Spanish flu 
I always wondered why the influenza pandemic of the early twentieth century was called "English flu." What happens is that when I asked him did not have a computer handy to consult the oracle Google, and when I was in front of the keyboard is not I remembered my question epidemiology. Finally with this swine flu one day coincided existential doubt and access to the PC, which discovered the flu in a matter that killed up to 100 million people began in Cuenca. The reason to call it "English Flu" or "English flu
" is that as most of Europe and the U.S. were in the middle of the First World War, the press of these countries did not speak of the disease due to censorship. However, as Spain was not involved in the war in the English press were talking freely of it, and therefore almost all of them seemed to only Spain was affected with the disease. The truth is that it seems that the "patient zero" Kansas was a bit far from Albacete, Cuenca and Villanueva del Pardillo.
Once I take comfort in knowing that my country is not responsible, even indirectly, the deaths of nearly 100 million cases of influenza
, I return to the expression that gives this post to say that we face another pandemic, this time of range only English.
A virus has spread across the country. No other explanation to what happens here, and not even know a
Tamiflu that can cure the erratic behavior, sick and masochistic of my fellow citizens. Tamiflu
a named political opposition to the des-Government Spain.
The last week was the annual debate on the state of the nation. Once finished (not kept even one minute) surveys are the winner by KO ZETAPAD. And the problem is that I'm not surprised or the least. How, with whom he is falling, the pathetic president to suffer can emerge unscathed from the war stories? The answer is that the real Bambi
of English politics is not what we thought. The real Disney fawn is Mariano Rajoy and his sympathetic but pathetic cohort of La Palma. The virus, contrary to what one might think, not ZETAPAD: The real disease is half of Spain in bed with 40 degrees of fever without going to work is the
Popular Camus.
No, not that unemployment is the fault of Rajoy, much less. The four million-plus unemployed have enough life to get us out there to make firewood of "leader" popular. The guilt of (not all) of the unemployed is unfortunate, pathetic, passive, misleading, lazy government policy. If nothing is done more than Plan E (fools), the unemployed continue to fall as goals in mind for the club. Both stand as Barca's goals are two misfortunes, of different dimension, though. At least from my humble point of view and Viking.
But the blame for that are ZETAPAD Salgado's mellifluous and guiding the economic plans of Spain itself is Mariano Rajoy. And is that even I, a voter popularity since 1986, I will give them even one more vote of confidence. I said a year ago, both before and after the Congress-acclamation that took place in Valencia after the defeat in the 2008 general. When you do the same, you get the same result at best. In Valencia, rather than cause a catharsis in the party that would lead to the Moncloa PP in 2012, it was decided to continue with almost the same strategies that have led to two consecutive defeats.
If in 2004 there was a bombing in Madrid that can justify the defeat (another thing that was lost how bad the PP managed the subject, but that is another issue that is not here), in 2008 did little to distort the election as four years earlier. Or rather, what happened is that there was a parvenu
in Moncloa which is the worst Prime Minister since 1975, and losing again Rajoy, was the worst candidate since 1975.
The truth is that candidates have been worse, because I remember Hernández Mancha by the PP and the PSOE Almunia, but we'll talk another day of the previous candidates.
flu virus has not succeeded in English politics infect the rest of Europe: In France the new Napoleon did not let Sarkozy win by Ségolène Royal, known as "The Shoe." In Germany, Merkel cleavage beat the nasty Schröder. In the UK, the Conservatives are going to defeat Labour in the elections take place safely, and the boring Gordon Brown will soon Whitehall. Finally, in Italy Berlusconi swept the mellifluous Prodi, although in this case I think the Italians have gained (and no longer funny "prodi" in Italian means "brave"), but although it is comforting to know always stupid ZETAPAD Spain that have not the worst thing that could happen: Berlusconi may have been English.
Thus, cases Italian and English proves once again that, as Oscar Wilde said (sorry to quote the most topical author events) a person is not defined by the height of his friends, but by their enemies: When Fernando Alonso won the world
Formula 1, Schumacher did with Ferrari running active, and the victory of English had a very different value would be achieved if the German retired. So is the number 1 in the ATP
of Rafael Nadal, Federer has been produced on the slopes. And Jorge Lorenzo said he wants to win the MotoGP world
while the dorsal 46, Valentino Rossi is still walking around the track, because to win no he does not have the same value.
ZETAPAD
If you put forward to Rajoy, the result is the triumph of the undocumented and ignorant individual who dragged as president for five long years. Of course, it appears that ZP has been endorsed by the English, when what I fear is that the English wanted someone with a different profile sinsorgo Mariano. ZETAPAD won a liar, but also due to failures of a rival of a certain height. And the problem is and what we have been suffering since 2004: the problem is that I see that in 2012 the chances of winning are high again, because it seems that our surplus property registrar third favorite plans attempt to power.
I've ever said that
Marianet I would like a good president to have won the 2004 elections. Had had four years to show the English that "could." Now is the English who have already said twice that "can not." And he, as if she heard rain. The pandemic looks set to become endemic.
I am aware that the subtitle of this blog says, inter alia, "To the Vikings Madridistas." Soy del Real Madrid since I can remember when a day in 1971 organized a football match in the college of German nuns of St. Sebastian, where I had pre-school.
