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.
