign investment, the strength of banks, for the effective regulation of BoS ... for many reasons Spain would quietly place the U.S. Summit. However, the visionary ZETAPAD not found interesting into the G8. Our Leader considered more interesting to talk with leaders like banana Chavez , Kirschner, Evo Morales, Correa or Castro to do with world leaders. In fact, the President of Spain should be one of those world leaders, as was Aznar not so long ago. González Aznar or as men of state, would not be any problem at the first guests.

Now go get the impression though, is to be the guy to be invited to a wedding commitment. You know, that Aunt second coñazo to inviting, but it feels far from the main table in the children's table. There, all he does is eat and get rolls in the bag, because what happens will not even notice or tell anyone.

Or worse, the impression is the one at school at the party. That is possibly the most pathetic of all. I imagine a waiter at the Plaza in New York to see him and ask " sorry sir, could you show me your invitation? ." There is no danger, my command of Norwegian is better than English ZETAPAD, so will the clueless or to remove Moratinos will attend.

did not invite me, but I was ... around the corner, waited for the moment, do not watch me, and get inside ...

Bridal Shower If You Elope?

The permafrost ground is that in areas like Siberia , is permanently frozen (hence the name, permanent - permanent and - frost, ice cream). Occasionally, I get a frozen mammoth, a brontosaurus bone arrowheads or upper Pleistocene. Now that

permafrost and is neither permanent nor frozen. It seems that climate change is beginning to soften the ground and turn it into a kind of vast sea of \u200b\u200bmud in which more aperecerán mammoths more fibulae of brontosaurus, and more arrowheads. Now we can call " Avecesfrost ."

a couple of years ago, on the occasion of three trips to Siberia I got to see the famous frozen Siberian steppes from the plane. That was when I managed to forget that I was aboard a Tupolev of Aeroflot made in the seventies, and we could fall at any moment. There were leaks (no exaggeration) and reassuring noises. Beside a Spanair flight is a Ferrari ride . The show was awesome , although know that scares aircraft could fall into the area where the last time you saw a human being could have for centuries. And that could end up buried in the sea of \u200b\u200bsticky mud making company to the mammoth where I might find within 7,000 years and scientists argue over the remains of my beautiful jersey of navy cashmere.

Now I have not to worry: Europe, U.S. , Japan, Asia ... Worldwide melts under our feet in a debacle with their only precedents in the stock market crisis of 1929 and 1987 (the October 19, 1987 the DJ fell more than 26%, or is that there is still fabric.) No I have to go to Siberia and get on an old plane that had to go on vacation Tsar Nicholas II to be buried in a thick, sticky mud.

say this financial crisis is only comparable to the Great Depression of the 30's. However I see major differences: For example in 1929 the bankers committed suicide by jumping from the roofs and upper floors of buildings in Lower Manhattan . If they had buried in the nearby Battery Park , now that would be a tourist attraction, not just a tiny oasis in the city and the site where you take the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Island .

But now the bankers take advantage of the debacle to go on holiday on account of the companies that have collapsed. For example, executives of AIG spent a weekend half a million euros in a hotel a few days ago. The Belgian Fortis , more spartan, were limited to a meal in the most expensive hotel Montecarlo by the tightest figure of 150,000 euros: Security in the end managed to close a menu for all to share with them first out cheaper. There is no way to think about shareholders, savers and taxpayers in general belt-tightening in these moments of uncertainty.

is also what must have thought AIG executives " If you have a manicure and pedicure without the new Patek Philippe platinum going to give us the bank is "

As I write this the IBEX 35 falls by 9.5% to below 8,900. Other major European indicators also fall to lead, and DJ yesterday and the Nikkei tonight have been just panicked. The measures being taken are useless because investors think that if they take it because there are far worse back. And if nothing is done, they also think that nothing is done to stop this. In short, money is a coward as they say: money is a shit scared shitless fleeing by foot to a minimum. And I guess it does well: maybe the best mattress on top of a steering Wall Street asking Petrus 1995 at a company account and provides up by the suckers who have paid.

a positive note might be that low oil prices ... but is that the gas hardly move. The excuse of the oil companies is that their stocks are purchased at high prices a few weeks ago, but when it goes up you do not say they have bought at the lowest price previous cheap: It seems that the Chinese had little hidden suppliers and connected to internet , which raised the price of unleaded 95 each time the oil price rose a penny. Now with the crisis, is shed from the Chinese suppliers and no one to download.

Finally fixing things, the IMF predicts a recession in Spain in 2009 which represents a drop of our nominal GDP of 0.2%, in line with countries such as Italy, UK or Ireland. And contraction is extremely serious if not from there in 2010, takes strength to grow back. But in 2010 will our leader cosmic ZETAPAD I "The Pathetic" in power (of course I hope that in addition to ZETAPAD I ZETAPAD also be last) and his deputy Solbes "The pert." That means that in 2010 in Spain will not be made real. It also means that ZETAPAD will not be called to the mountains where things are decided: Our beloved leader is making friends around the world, and so it goes.

So we should not be overly optimistic: In play in the Champions League of the world economy just a year ago, are now trying to stay in first division. Moving to Italy in GDP per capita ... continue to forward only because they make it even worse. And it is terrible to say this, but I think I prefer the Prime Minister to ZP that Berlusconi: At least we do not touch the ass of the Members who are good at their discretion old green.

theory and practice say the crisis is not in itself a bad thing, but something has to come cyclical to cleanse the system. But as we learn (or learn too well), what happens now is just the evolution of what happened in 1987. In this horror stock, which were paid excess characters like Michael Milken or Ivan Boesky , the kings of junk bonds from Drexel Burnham Lambert flooded the bond market as toxic as subprime mortgages now we drown. The new mechanisms have been more sophisticated, but have exploded in four Idaho sad farmers have stopped paying mortgages on their farms.

And in Spain? Well, I do not know how many subprime mortgages in Spain, but does not that sound to give 120% of the appraised value of a house for the purchase of a BMW and go to their holy / or vacation to Cancun or another site where could find up to reponedor of Carrefour ? For all that (also the BMW and travel) must be paid now price Euribor mortgage updated. And if you now have to pay twice as much as three years ago, and did not arrive ... because you're the lucky owner of a beautiful subprime mortgage . I know it.

The permafrost melts under our feet. Nothing new under the sun, on the other.

New Operation Repo Episodes

2h 3m 59s


The Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt this morning managed to beat the world record in the 100 meter dash with a time of 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix, hosted by the New Yorker Ichan Stadium. Bolt and lowered the mark of 9.74 seconds achieved in September by his compatriot Asafa Powell. The new world record holder for 21 years silver medal at the world championship 200 meters, took advantage and at the start and crossed the finish line ahead of actual campeón mundial, Tyson Gay.




El plusmarquista caribeño demostró su potencial y gran estado de forma sobre el tartán azul para cruzar la meta en 9.72 segundos, trece centésimas más rápido que el norteamericano, que tuvo un tiempo de llegada de 9.85 segundos. Tras cruzar la meta, Bolt reflejó su alegría y reconoció exultante que "confíaba en que podía correr en marca de récord del mundo", por lo que el resultado iba a suponer un importante espaldarazo moral a su preparación, pues "no venía aquí buscando una plusmarca mundial, pero vino hoy y hay que aprovecharla".


No ha sido una sorpresa


However, Bolt brand comes as a surprise, because this month and ran the 100 meters in 9.76. Bolt achieved with this brand a boost to his career, which took a significant turn two years ago when he asked his coach to let him make the leap to MF, not wanting to continue running in the 400 meters. Fans attending the meeting organized by Reebok had to wait to enjoy the track, since Bolt's world record was begging. Thus, the meeting began with an hour late because of the storm threat lurking in the area, to which was added another 45 minutes required to break the strong electrical device that you downloaded in the area.

However, the ray in New York yesterday that the Jamaican sprinter lanky 1.96 meters, which suggests that even further can lower his mark, as there was a good start, being apperceived after a false start. The staging of Bolt capped a magical night for the sprinters in Jamaica, as world champion Campbell-Brown also won the women's 100 meters, registering also the best time of year to sign a notable time of 10.91 seconds, two hundredth better than the record set by American Allyson Felix this year.

addition, the American pole Jenn Stuczynski took a leading part in getting the event, and even assaulted three times the world record with the bar set at 5.02 meters with a mark of 4.80. Other stars who shone at the meeting were U.S. World Cup bronze in the 200 meters, Wallace Spearmon, who won in 20.07 seconds and the Kenyan Paul Koech signing the best record in the 3000m steeplechase on U.S. soil with a time of 8: 01.85 seconds.

When Trading Platinum To Soul Silver

A Single 42-rpm


This weekend, one of my best friends came to Madriz with his girlfriend: Hotel Design area such Chueca, a musical in the Gran Via, dinner for two at Teatriz ( Le Marquis was full), Drinking in Ramses ... I joined the coffee in the restaurant and gin & tonic of Hendrick 's price of Iranian caviar later. All very fashion and well.

But what happened later was a funny story: At around two-something my friend, who had barely slept in the last few nights, I wanted to return to the hotel. She, who usually go to a thousand and a half when it comes out, wanted to take another drink. It generated some "bad vibes " between them at that time. At the end brought them to the hotel in miserable conditions. I say unfortunate because I have a Audi TT and clear, the rear seat is great to leave the jacket or jersey that I wear on the shoulders ... but not for passengers, although this was only a trip to Puerta de Alcalá to San Bernardo. By the way, I would taken another, but it was I who had to decide, after all they were romantic weekend.

This again leads me to the same conclusion as usual. One conclusion to my 42-odd years (also a long beak) every time I have more clear: I'm single with no girlfriend, and every time gives me more lazy to have it. That live to justify to someone, that you keep an eye, that can not leave the hotel when you get the real winner (which is not a monarchy wins, but yours), that's when you have two couples (who is logical, otherwise), every time I get more per bag.

My last relationship more or less stable ended nearly two years ago. Previously I had had enough. Since then, only "relationships" of one night, two or three, tops. With a mentality like mine, it is not surprising, moreover, that women are getting tired of my passes in a season and see that nothing happens. I mean that nothing happens that I commit too. At first, a lot of travel, lots of dinner, lots of sex and lots of everything. But a few months (at best), I just overwhelming, growing tired, tired ... and bored. I can not find this cool intimate, and not take a second cup of coffee. And I just finished the story, or letting her finish it.

At my age, I'm increasingly less the work of putting up with anyone. Or to pretend that someone hold me. I have spent many years living alone, and I like it. I have my house as I want, and if I open the shower gel, nobody tells me anything (by the way: do not ever leave it open, I'm a jewel). I have my house does not mean that looks like a cave, on the contrary, my house is perfectly clean and tidy, changing sheets and duvet every week, wash the dishes and ventilate the house every morning. Nothing special, otherwise. But the truth is that yes, I used to not ask placet anyone to do what I want. I'm traveling (or rather, I was unemployed before the travel curb two years ago ...), but I'm coming to ski, I go, I go, I go on without explanation or anyone ... and what is better, but nobody asks for it. And even my mother (who banned me exhaustively long to submit to one more girl) insists that I have a girlfriend and got married. Or not get married, but at least has a girlfriend.

My friend, who has been in Madrid this weekend , took a long time without a stable relationship, and lived much quieter. Eye, I say to live better, more peaceful living say. I know that is very crush on his girl, and she. But calmer lived until a year ago, much less stressed that Now, a sinvivir . If you are compensated (I think it does), then congratulations, maybe we will be a year of a wedding these Donosti . That same friend dropped a phrase anthology years ago his then girlfriend to her question about what they would do in the Easter holidays, he replied "You do not know . I'm going skiing with Medinasidonia . " Awesome.

note about me: My two brothers are happily married with two each churumbeles years. Most of my friends too. And in general, they are all happily ever after ... but I do not quite see clearly that it is for me.

acknowledge that I can sometimes miss having someone. But are the least of them. I recognize that when a few weeks ago that the box of condoms that are on the table does not move except when I clean the dust (no second), I think it would be nice to have a partner. And I'm not saying just dusting (now second), but because it is true that when one thinks of a couple, will come to mind fond memories with ex-girlfriends. When you take a while thinking about it, then displayed the fights, the neuroses, problems, all the bad, the " is that you do not commit " ... and I say to myself, I'm super lonely.

I believe that those who walk through these years and we never have committed a certain amount of gin & tonic permanent blood as the vaccine immunizes us from the flu. He said an announcement

cookie years ago when at 42 a still single is because it is ugly or gay . I do not remember a story that said this to announce cookies, in my case neither of the two conditions is met. my ex-girlfriends and ex-rolls is proof of that. Indeed, the ad in question is before the legalization of gay marriage , of \u200b\u200bcourse.

I have a theory: Marriage is an institution that is thousands of years in time, ie when the life expectancy of humans was about 45 years at most. When you get married, that roll of "till death do you part" meant in the best fifteen or twenty years. But now, in Spain with a life expectancy of nearly eighty, it's together for life sixty years can make: Who holds it? Almost no one, so he invented the divorce as life expectancy began to grow.

For finish, I come here today to claim the single figure of , or mine. Do not be a single because it just gives you win real? Do I have an obligation to follow the script? Do I have mortgaged 30 years to buy a closet and live with someone who will not stand at a time (and probably not bear me to me)?

Friendship Bracelet A-z Patterns

Shaken, not stirred.


Today our champion of freedom and pathological optimist has not proposed any action against the crisis (according to the OECD recession in a couple of months) when he appeared in Congress. The tunnels of the M-30 have been flooded and I have been lucky not to catch this morning jam on the highway out of Toledo, while the input reached the Sector 3, Getafe. Fortunately today released particle accelerator (CERN) has created a black hole that devours the planet Earth, but from here I have not clear whether the southern hemisphere remains (the web Clarín, which came in with some frequency is online , so it seems that there is).

And before all this confluence of nonsense and purposes, I'm going to talk about a subject as important as choosing my favorite James Bond.

river I do not mourn. As many readers know, I have a paid job and not badly paid (not to kill, but not to mourn) since recently. Found in crisis (recession according to the OECD, EU and worldwide global repeat), which has its merits. Therefore I have reason to laugh while many mourn newly unemployed Cry, cry the owners of flats to them each month Euribor rises, cry real estate and construction companies ... I cry almost every least, that I've cried enough over the past two years.

And I do not cry (for now), I will be talking about inconsequential Sir agent created by Ian Fleming. If anyone would stress out because I'm glad. If the majority does not care, because I am also. I will return to be important in future deliveries.

history of James Bond film begins, as any follower of the series knows, the early sixties. Now every time I see one of those old movies, I realize how badly they have aged. The bad guy is always a man bald (Spectra leader ) petting a white Persian cat, and many of the scenes take place in underground caves with little trains that remind me of the Swiss Mountain Mount Donosti Igueldo. Maybe in 1962 in the Cold War space race and in full could impress the spectators, but today it is extremely outdated. Seem an Austin Powers movie with bald and all.

The bald and gives a hit man repeated to the letter, as in submarine movies. "Change container 2" ... " Change the container 2 "repeats a metallic voice." Initiate launch capsule XP56 "..." Initiate launch capsule XP56, repeated again boring assistant. " Collect cat pee " listless affects the bad, very bad bald Spectra honcho ... "Pick cat pee, repeat the faithful acolyte while his voice would suggest a fear that there were about a henchman with his silver helmet, his monkey red, white boots ... and a mop handy to catch the albino cat filth of the head.

Sean Connery is definitely the best actor who has portrayed Bond. But in my opinion this does not becomes the best agent 007 in the series. The Scot Connery had the opportunity to show the piece of actor that is ... but in other movies and at other times. From " The Man Who Would Be King " the third of Indiana Jones, Connery is a great actor at the time of playing Bond was at the beginning of his career, and it shows.

A Connery was replaced briefly the Australian George Lazenby. A single delivery " Secret Service of His Majesty " served to demonstrate that however much we hate the English, 007 must embody an actor born in Belgravia or Mayfair. Or at least it seems. The Australian film behaves like a kangaroo looking trash on the outskirts of Alice Springs, and only the huge pin fashion at the time allow us to distinguish it from a marsupial. Many people know this Bond film series, one of the few in which Spain appears as part of the stage. In particular a Spain Tardofranquismo with donkeys in the streets of a town called next to the village on the outskirts of Madrid where he lived a hired murderer. Because Madrid does not actually go: To see Spain is to wait for the season and see Pierce Brosnan as Bond kills Bilbao a Swiss banker in " The World Is Not Enough " with Sophie Marceau.

Lazenby After the shooting, was "The Holy " Roger Moore. Possibly the hieratic actor of all who have played Bond. However, we must recognize that it has been the most "British" of them all. Largely because so phlegmatic that voice actor responsible for the dubbing in Spain, no less than Constantino Romero. But his original voice was "very 007."

Throughout the seventies and eighties of Roger Moore was a good Bond that we left some of the best films of the series. Some factual mistakes, such as official car incorporating a Lotus Esprit submarine memorable scenes marred "Octopussy" , " Man with the Golden Gun " with a great Christopher Lee in the role murderer's Scaramanga, or " The Spy Who Loved Me ." But Moore rushed leaving the paper too evident in his latest film "View to a Kill " that it was too old to jump from continent to continent seducing KGB spies, and that he was too fat for the role despite putting gut hold your breath to turn blue. Behind him came the unfortunate Timothy Dalton.

Actror theater, Dalton made a promising debut in "The living daylights " ... but there he stood. The following supplies were the worst of the series, with a badass Bond women and tacky paste and mixed with Colombian traffickers coca. Regrettable.

After two sequels insufferable with Timothy Dalton, finally arrived in my humble opinion was the best Bond Series: Pierce Brosnan.

I do not mind admitting that I would have the style and the "touch of class " Brosnan. I do not know the times I've seen some of his films as " The Thomas Crown " just to see him there, with his impeccable suit cut to size in Milan by Gianni Campagna. There was also Rene Russo, but how a gentleman can help noticing the clock impeccable Reverso Jaeger Le-Coultre that Brosnan looked distracted aboard his Bentley? Surely is the only film (with the exception of Casablanca ) in which one looks more on the actor than actress. And you gentlemen did confess also. While Rene Russo.

Brosnan began his career 007 with a major handicap: BMW was the official car in the first three films of his time. If I remember correctly, a Z3 in the first, a Series 7 (?) In the second, and a Z8 in the third. What the Z8 was something else: For the car lovers hurt us to see a car worthy of Bond sectioned along through the hills that hung from helicopters on the outskirts of Istanbul, " The world is not enough and ". Fortunately, his last film recovered the classical and Aston Martin was again the official car of 007: In particular a Vanquish, a beautiful car in front but never conveció behind me, the end of the Zagato is Pininfarina.

But be honest: These costumes bespoke Brioni of cut into the Via Barberini, Rome, those shirts Turnbull & Asser on Jermyn Street stitched, these shoes John Lobb ... spies and seduced me too impressive. And that his partner was none other than Halle Berry ... and that is too big. Although I am left with Miranda Frost, the blonde bad-very bad fencing master.

In "Casino Royale" , Daniel Craigh debut in the role completely disappointed me. Apart from the grace to take the names of characters and situations that apocryphal Bond movie starring David Niven, which embodied a 007 retiree who spent half the movie wearing a silk robe cashmere drawings (if I remember correctly), the most notable is the city of Venice, omnipresent in the Bond saga ... and of course the presentation of the Aston Martin DBS . If the best of the film is the car (not recently), and ignore Brionis, Turnbulls, martini-shaken-not-stirred ( Shaken, Not Stirred ) and other paraphernalia aesthetic Craigh not realize that Bond is a man with a lot of muscle, but not 007. To see this guy I'd rather see one of the three installments of Bourne, although Aston Martin will not keep you tied to the screen until the movie ends.

arrives in a few months " Quantum of Solace," the latest Bond with Daniel Craigh again embody our favorite agent: I'm afraid once again be the best cars (returns DBS), the costumes and girls. Unfortunate, the only series of films that my friends and I (all perfectly straight) you look much more in it than in them, though of course we all comment how good movies are Bond girls and how impressive were the Aston Martin. And repeating this "Bond, James Bond."

Girdlewoman In ..shower

Left exquisite: the Bardem ANDESTAD?


March 2003: The "intelligentsia " Iberian takes to the streets against the war in Iraq . Millions of people are still convinced that the invasion of Iraq is a colossal error of George Bush , seconded by Blair and Aznar (incidentally, also Durao Barroso, who even put Azores headquarters for the famous photo, but nobody says anything about him now that he is the President of the European Commission).

I am one who believes that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. Look where a voter PP Aznar recognizing that slipped badly when he swallowed the stories as "evidence" of CIA to justify destruction weapons + VAT .

I was not in any demonstration led by a cocksucker actor or director. Read the full to Bardem, Juan Diego Botto , Federico Luppi and someone else could have returned to Buenos Aires wanted to express his opinion. I say this because Argentina supported the intervention, but these individuals manifest found most interesting in Spain.

The gala Goya, manifestos, articles and books, several pamphlets, and how no, the famous red sticker on a black background "No to war."

Now I wonder: Russia invades Georgia . Thousands dead, any UN resolution approving the invasion , Russian tanks massacring civilians ...

ANDESTAD "now?

And where the hell read about the demonstrations against? Who cares about the Georgian people as concerned about the Iraqi ? "The Georgians are half Martian beings with three ears that matter a damn? Where are Javier Bardem and his mother, I do not see manifested in the middle of the Gran Via?

Once again the hypocritical left. I never saw a demonstration where USSR invaded Afghanistan in the eighties, although there were thousands of them at the time of Vietnam : Another error and another error U.S. Soviet differentiated treatments by that "Left exquisite" speaking western Wolfe long ago: If at the time and place were Bernstein, Lumet and other snobs the Upper East Side who said some things while living in penthouses of 400 square meters; at this time and here we have our own beautiful people, our own left exquisite five-star hotel GL, with house Puerta de Hierro or Pedralbes, always willing to demonize the American enemy. The same for losing the papers to go to work when I called Cohen, for instance. Although the pay is dollar lower against the euro.

never saw a person with an anti-Russian banner . Not a single banner of the actors against invasion and against the Russians savage torture inflicted the Afghan people. Of course, the players then were Andrés Pajares and Fernando Esteso, and the directors were like Antonio Ozores. It is not the same as the manifestation of the Oscar-winning star of " No Country for Old " or the Oscar-winning director of "All About My Mother " to do so the actors and the director of "The Bingueros. " The

of torture, of course, is the product of my feverish imagination and my heinous fascism birth: How the champions of freedom that freed the enslaved people of eastern Europe and developed and enriched for forty years, could do such a thing? Unthinkable if you are a right obtuse as I, of course.

Now, Mr. Medvedev, the new czar of Russia with Putin permit (actually Putin would be a kind of Rasputin influencing the shadow, this time not on the Empress, but Medvedev himself Tsar ) urged the world to recognize the independence of Ossetia and Abzajia (a site that I swear had not heard until twenty minutes). Little matter that thousands of soldiers, tanks and Russian planes are stationed in Georgia after invading the country with blood and fire: the Russians imported oil and say this is what it is and that U.S. and Europe must swallow.

However, he seems to swallow is Javier Bardem . And Pilar Bardem . And of course Federico Luppi , Juan Diego Botto , Pedro Almodóvar and all the herd of stomachs grateful to government subsidies.

Where are the Bardem? I do not see the head of a mani against Russia. I do not see your black sticker red and screaming at the Gran Via, or in a gala Goya. They do not see it anywhere, perhaps because Javier Bardem making out with Pé lost on an island of 10,000 euros per night, breakfast included. And gives a piquillo pepper what happens to the Georgians, the Ossetians and ... " abzajios ? (Well, or whatever you call).

Peace? Peace "at the rally demanded the picture above? But peace for whom? Or is that peace is only for the countries invaded by U.S. ?

I can be more or less PP Rope (A PP without Rajoy and Gallardón. Or at least without Rajoy), but the leftists I deserve respect. I do not understand, but of course respect. I have friends (not many, that's the truth) that are on that side, as I have friends of Barca being a Viking convicted. But although I know that I leave the subject of Georgia, all this double standard that nasty "left exquisite" Jabugo fed and Krug champagne disgusts me.

Another example: the myth of a murderer as Ernesto Che Guevara . A bloody murderer, torturer, lousy administrator, assassin of Castro and his dictatorship infumable ... become a kind of rock star. The t-shirt with his mug Bearded and with his cap with five-pointed star rivals that of Bono of U2 or the number 23 of David Beckham. But not talking about a rock band or a football star, talking about a murderer of people of which are movies, documentaries, hats, jerseys and all kinds of merchandising . The left once again reinvents their butchers and murderers and make money and publicity over them. From Here to go down the street with a shirt with the face of daddy Stalin, the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha chubby or North Korea is a step.

And while we digress from Georgia, I have not seen the exquisite demanding freedom in China occasion of the Beijing Olympics. At the end of the summer is to be in Ibiza, Madrid, not in this heat in the middle of a demonstration in the Puerta del Sol I also wonder how the IOC awarded the organization of the Games to China. Some games have been exemplary, it is true. At least in terms of organization. Not in terms of freedom: The Chinese were instructed in the responses to Western journalists was cut to temporarily access certain websites uncomfortable for the regime (for the average Chinese is always cut off access), and even , no kidding, was banned in Beijing to bring black shoes with white socks.

I thought that the Olympic spirit did not quite get along well with dictatorships, whether communist or fascist. At least today we know that in 1936, Nazi Germany organized. I see that in the end, what matters is the pasta, so I do not know what surprised me by now.

And all this, " ANDESTAD since Bardem?
