1) Todo mundo já ouviu - foi até material subaproveitado e mal-resenhado no &lt;a href="http://www.midiasemmascara.org"&gt;MSM &lt;/a&gt; -, mas eu coloco aqui para quem perdeu. &lt;a href="http://komo1000news.com/audio/kvi_aircheck_031003.mp3"&gt;Grande achado&lt;/a&gt; do &lt;a href="http://alexandresoaressilva.blogspot.com"&gt;Alexandre&lt;/a&gt;. 

2) A idéia: mostrar o quanto são vazios os "argumentos" dos pacifistas em &lt;a href="http://www.brain-terminal.com/video/nyc-2003-02-15/index.html"&gt;Nova York&lt;/a&gt; e em &lt;a href="http://brain-terminal.com/video/sf-2003-03-15/"&gt;San Francisco&lt;/a&gt;*, em dois vídeos mordazes e simplesmente hilários. A justificativa: &lt;b&gt;"While watching TV coverage of the peace protests this past January, I noticed a large contingent of signs bearing extreme language that attacked President Bush--insulting him personally, calling him a terrorist, and comparing him to Hitler. At the same time, I didn't notice any signs criticizing Saddam Hussein. There were no signs asking him to abide by the Gulf War cease-fire agreement or the various U.N. resolutions he's been violating for over a decade."&lt;/b&gt; Os planos para o futuro: "I have an idea for a feature-length documentary examining political correctness and anti-Semitism on college campuses. &lt;b&gt;I hope to expose the empty arguments and flimsy logic of the politically correct simply by allowing them to speak&lt;/b&gt;." Este blog orgulhosamente apresenta &lt;a href="http://www.brain-terminal.com"&gt;Evan Maloney&lt;/a&gt;.**

3) Sim, sim, este é mais um post do tipo "copy &amp; paste". E esta, senhores, é simplesmente a melhor parte, porque quem vos fala é alguém que já sabia há tempos sobre o que está acontecendo. Leia e sinta a desagradável sensação do &lt;i&gt;history repeats itself&lt;/i&gt;.

"For the historian it is a fact of first importance for the understanding of certain trends in Amercian society that it was possible to convert the military defeat of the Communists in the Tet offensive of 1968 into an American defeat through the propaganda of the mass media. Similar transformations occurred on occasion of the famous invasion of Cambodia. &lt;b&gt;The fact that Camobodia had been invaded by a Communist army from North Vietnam, and that a military expedition against an invasion is not in its turn an invasion, did not deter the intellectuals from falsifying the facts into an atrocious American aggression&lt;/b&gt;. Similar minor transformations by the intellectuals occured in the case of the famous bombings of the dikes in North Vietnam, or in the transformation, through deliberate lies, of &lt;b&gt;the bombing of the military targets in Hanoi into a carpet-bombing against the civilian population&lt;/b&gt;. The examples just enumerated indicate to the historian a serious problem in the intellectual sector of American society - i.e., &lt;b&gt;willful divorce from reality and violent aggressiveness in the pursuit of utopian dreams&lt;/b&gt;. Since this intellectual disease is not confined to journalists and television reporters but &lt;b&gt;has penetrated deeply into the academic world&lt;/b&gt;, and through the academic world &lt;b&gt;into the education of the younger generation&lt;/b&gt;, one must recognize in these trends a danger to democratic government which, after all, has to rely on contact with reality in the population at large.(...) How far this restriction of the American range of action, because of intellectuals who have lost contact with reality, will pose a danger to the country, only the future can show."

** Evan Maloney fez dois vídeos modestos e brilhantes com dinheiro do próprio bolso. Aqui cineastas fazem bocejantes vídeos "de temática social" para que as classes médias, ao assisti-los, sintam o quanto são iluminadas por serem tão engajadas e por não compactuarem com o horrível sistema de opressão do pobre pelo rico - afinal de contas, as classes médias estão no meio, escapam ilesas ao dedo admoestatório da culpa. Os filmes, é claro, são feitos com o dinheiro da D. Maria que lava a louça todo dia. E gente que vai ao cinema às 6 da tarde para ver o "Curta Petrobrás" é gente que compra livro de fotos do Sebastião Salgado para colocar na mesa de centro da sala e se emocionar com as visitas.

Sonhei que uma mulher vestida de vermelho traía o filósofo De Selby com o Flann O'Brien. O O'Brien não tinha cara de funcionário-público-que-sabe-latim-e-bebe-feito-esponja, e sim era a cara do &lt;a href="http://www.arcadepub.com/author/index.cfm?fa=ShowAuthor&amp;Person_ID=160"&gt;Robert McLiam Wilson&lt;/a&gt;. Talk about a perfect combination. Ela sai da casa onde teve uma tórrida noite de amor com O'Brien-McLiam Wilson e escreve num papel que encontra no chão: "Veenesque".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-90404647?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/90404647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/90404647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#90404647' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-87173360</id><published>2003-01-09T14:33:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2003-01-09T16:47:25.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;o ideal é renascer como eremita desconhecido&lt;/b&gt;

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day 
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. 
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town 
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. 
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. 
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. 
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. 

&lt;i&gt;So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking 
Racing around to come up behind you again. 
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, 
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. &lt;/i&gt;

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. 
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines 
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way 
The time is gone, the song is over, 
Thought I'd something more to say. 


Sem essa de recapitular o que o ano foi ou deixou de ser (isso eu faço sozinha, sentindo o cheiro do amaciante na fronha do travesseiro e acostumando as pupilas à escuridão do quarto). Este é, suponho, o último post do ano deste blawg que definha aos poucos. Perdi a vontade de (tentar) escrever aqui. Vão ler a &lt;a href="http://ignea.blogspot.com"&gt;Inês&lt;/a&gt;, o &lt;a href="http://deuscanino.blogspot.com"&gt;Dante&lt;/a&gt;, o &lt;a href="http://alexandresoaressilva.blogspot.com"&gt;Alexandre&lt;/a&gt;, o &lt;a href="http://fdr.blogspot.com"&gt;FDR&lt;/a&gt;, o &lt;a href="http://capitalismo.blogspot.com"&gt;Julio&lt;/a&gt;. Ou façam como eu: vão ler &lt;a href="http://www.salinger.org/"&gt;Salinger &lt;/a&gt; e ter overdose de &lt;a href="http://www.reelclassics.com/Movies/Tiffanys/tiffanys.htm"&gt;Breakfast at Tiffany's&lt;/a&gt; (comprei a caixinha da Paramount, na qual não vem &lt;i&gt;Roman Holiday&lt;/i&gt;!!!!!

Quem vem aqui com freqüência, além de ter a garantia de ser canonizado no futuro por sua extrema paciência, já deve ter lido a última coluna do &lt;a href="http://www.digestivocultural.com/colunistas/coluna.asp?codigo=817"&gt;Alexandre&lt;/a&gt;. Ele me põe no meio de um bando de gente muito boa. Não mereço. "Escritora" também não. Eu só escrevo aqui e no bloquinho de lista de supermercado - tem gente que acha um desperdício, diz que eu deveria é escrever as tirinhas do &lt;a href="http://www.redmeat.com"&gt;Red Meat&lt;/a&gt; ou fingir ser intelectual lá na USP. Enfim, se até o tal do Mirisola é considerado um ótimo escritor... Ah, sim, o Francis. Eu sempre admirei o Francis, mas eu não posso dizer que fui influenciada por ele. "Fui influenciado por fulano e beltrano" - alguém só pode dizer isso sem parecer rídiculo se já tiver algum "estilo". E estilo eu não tenho nenhum, exceto as eventuais e felizes combinações entre roupa e sapato. Do Francis eu queria mesmo é a biblioteca e o apartamento em NY. E, claro, que ele renascesse e fizesse o Jabor perder o emprego.

Uma das coisas mais interessantes nos divertidíssimos textos do Alexandre são os comentários. O mais legal é rir para não chorar ou chorar de rir com o que escreve a elite (para quem sabe o que é) do país. Um ótimo tema para doutorado - já que soltam teses sobre tradução feminista ou sobre o Grande Livro da Grande Filósofa (também conhecido como pó-de-arroz-de-spinoza) - seria analisar comentários a textos de "direitistas sanguinários" e "intolerantes" feito o Alexandre (eu já o imagino enfiando sua bengala vitoriana nos olhos dos inimigos e depois olhando com desgosto para o sangue espirrado em suas polainas). Oxalá eu tivesse a paciência didática de um Alceu Garcia para ficar consertando &lt;i&gt;non-sequitur&lt;/i&gt; alheio dos marmanjos que sinceramente acreditam que Hitler e sua turma de gazelinhas de botas e uniforme da SS eram "de direita". 

E ninguém é tão divertido quanto o &lt;a href="http://deuscanino.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;dante&lt;/a&gt;, para cujo blog já sugeriram o nome de "Sai de mim Paulo Francis":

"Saki alfinetava a nata inglesa, que insistia em reformar as classes baixas, que por sua vez adoravam uma dose de qualquer coisa.
E, décadas antes de Saki, as classes dirigentes queriam educar o povo na marra.
O povo unido brada hoje por educação pública. Quem entende?
E as médias classes sentem-se ricas o suficiente para se declararem privilegiadas e clamam por justiça social.
Os ricos podem me passar um pouco de caviar. 
Das classes médias, só pediria que calassem a boca. 
É chato beber champanhe com essa gritaria toda. 
Façam a revolução do prolerariado, mas me deixem dormir."

It is a considerable time since I related an anecdote from the life of John Keats. Here is one at last.

When the poet was eighteen he decided to make a journey to the American continent to pick up some of the potatoes that even the brazenest fraud can garner by lecture-touring. In Boston he met a pretty lady, fat and forty, but beautiful with the bloom of cash and collateral. The poet instantly laid siege, praised her expensive fancy hats, and called her his Dark Lady of the Bonnets. She accepted his advances after a fashion, but made no move to buy him a pair-in-hand, and would not consent to meet him anywhere but in the local park by day. Desperate with greed, he decided to stake all on a bogus offer of marriage. The lady’s reply was peculiar.

‘Have you ever read the works of our great writer, Thoreau?’ she asked. 
‘Never heard of the lad’, Keats said.
‘Well, you are hearing about him now,’ said the lady. ‘I happen to be his wife.’
‘So what?’ asked the poet.
‘How could I marry you if I already have a husband?’
‘Easy,’ replied the great wit. ‘Why not get a divorce a mensa et thoreau?’

You look like
a perfect fit
for a girl in need
of a tourniquet
but you can save me
if you could save me
from the ranks 
of the freaks
who suspect
they could never love anyone.

‘Cause I can tell,
you know what it’s like
the long goodbye
of the hunger strike
but can you save me
come on and save me
if you could save me
from the ranks 
of the freaks
who suspect
they could never love anyone.

You struck me dumb
like radium
like Peter Pan
or Superman
you will come
to save me
why don’t you save me
come on and save me
from the ranks 
of the freaks
who suspect
they could never love anyone.

Mas fiquei lendo o meu &lt;i&gt;De Consolatione Philosophiae&lt;/i&gt; (em inglês - o latim foi só para impressionar aqueles que me chamam de pedante por usar uma língua "morta" e não apreciar a arte do Arnaldo Antunes) e ouvindo Bessie Smith. Bessie Smith primeiro, Boethius depois - Boethius é para ler em silêncio (só ensaio de orquestra, lá dentro). Para lembrar do quê? De quem? De mim, acho. Um pouco de saudável umbiguismo para uma época em que o populismo e a democracia (leia-se: agüentar crianças de 8 anos gritando nome de candidato nas ruas e lemmings disfarçados de gente votando) são louvados em todos os lares felizes.

Sei que o &lt;a href="http://www.outonos.com"&gt;Outonos&lt;/a&gt; e o &lt;a href="http://perplexos.blogspot.com"&gt;Perplexos&lt;/a&gt; receberam visitas de cãezinhos hidrófobos que acusam os contribuintes de ambos os sites de serem discípulos do Olavo de Carvalho. Logo do Olavo, vejam só, um sujeito que, como sabem todas as pessoas sensatas para quem o céu é verde e a grama azul e Lula é paz e amor e a exploração é capitalismo, é um notório neonazista. Acabaram parando por aqui, os cãezinhos. Apesar deste blog ter a honra de estar na &lt;i&gt;linkroll&lt;/i&gt; do &lt;a href="http://avelloso.com"&gt;Álvaro Velloso&lt;/a&gt;, devo dizer que sou menos merecedora do ódio dos cãezinhos amestrados do que os mantenedores dos três sites citados - não por aquilo que penso (se soubessem o que penso já estaria morta e enterrada, e todos os  jovenzinhos revolucionários dançariam sobre minha cova de pedante traidora da "minha geração"), e sim pelo umbiguismo por vezes hermético de meus posts, os quais gradualmente abandonaram temas que ainda me são caros - &lt;i&gt;libertarian studies&lt;/i&gt;, tradução e filosofia, por exemplo - para tomar um corpo... digamos... mais &lt;i&gt;blog-like&lt;/i&gt;. A tal transição não foi intencional - só descobri que levarei um bom tempo antes de poder escrever notinhas interessantes como as do Júlio Lemos, por exemplo. Mas eu nunca tomo jeito. 

Sei disso (refiro-me à visita dos cãezinhos, e não de minha fama imerecida) porque recebi o seguinte e-mail:

&lt;i&gt;From:	AOCastello@aol.com |  
Date:	Sat, 26 Oct 2002 00:42:08 EDT
Subject:	Quanta idiotice
To:	missveen@yahoo.com
	
"Apple-polisher" &lt;/i&gt;


Fiquei me perguntando: "apple-polisher" de quem? Do Olavo de Carvalho? Do Meira Penna? Seria então de meu amiguinho Myles, ó céus? Do Keats? Do Francis? Do Alceu Garcia? Do Paulo Salles? Tentativa de ofensa muito, mas muito ruim. Não me senti ofendida, querido. Pelo contrário - fiquei tão feliz por receber um e-mail seu que desejo compartilhar seus impressionantes poderes retóricos com meus leitores. Vamos ver se você se ofende: sicofanta é a senhora tua avó. 

Agora, para a audiência maior de 18 anos: enquanto o nível deste blog não melhora, que tal ler aquilo que leio, se não todo dia, pelo menos toda semana?

Claro que há mais, mas estou com preguiça.

E claro que votei nulo. Esperavam o quê? No país em que vivo, como representante da tal "classe letrada" e sendo obrigada a ouvir discurso tecendo loas a Paulo Freire na minha colação de grau, tenho mais é que votar nulo, mesmo. Bons tempos a adolescência, época em que tinha amigos analfabetos (como são todos os adolescentes que freqüentam escolas particulares) e metidos a anarquistas, os quais pichavam "vote nulo, não sustente parasitas" nas portas de banheiro de escola. 

Vou ali burlar a lei-seca e não sei se volto. Maldito país em que não posso tomar fadinha verde de verdade. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-83632184?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/83632184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/83632184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#83632184' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-82780110</id><published>2002-10-10T03:33:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-10-10T03:33:29.790-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;get out of town&lt;/b&gt;

get out of town
before it's too late my love
get out of town
be good to me please

why wish me harm
why not retire to a farm
and be contented to charm
the birds off the trees

just disappear
I care for you much too much
and when you're near,  so close to me dear
we touch too much

the thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
that darling, it's getting me down
so on your mark,  get set
get out of town

Eu moro em Brasília. Estou, portanto, rodeada de adoradores daquele velho nojento, o Niemeyer. A única coisa decente a sair da mente do sujeito foi o &lt;a href="http://www.kodak.com.br/BR/pt/fotografia/galeriaFotos/momento/internauta/foregina6.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Itamaraty&lt;/a&gt;. O resto podia muito bem ser demolido, inclusive aquela &lt;a href="http://www.unb.br" target="_blank"&gt;universidade pavorosa&lt;/a&gt;. 

E daí que antes eu tinha vontade de arrebentar quem dizia que o cara é um gênio. Pois só um gênio, meus caros, daria uma &lt;a href="http://www.revan.com.br/catalogo/0162d.htm" target="_blank"&gt;entrevista&lt;/a&gt; dessas, na qual revela sua simpatia por outro cara fantástico (Stalin) e diz, de maneira quase orgulhosa, que pegou gonorréia de uma prostituta. 

Hoje eu só olho pros adoradores-de-Niemeyer e tenho vontade de ir morar numa caixa de fósforos. Esquece. Eu &lt;i&gt;já moro&lt;/i&gt; numa caixa de fósforos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-82295984?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/82295984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/82295984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#82295984' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-81962175</id><published>2002-09-22T17:51:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-09-22T17:51:23.623-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;the best of &lt;a href="http://lucidalancis.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;paulo salles&lt;/a&gt;, volume I&lt;/b&gt;

"Com exceção de uma ou outra passagem mais precisa, todo o folheto segue aquele padrão dos catálogos de arte: sempre o mesmo tom vago, indefinido, descrições que poderiam ser aplicadas a praticamente qualquer obra de arte, sugestões da presença de um profundo “mistério” esotérico a ser desvendado. E é por isso, entre outras razões, que a arte contemporânea “funciona”. Ela é a mais adequada para aqueles que têm o péssimo hábito mental de não ver as coisas como são - ver o que elas realmente parecem, sugerem e simbolizam -, mas preferem pensar em convenções teóricas cada vez mais abstratas e distantes do fato bruto que é a obra de arte.

"O gênero literário dos americanos é o conto. Dos ingleses, a poesia lírica. Dos franceses, o ensaio. Dos alemães, o romance de formação. E dos brasileiros, sem a menor dúvida, a crítica de arte."

"Existe uma doença psiquiátrica: a síndrome do jovem gaúcho que se muda para São Paulo. Há exceções, mas, em geral, é pior do que o paulistano moderninho que vai morar em Nova York ou Londres. Em pouco tempo ele se envolve com os tipos mais repulsivos da cidade, se transforma num urbanóide caricato e começa a achar que o resto do mundo está interessado em sua odisséia. A primeira crise ocorre no dia em que ele se vê em Berlim, num reduto de arte de vanguarda, em algum ponto entre as estações Vergueiro e Paraíso do metrô. E depois escreve um poema, conto ou letra de música a respeito."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-81962175?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81962175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81962175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#81962175' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-81962031</id><published>2002-09-22T17:46:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-09-22T17:54:49.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;só levanta da mesa se sair um royal straight flush&lt;/b&gt;

Por que diabos eu jogo pôquer com o tempo?

Lá no &lt;a href="http://www.unikey.com.br/editora/nova/editora.htm" target="_blanket"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt; da editora ainda não apareceu (aproveitem pra dar uma olhada no &lt;i&gt;Da Moral em Economia &lt;/i&gt; do Meira Penna), mas o &lt;i&gt;Antiliberalismo 2000&lt;/i&gt; do Henderson, traduzido por esta humilde (apesar de pensarem o contrário, sabe-se lá por quê) pessoinha aqui, já está quase saindo. Estou com um exemplar bem aqui na minha frente. A capa, sem querer, virou um primor de inteligência "marqueteira": tem uma foto de manifestantes à época do encontro da OMC em Seattle, que casa maravilhosamente  bem com o título e o subtítulo ("A ascenção do coletivismo do novo milênio"). Um pega-moscas para aquele tipo tão comum e que se acha tão único: o freqüentador "esclarecido" de livrarias (vocês conhecem, aquele tipo que lê o último livro do Veríssimo e que acha o FHC um "neoliberal"). &lt;i&gt;Oimoi &lt;/i&gt;(eu esqueci quase tudo de grego, menos as coisas mais inúteis), nem sei se vai ter uma distribuição tão ampla assim.

Claro que estou feliz. Nem me importo (é uma figura de retórica - é claro que importo e que fiquei emputecida) com os váááááários errinhos que já tinham sido corrigidos na 2a revisão das provas e que ainda acabaram passando. Longe de mim reclamar do pessoal da editora da UniverCidade. Mas que eles são meio... assim... desorganizadinhos, ah, isso são. 

Leia o livrinho (86 páginas). Eu também ficarei muito feliz em receber comentários sobre a tradução e sobre o que o Henderson diz lá. Não importa se você traduz ou não, e nem se leu os Dryden da vida ou não. Obrigada.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-81961438?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81961438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81961438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#81961438' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-81872613</id><published>2002-09-20T11:48:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-09-20T11:51:51.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;blogs, blawgs&lt;/b&gt;

Tem também o do &lt;a href="http://capitalismo.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;Julio Lemos&lt;/a&gt; (que volta e meia aparecia nos comentários, lembra?). O Julio disse que a intenção é fazer uma coisa  "simples e ter algumas coisas boas de se ler sobre filosofia, imprensa, cultura e desinformação". Se todos os blogs fossem "simples" que nem o dele, eu passaria noites e mais noites lendo blogs.

Agora o a coisa-blogging faz sentido: quase todo mundo que deveria ter blog está fazendo o seu. 

Ah, olha só que barato o &lt;a href="http://www.midiasemmascara.org/materia.asp?cod=2" target="_blank"&gt;artigo&lt;/a&gt; do Evandro Ferreira para o MSM em que ele esculacha uma tal de Maria José Esteves de Vasconcellos (daquelas que acreditam em tudo, até em mula-sem-cabeça, menos na existência do real). Tem um diálogo imaginário entre Sócrates e a douta acadêmica:

- Sócrates: "Um poste é duro?"

- Maria José: "Sim."

- Sócrates: "Se uma pessoa bate a cabeça num poste, ela sente a dureza?"

- Maria José: "Sim!"

- Sócrates: "Então quem sente a dureza?"

- Maria José: "A pessoa que bate a cabeça no poste"

- Sócrates: "Então a 'dureza' é uma experiência subjetiva."

- Maria José: "Sim."

- Sócrates: "Mas se uma pessoa dirigir seu carro em direção a um poste a, digamos, 200 Km/h e sem cinto de segurança certamente morrerá."

- Sócrates: "E será enterrada."

- Maria José: "Sim."

- Sócrates: "E a morte é uma experiência subjetiva?"

- Maria José: "Bem, acho que sim, pois um indivíduo, ou sujeito, é que morre. E só ele sente que morre."

- Sócrates: "Então não existe prova objetiva de que o sujeito morreu."

- Maria José: "Não. Não existe."

- Sócrates: "E, no entanto, ele morreu, já que não está mais conosco nesse mundo, não se pode vê-lo ao nosso lado e nem falando conosco."

- Maria José: "Sim."

- Sócrates: "E se morrer é uma experiência subjetiva, então viver também é."

- Maria José: "Sim."

- Sócrates: "Então você não pode provar que está viva."

- Maria José: "Não."

- Sócrates: "Então não pode provar sequer que está falando comigo nesse momento."

- Maria José: "Não."

- Sócrates: "Então não pode provar que qualquer coisa que você tenha falado é verdade, já que não pode provar nem que falou qualquer coisa."

- Maria José: "Não."

- Sócrates: "Então é melhor não falar mais nada."

- Maria José: "É melhor."

- Sócrates: "Então tchau."

- Maria José: "Tchau."

Waiter, what was in that glass?
Arsenic, Sir.
&lt;i&gt;Arsenic&lt;/i&gt;. I asked you to bring me absinthe.
I thought you said arsenic. I beg your pardon, Sir.
Do you realise what you’ve done, you clumsy fool? I’m dying.
I am extremely sorry, Sir.
I DISTINCTLY SAID ABSINTHE.
I realise that I owe you an apology, Sir. I am extremely sorry.

Of course there is no drink can compare with a bottle of stout. It is &lt;i&gt;sui guinnessis&lt;/i&gt;. Keats once called a cab and was disgusted to find the beautiful upholstery ruined with milk spilt by some previous reveller who had been going home with it. Instead of crying over the spilt milk, Keats said to the cabman:
‘What’s this? A cabri-au-lait?’

Recebi um e-mail do pessoal do &lt;a href="http://www.samizdata.net" target="_blank"&gt;samizdata&lt;/a&gt; anunciando um &lt;a href="http://www.samizdata.net/blog/glossary.html" target="_blank"&gt;glossário&lt;/a&gt; sobre blogs. Alguns termos já catalogados:

"&lt;i&gt;Anti-idiotarian&lt;/i&gt;. (noun). Someone opposed to a whole raft of political values which are derived from a fundamentally irrational meta-context (world view). Anti-idiotarians can be found across a wide section of the political spectrum and are primarily characterised by vocal rational judgmentalism, generally hawkish sentiments and transcendent loathing of Noam Chomsky. ("Like most anti-idiotarians I cannot but marvel as the sight of the Palestinian leadership forming yet another circular firing squad at the first grudging sign of reasonable behaviour by the Israeli government" - Perry de Havilland)."

"&lt;i&gt;Instapundited&lt;/i&gt; (tr.verb). To have your blog mentioned on &lt;a href="http://www.instapundit.com"&gt;Instapundit.com &lt;/a&gt; ("Holy shit, look at the hit counter! We must have been Instapundited!")"

"&lt;i&gt;Pundit blog&lt;/i&gt; (noun). A blog (qv) focused on news punditry. The bulk of a pundit blogs' content will be dissection of, or pointers to, stories currently running in the established media. Pundit blogs are largely the same thing as News blogs. Also: Punditblog. Pundit blogs form one of the three primary distinct (and largely separate) cultural groups within the blogging world, the other two being Journal blogs and Tech blogs. The archetypal pundit blog is &lt;a href="http://www.instapundit.com" target="_blank"&gt;Instapundit.com&lt;/a&gt;"

Só dois exemplos de &lt;i&gt;punditblogs&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.muslimpundit.com/" target="_blank"&gt;muslimpundit&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://israpundit.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;israpundit&lt;/a&gt;. Pois é.

O Paulo Salles, &lt;a href="http://lucidalancis.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;hein&lt;/a&gt;? Nessa idade. :-) Mas cadê aqueles links da época do &lt;b&gt;lycopodium&lt;/b&gt;?
E como estamos em família  (tutti buona gente), o Felipe Ortiz, amigo do Paulo, também tem &lt;a href="http://ptolemaeus.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;blog &lt;/a&gt; e também é &lt;a href="http://perplexos.blogspot.com" target="_blanket"&gt;perplexo&lt;/a&gt;. 

Hoje foi um dia de ler Mises e Alceu Garcia de manhã e ir para um churrasco à tarde. Um economista que dá pra entender, um dos melhores articulistas não-publicados do país e picanha ao ponto. Nada mal prum sábado. 

Descobri que eu sou uma perua que adoraria ter sapatos Salvatore Ferragano e bolsas Fendi se dinheiro eu tivesse. Basta ver o vestidinho que comprei hoje. Eu devia é fazer uns filmes "barra pesada" sobre a "vida real" de gente "menos favorecida" (ai, um dia isso pega) e gastar dinheiro público e ganhar muito prestígio. Como sou trouxa, gasto o &lt;i&gt;meu&lt;/i&gt; dinheiro com vestidos, livros, rímel, CDs e comida pra gato. Não necessariamente nessa ordem.

Ah, sim: o Guidalli também tem o &lt;a href="http://offmidia.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;offmidia&lt;/a&gt;. 

Criei um &lt;a href="http://ocorreionobanheiro.blogspot.com"&gt;blog &lt;/a&gt;em "homenagem" ao Correio Braziliense - mas não sei se vai vingar. Se eu já acho que desperdiço muito do meu tempo, imagina se eu tiver de ler o Correio todo dia só para espinafrar os jornalistas daqui? &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-81610293?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81610293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/81610293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#81610293' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-81465636</id><published>2002-09-11T14:55:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-09-12T00:43:27.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;the phoenix always rises from the ashes&lt;/b&gt;

Voltei. Além do &lt;a href="http://www.megophone.com/wtc.html" target="_blank"&gt;aniversário óbvio&lt;/a&gt;, também há o aniversário deste "blawg". Comecei algum dia em agosto. Um ano de notinhas aleatórias sobre inúmeras coisas.
 
Estatísticas da volta: 4 kgs a mais/4 meses sem cigarro/suplemento vitamínico para stress/devidamente alforriada da UnB/disposta a ler tudo o que ficou acumulado durante meses, incluindo livros, e-mails, suplementos literários, blogs, artigos e várias edições do NYReview of Books. 

Ah, sim. Como eu ODEIO período eleitoral. No meu local de trabalho - uma instituição mantida pela Embaixada dos EUA - estou cercada de esquerdistas antiamericanos adoradores de Niemeyer-Sebastião Salgado-Cristovam Buarque-Lula-leitores de Correio Braziliense. Falando em Correio Braziliense, penso em fazer um blawg no melhor estilo &lt;a href="http://pagina18.blogspot.com"&gt;Página 18&lt;/a&gt; sobre nosso papel higiênico impresso local, nada macio e muito esquerdoso. E cheio de foquinhas burrinhas.

Eu não vi o tal &lt;i&gt;Cidade de Deus&lt;/i&gt;. Deve ser esquecível e o típico filme pra classe média sentir-se redimida (através de um &lt;i&gt;mea culpa&lt;/i&gt; básico) do "mal" que causa à sociedade por ter mais dinheiro que os favelados não-traficantes, no melhor estilo Sebastião Salgado. E aposto que é mais um filme na linha "determinismo social" - nasceu na favela, fazer o quê, né? Tem é de virar traficante &lt;i&gt;mermo&lt;/i&gt;. Como aqueles políticos que falam em esporte, esporte, esporte, incentivo ao esporte, esporte para as comunidades menos favorecidas, vamos construir muitas quadras de esporte, esporte goela abaixo, yaddayadda. Porque, sabe, se a macacada pobre não praticar esportes, com certeza há de se voltar para o crime, não é mesmo?. E depois falam que os anti-PC são preconceituosos. Ora vão se f... digo, vão todos catar panfletinho político nas sarjetas. 

Essa coisa do filminho Cidade de Deus é mais uma prova do quanto é fácil obter grana + respeito da classe média "esclarecida" no Brasil: basta ficar jogando na cara deles que eles são uns porcos capitalistas e pronto, todos alcançam níveis orgásmicos de repentina compreensão das roldanas da sociedade. 

Bom, vamos às novidades: 

1) A coluna do Sandro Guidalli no &lt;a href="http://www.comunique-se.com.br" target="_blank"&gt;Comunique-se&lt;/a&gt; - melhor dizendo, a coluna &lt;i&gt;e&lt;/i&gt; o festival de palhaçada nos comentários dos "detratores" dos artigos que ele escreve. Preste atenção nos tabefes que o Pedro Mayall - uma espécide de Alceu Garcia - dá nos otários. Passatempo semanal imperdível;
2) O nosso &lt;i&gt;mediawatch&lt;/i&gt; nacional, o &lt;a href="http://www.midiasemmascara.org" target="_blank"&gt;Mídia sem Máscara&lt;/a&gt;;
3) O blog do &lt;a href="http://www.guidalli.com" target="_blank"&gt;Guidalli&lt;/a&gt;;
4) O blog dos &lt;a href="http://perplexos.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;perplexos&lt;/a&gt;. Ando perplexa com muita coisa.

O tradutor Paulo Henriques Britto (Pynchon, Bishop, James, entre outros)  tem uma &lt;a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ab6/phbritto/" target="_blank"&gt;página&lt;/a&gt; com vários de seus textos sobre literatura e tradução -  alguns inéditos. Destaque para  "Lícidas: diálogo mais ou menos platônico em torno de 'como reconhecer um poema ao vê-lo', de Stanley Fish" e "Poetry and Creation". (O texto "Why Deconstruct?" é variante de outro texto, "Em Defesa da Transparência", o qual não está na página. Mas eu tenho, caso alguém aí se &lt;a href="mailto:missveen@yahoo.com"&gt;interesse&lt;/a&gt;. Ambos dão salutares tapinhas na cara da Rosemary Arrojo - para quem não sabe, a Marilena Chauí da Tradução.) &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-79825615?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/79825615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/79825615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#79825615' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-79780512</id><published>2002-08-03T16:10:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-08-03T16:10:43.660-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;chat (myles and those plain people who just won’t laugh at his droll puns)&lt;/b&gt;

Enfim, para muita gente ela incorpora o eterno arquétipo da patricinha ("self-indulgent, self-absorbed"; "someone who's just so dreadfully tired of hearing about poverty"), o que fez com dedicassem um &lt;a href="http://www.rolandtanglao.com/categories/debunkingleah/" target="_blank" title="debunking leah"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; para malhar seus inofensivos e auto-idolatrantes (anote que deve sair na próxima edição do Houaiss) artigos. Falam mal do trabalho dela e tal. Sour grapes style. IMHO, ela é uma bela (onnn) duma carreirista. E muito divertida. E esperta. E citou o Henry James.

"It’s been suggested that the wall I’m encountering is that old cultural mainstay, English reserve. Frankly, I think it’s simpler than that. The English male avoids being alone with a woman because he dreads being alone with a woman. In this regard, the boarding-school-educated types are by far the worst. Wrested from the intimacy of their mother’s affection, boarders come to depend on themselves and the boys around them for everything they need. The company of women and those who crave it are viewed with suspicion and disgust."

Come over here babe - it ain't that bad.
I don't claim to understand the troubles that you've had.
But the dogs you say they fed you to
Lay their muzzles in your lap
And the lions that they led you to
Lie down and take a nap.
All the ones you fear are wind and air
And I love you without measure
Seems we can be happy now
Be it better late than never.

E minha lente esquerda precisa de colírio. E eu adoro os arranjos das músicas do Nick Cave. Lembram lindas árvores sem folhas e mulheres de cabelo negro e vestido branco. Mas do ângulo que olhamos não se pode saber se estão melancólicas ou resignadas. Ou coisa alguma. E, sei lá, Nick Cave tem o gostinho de infância. Sim, porque eu sou uma criança estacionada. Um tipo diferente, ainda não catalogado, de &lt;i&gt;idiot savant&lt;/i&gt;. Já mencionei que fui um gênio &lt;i&gt;malentendu&lt;/i&gt; na infância (ou pelo menos assim eu me imaginava)? Degringolei numa adulta semi-inteligente. Pois bem. Às vezes temos de tentar nos definir, néam.

Mas como eu ia dizendo. É assim: a sombra do prédio na grama fica grande e pequena várias vezes. As cores começam a esvaecer. O fantasma mental também se foi - só alguns traços (sorriso agridoce, o desdém morno e suave, quase reconfortante, o ar frio do ar condicionado, a luz alaranjada da vela, um livro do Matthew Arnold, as mãos florentinas) ainda ficam. Mas a ternura concentrada e que faz o esterno doer continua latejando nas hemoglobinas. Existe silenciosamente. Vem em repentinas lufadas de ar, às vezes. Tritura os ossos aos pouquinhos. E eu jamais vou saber o que fazer com ela (um Jonas resoluto dentro do estômago de um peixe). Se ao menos eu soubesse escrever em pentâmetros iâmbicos. Ou fosse um peixe da fossa de Mindanao. Just leave me alone, will you? To die. To sleep. Perchance to dream.

Recebi 2 e-mails - de dois paspalhos diferentes, suponho - perguntando, "sem querer ofender", se eu não era feiosa, posto que me achavam  muito inteligente. Obrigada, mas eu  &lt;b&gt;era&lt;/b&gt; inteligente - há dez anos. Não me achava bonita, though - era magricela e tinha o sarcasmo da &lt;a href="http://www.mtv.com/onair/daria/" target="_blank"  title="da da da da dada"&gt;Daria&lt;/a&gt;. O sarcasmo foi-se diluindo. E, sim, eu sou gatinha - nem te conto como fico de espartilho e &lt;i&gt;cat-o'-nine-tails&lt;/i&gt; na mão, é de fazer a &lt;a href="http://www.grrl.com/sensual.jpg" target="_blank" title="a verdadeira pin-up. não aceite imitações."&gt;Betty Page&lt;/a&gt; ficar com inveja.

Bom, isso de beleza x inteligência é engraçado. Já vi homens lindos e inteligentes e elegantes e divertidos. É, tudo num pacote só. São uns seres meio raros, dignos de ser catalogados, e são de tirar o fôlego.  É fato que existem mais homens feios e inteligentes, mas, enfim. No caso das mulheres é meio decepcionante - não dá pra ser uma Mme. Récamier e uma Mme. de Stäel ao mesmo tempo, vai contra as leis da natureza. Mas se calhar de ela ser uma Sharon Stone com uma mente de filósofo alemão, pelo menos numa coisa ela vai ter de ser imperfeita - pode ter uma tendência a estourar o limite de cartão de crédito do marido, gostar da Adriana Calcanhoto e do Paulo Leminski, ter joanete, apertar a pasta de dente no meio, ou ser paranóica-maníaco-depressiva, entre outros. Veja o caso da Hannah Arendt - era até bonitinha na época em que o Heidegger e seu narigão rondavam a pudica e brilhante menina judia. Aí ela inventou de escrever coisas maravilhosas e foi ficando levemente feiosa - ou muito, depende do seu gosto. Acho que foi o Wilde quem disse algo como "se a inteligência desponta, o nariz já começa a ficar feio, as feições mudam". Se não foi o Wilde foi o Peter Ackroyd travestido (opa) de Wilde, o que dá quase na mesma.

Quem achou foi a &lt;a href="http://pombostrans.blogspot.com" target="_blank" title="enigmatic mermaid"&gt;merm&lt;/a&gt;, no &lt;a href="http://www.proz.com" title="freelance translators at your disposal"&gt;proz&lt;/a&gt;.

"One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eighth grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot."

The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.

The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up his twelve sons to be partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.

Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines.

Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable.

Achilles appears in "The Illiad", by Homer. Homer also wrote the "Oddity", in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.

Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.

In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Parisians had more men.

Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History call people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March killed him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyrany who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.

In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.

The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and
discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important
invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.

The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted "hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo.

The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He lived in Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Mac-beth to kill the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was
Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained."

During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while
cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and it was called the Pilgrim's Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by Indians, who came down the hill rolling their hoops before them. The Indian squabs carried porpoises on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many
babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.

One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their pacels through the post without stamps. During the War, Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress.

Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented electricity by rubbing cats backwards and declared "a horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.

George Washington married Martha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. Them the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said, "In onion there is strength."

Abraham Lincoln write the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also signed the Emasculation Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposedly insane
actor. This ruined Booth's career.

Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare invented electricityand also wrote a book called "Candy". Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees.
Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English.
He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music.He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French Revolution, and it catapulted into Napoleon. During the Napoleonic Wars, the crowned heads of Europe were trembling in their shoes. Then the Spanish gorillas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon's flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inherit his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn't bear him any children.

The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West.Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. Her reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality. Her death was the final event which ended her reign.

The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick Raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy. Louis Pastuer discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturailst who wrote the "Organ of the
Species". Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers. The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by a surf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-78867117?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/78867117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/78867117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#78867117' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-78866355</id><published>2002-07-12T12:38:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-07-12T13:10:10.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;nada não&lt;/b&gt;

Nosso ex-governador Cristovam Buarque mostra, &lt;a href="http://www.revistaautor.com.br/artigos/W13/EXT_13.shtml" target="_blank" title="a pobreza dos ricos"&gt;mais uma vez&lt;/a&gt;, que não sabe patavina de História. Usa o expediente pueril de comparar o rico brasileiro com o nobre medieval (ambos cercados em seus castelos, ambos desejosos de afastar os pobres pestilentos). Lembro de ter ouvido a mesma comparação absurda - ou tê-la inferido, já que professores de 1o. e 2o. graus são mestres da sutileza ideológica - uma mil vezes quando "estudava". Tadinho do Cristovam. Ele sofre do mesmo mal de que padecem os adoradores do trabalho do &lt;a href="http://www.terra.com.br/sebastiaosalgado/" target="_blank" title="carne de vaca em preto e branco"&gt;Sebastião Salgado &lt;/a&gt;- aquilo que chamo de &lt;i&gt;mea-culpa&lt;/i&gt; da classe média. O &lt;i&gt;mea-culpa&lt;/i&gt; é um dos sintomas de uma síndrome mais letal e insidiosa - a &lt;a href="http://www.olavodecarvalho.org/semana/06162002zh.htm" target="_blank" title="Olavo de Cavalho, oras"&gt;vaidade mortal&lt;/a&gt;. O texto faz parte do recente livrinho do homem, anunciado em cartazes por toda a UnB. Está recheado de coisinhas que parecem "óóóóóó, que inteligente" à classe &lt;i&gt;soi disant&lt;/i&gt; pensante, mas soam como carne de vaca a quem quer que leia artigos de um, digamos, Correio Braziliense. Preciso e certeiro é o &lt;a href="http://www.meirapenna.org" target="_blank"&gt;Meira Penna&lt;/a&gt;, que respondeu, quando lhe enviei o tal artigo: "O Cristovam é um boboca nefelibata e não se deve perder tempo lendo o que ele escreve. Mas talvez fosse bom que ele dirigisse o PT pois apressaria o desatre e a gente ficaria livre deles para sempre." Hehe.

É velho, mas funciona.

1. Follow your dream!  Unless it's the one where you're at work in your underwear during a fire drill.
2. Always take time to stop and smell the roses and sooner or later, you'll inhale a bee.
3. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.  Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.  Do not walk beside me, either.  Just leave me alone.
4. If you don't like my driving, don't call anyone.  Just take another road. That's why the highway department made so many of them.
5. If a motorist cuts you off, just turn the other cheek. Nothing gets the message across like a good mooning.
6. When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.  It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
7. It's always darkest before the dawn.  So if you're going to steal the neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
8. A handy telephone tip: Keep a small chalkboard near the phone.  That way, when a salesman calls, you can hold the receiver up to it and run your fingernails across it until he hangs up.
9. Each day I try to enjoy something from each of the four food groups: the bonbon group, the salty-snack group, the caffeine group and the "What-ever-the-thing-in-the-tinfoil-in-the-back-of-the-fridge-is".
10. Into every life some rain must fall.  Usually when your car windows are down.
11. Just remember: You gotta break some eggs to make a real mess on the neighbour's car!
12. When you find yourself getting irritated with someone, try to remember that all men are brothers and just give them a noogie or an Indian burn.
13. This morning I woke up to the unmistakable scent of pigs in a blanket. That's the price you pay for letting the relatives stay over.
14. It's a small world.  So you gotta use your elbows a lot.
15. Keep your nose to the grindstone and your shoulder to the wheel.  It's a lot cheaper than plastic surgery.
16. This land is your land.  This land is my land.  So stay on your land.
17. Love is like a roller coaster: When it's good you don't want to get off, and when it isn't, you can't wait to throw up.

1.The first rule about Beer Club is you do not talk about Beer Club.
2. Before wringing spilled beer into your glass from a soaked shirt, make sure that your date is not still wearing it.
3. Beer math: x(beer) + felony larceny - shirt = "COPS"
4. The Barney Rule: Every sentence must start or end with a belch.
5. Always offer to buy the first round if you want to impress the Bush girls.
6. The optimum number of beers consumed is directly proportional to the ugliness of one's date divided by the distance to the bathroom.
7. After a dozen beers, you must loudly declare your love for your drinking companion.  Half a dozen if you're drinking Guinness.
8. The beer-can wall in the dorm is NOT load-bearing.
9. Beer on whiskey, mighty risky; whiskey on beer, all is clear; beer on your shirt, take my word, friend: You're *so* not getting laid tonight.

Meu &lt;i&gt;template&lt;/i&gt; é um lixo. Como ninguém nunca quis me ajudar a fazer um &lt;i&gt;template&lt;/i&gt; decente (leia-se: presentear-me com um já pronto), eu devo avisar que isto aqui fica simplesmente horroroso se sua configuração for menor que 1024x768. Aliás, faça um favor a você: não deixe a configuração em 800x600. É feio pra chuchu, tudo fica grandão, desengonçado. 

Ah, é só pra avisar que eu tenho &lt;a href="http://www.tag-board.com" target="_blank"&gt;"The least technologically advanced

"The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relationships in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power." 

Não entendeu? Não??? Sinto, mas você não está apto a acompanhar as novas tendências dos estudos pós-modernos. Sua incapacidade de compreensão denota uma indiscutível rigidez mental e, claro, ultrapassada, para com as novas e libertadoras tendências das Humanidades - em termos mais claros, os seus construtos mentais e sociais não permitem que sua mente absorva os novos conceitos oriundos de delírios epistemológicos onanistas. Fique sabendo que o parágrafo aí em cima foi escrito por Judith Butler, a professora de retórica e literatura comparada que já foi descrita como uma das "10 pessoas mais inteligentes do planeta". Leia mais uma vez, com calma. Não entendeu? É porque você não está entre as 10 pessoas mais inteligentes do mundo, oras. 

Outro exemplo de prosa invejável é "If, for a while, the ruse of desire is calculable for the uses of discipline soon the repetition of guilt, justification, pseudo -scientific theories, superstition, spurious authorities, and classification can be seen as the desperate effort to 'normalize' formally the disturbance of a discourse of splitting that violates the rational, enlightened claims of its enunciatory modality." Pérola de Homi K. Bhabba, da Universidade de Chicago. 

São dois exemplos discutidos nesse &lt;a href="http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/badwriting.html" target="_blank"&gt;textinho&lt;/a&gt; de Paula Simons. Butler e Bhabba (hahaha, dá um ótimo título de desenho animado) são os ilustres ganhadores do prêmio do &lt;i&gt;Bad Writing Contest&lt;/i&gt;, do periódico neo-zelandês &lt;a href="http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/philosophy_and_literature/" target="_blank" title="edited by Dennis Dutton and Patrick Henry"&gt;Philosophy and Literature&lt;/a&gt;. 

E que tal mais esse aqui?

""Indeed dialectical critical realism may be seen under the aspect of Foucauldian strategic reversal--of the unholy trinity of Parmenidean/Platonic/Aristotelean provenance; of the Cartesian-Lockean-Humean-Kantian paradigm, of foundationalisms (in practice, fideistic foundationalisms) and irrationalisms (in practice, capricious exercises of the will-to-power or some other ideologically and/or psycho-somatically buried source) new and old alike; of the primordial failing of western philosophy, ontological monovalence, and its close ally, the epistemic fallacy with its ontic dual; of the analytic problematic laid down by Plato, which Hegel served only to replicate in his actualist monovalent analytic reinstatement in transfigurative reconciling dialectical connection, while in his hubristic claims for absolute idealism he inaugurated the Comtean, Kierkegaardian and Nietzschean eclipses of reason, replicating the fundaments of positivism through its transmutation route to the superidealism of a Baudrillard."

Segundo o fundador do Concurso, &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/4942/dutton.html" target="_blank" title="Leia!!!"&gt;David Dutton&lt;/a&gt;, o textículo da capa do livro o qualifica como "a obra mais acessível do autor até o momento". O gênio em questão é um tal de Roy Bhaskar. Afinal, como diz o David Dutton, "to ask what this means is to miss the point. This sentence beats readers into submission and instructs them that they are in the presence of a great and deep mind. Actual communication has nothing to do with it."

E, afinal de contas, o que fez com que os textos acadêmicos vestissem tal barafunda psicoanalítica-lacaniana-desconstrucionista-rortyana? Jay Tolson responde &lt;a href="http://wwics.si.edu/OUTREACH/WQ/WQSELECT/WITT.HTM" target="_blank" title="Wittgenstein's Curse"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. Quem imprimir e ler por último é mulher do padre. 

PS:Quer continuar a desvendar os segredos da decadência da cultura acadêmica norte-americana? Leia o texto do &lt;a href="http://wwics.si.edu/OUTREACH/WQ/WQSELECT/MENAND.HTM" target="_blank" title="Unidisciplined"&gt;Louis Menand&lt;/a&gt; junto com o do Tolson. Lá pelas tantas ele afirma: "Once a device for professional self-control, the doctoral degree has become a fetish of the academic culture". Ele devia fazer uma visita à UnB!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-78108644?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/78108644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/78108644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#78108644' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-78107436</id><published>2002-06-23T19:14:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-06-23T19:14:53.270-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;sortuda&lt;/b&gt;

Não esqueci: foi "de propósito". O dia não estava lá muito &lt;i&gt;Ulysses&lt;/i&gt; - que - eu admito! eu admito!!!! - eu nunca li inteiro. Mas &lt;i&gt;Dubliners&lt;/i&gt; eu li. E arrisco dizer, correndo o risco de ser apedrejada em praça pública, que &lt;i&gt;Dubliners&lt;/i&gt; é melhor que o resto.

Ontem, após um jantar com muitos relatos de "causos" (no melhor estilo Manuelzão/Guimarães Rosa), só mesmo eu para deixar de terminar um capítulo de &lt;a href="http://www.rogerscruton.com/thinker_new_left.htm" title="roger scruton" target="_blank"&gt;Thinkers of the New Left&lt;/a&gt; para ir a um festa junina com mais umas cinco pessoas e entrar sem pagar - até agora não sei o que foi dito para a moça que coletava os ingressos. Havia, claro, música esquisita e pessoas que dançavam de jeito esquisito. Não, nada de forró e quadrilha. Ninguém vai me convencer de que os homens que estavam dançando como as dançarinas de pagodeiros/bandas de "axé" são, de fato, homens. &lt;i&gt;Alas&lt;/i&gt;, ou, como diziam os gregos, &lt;i&gt;oimoi&lt;/i&gt;, devo dizer que a &lt;i&gt;maioria&lt;/i&gt; dos homens dançava assim. Não me surpreenderia se alguma ala feminista achasse uma gracinha, válido para ventilar o lado feminino dos machos brasileiros. Parecia um ritual de acasalento de lagartixas - quase engasguei no quentão. Resolvemos atacar a comida. Bom, apesar de a festa sequer lembrar as festas juninas da infância, eu pude estrear meu lindo casaco novo. Só eu comi cocada (que nem chegava aos chinelos da cocada da minha falecida avó - que era baiana, ôxe) e gastei dinheiro com aqueles joguinhos toscos de pescaria e pontaria. Sequer ganhei um daqueles ursinhos mal-feitos que parecem decoração de quarto dos filmes do Almodóvar. Falando em pontaria, existe uma academia de tiro aqui perto de casa. Hehe. A festa ficou chata, então fomos jogar pôquer com feijão até as 5 da madrugada na casa dos Sr.e Sra. Falkini, com música de fundo que parecia, mas não era, Duke Ellington. Aí, inesperadamente, eu saio com um straight flush!!! Claro que tinha de ser só feijão - se fosse dinheiro, eu não teria essa sorte toda. O mesmo aconteceu com o bolão Brasil X Inglaterra. Chutei 2 X 1. Depois, não sei por que cargas d´água, mudei de idéia.

Bring me home
To this house of many days
Just lay me on the floor 
Hard and cool as slate
You know I love it more and more
Than before I ran away
It triggers off so many hurts
Hurtful words and broken plates

I've been lied to
I'm fuzzy
I've been lied to

All and all the world is small enough for both of us
To meet upon the interstate
Waiting on a train
And just when those big arms lift up
Fall in love with no time to say

I would have liked to
But I'm fuzzy
I've been lied to
Now I'm fuzzy
Fuzzy now

Here we are, in our car
Driving down the street
We're looking for a place to stop
Have a bite to eat
But we hunger for a bit of faith
To replace the fear
We water like a dead bouquet
It does no good, does it dear

I'd like to
But I'm fuzzy
We've been lied to
I'm fuzzy
Fuzzy now

"As François Mitterand was heard to say the other day, teasing at a shrimp vol-au-vent at some Quay d'Orsay reception to do with the Channel Tunnel, 'Aujourd'hui, mes amis, et les anglais, nous sommes tous de necessite structuralistes.'

"And we may take it Mitterand's statement was true, or as true as true is in a time when, thanks to deconstruction , truth is very much an open question. For it is quite certain that these two separate yet related tendencies (structuralism and deconstruction ) are our philosophy, our condition, our crisis and our promise, and we cannot say nay to them. Whether we realise it or not, they dominate the flavour of life and thinking in the last quarter of the 20th century just as existentialism did in the third quarter. They are, in the realm of cognition, what Texas is to California in the realm of growth potential and property values, but with the added advantage of not being directly oil related. Where existentialism was intense and heavy, strong on plight and anguish, structuralism-deconstruction , in keeping with the times, is clean absurdism or cool philosophy; it is laid back, requires no weighty black gear, and goes very well with Perrier water and skiing."

Trechos do &lt;a href="http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/fall1995/young.htm" title="sinopse da biografia do homem, escrita por Fred Douglas Young" target="_blank"&gt;Weaver&lt;/a&gt;:

"Every man participating in a culture has three levels of conscious reflection: his specific ideas about things, his general beliefs or convictions, and his metaphysical dream of the world.

"The first of these are the thoughts he employs in the activity of daily living; they direct his disposition of immediate matters and, so, constitute his wordliness. One can exist on this level alone for limited periods, though pure wordliness must eventually bring disharmony and conflict. 

"Above this lies his body of beliefs, some of which may be heritages simply, but others of which he will have acquired in the ordinary course of his reflection. Even the simplest souls define a few rudimentary conceptions about the world, which they repeatedly apply as choices present themselves. These, too, however, rest on something more general. 

"Surmounting all is an intuitive feeling about the immanent nature of reality, and this is the sanction to which both ideas and beliefs are ultimately referred for verification. Without the metaphysical dream it is impossible to think of men living together harmoniously over an extent of time. The dream carries with it an evaluation, which is the bond of the spiritual community."

The ground war in Afghanistan heated up yesterday when the Allies revealed plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist philosophers into the country to destroy the morale of the remaining Taliban zealots by proving the non-existence of God. 

Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or ’Black Berets’, will be parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt, despondency and existential anomie among the enemy. Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long occupation of Paris’s Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of sidewalk cafes at strategic points near the front lines. 

There they will drink coffee and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of life and man's lonely isolation in the universe. They will be accompanied by a number of heartbreakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further spread dismay by sticking their tongues in the philosophers' ears every five minutes and looking remote and unattainable to everyone else. 

Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his confidence in the success of their mission. Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, a very intense and unshaven young man in a black pullover, gesticulated wildly and said, "The Taliban are caught in a logical fallacy of the most ridiculous. There is no God and I can prove it. Take your tongue out of my ear, Juliet, I am talking." 

Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man's nauseating freedom of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the films of Alfred Hitchcock. 

However, humanitarian agencies have been quick to condemn the operation as inhumane, pointing out that the effects of passive smoking from the Frenchmens' endless Gitanes could wreak a terrible toll on civilians in the area. 

Speculation was mounting last night that Britain may also contribute to the effort by dropping Professor Stephen Hawking into Afghanistan to propagate his non-deistic theory of the creation of the universe. 
  
Other tactics to demonstrate the non-existence of God will include the dropping of leaflets pointing out the fact that Michael Jackson has a new album out and Oprah Winfrey has not died yet.

O clima é &lt;i&gt;noir&lt;/i&gt; até o último fio de cabelo cortado pelo barbeiro - até os momentos em que você tropeça e ri sem culpa das piadinhas típicas dos filmes dos Coen.

Amanhã acordo muito cedo, mas ainda assim não consegui resistir a compartilhar com meus complacentes leitores o adorável texto da tradutora &lt;a href="http://accurapid.com/journal/20prof.htm"&gt;Verónica Albin&lt;/a&gt; para a seção &lt;i&gt;Translator Profile&lt;/i&gt; do Translation Journal (do &lt;a href="http://www.accurapid.com" target="_blank" title="accurapid"&gt;Gabe Bokor&lt;/a&gt;, que fala "máquina de busca" para &lt;i&gt;search engine&lt;/i&gt; - uma das tolices sem importância que pesquei quando ele foi dar uma palestra na UnB, nos idos de 2000 - na época, eu estava com inflamação cotovelar aguda; vide o &lt;a href="http://missveen.blogspot.com/2002_03_01_missveen_archive.html#11263388" target="_blank" title="com quem tive um sonho esta noite - está à venda para os analistas de plantão" &gt;post&lt;/a&gt; sobre Billy Wilder). Ela cita o &lt;a href="http://www.resort.com/~prime8/Orwell/patee.html" target="_blank" title="1946"&gt;Orwell&lt;/a&gt; para falar sobre textos "modernos" e deselegantes, em inglês, que por vezes temos de traduzir (feios dragões que enfrentamos como um São Jorge armado de dicionários, &lt;a href="http://www.trados.com/" target="_blank" &gt;Trados&lt;/a&gt;, Copernic e, &lt;i&gt;most of all&lt;/i&gt;, bom senso) - mais especificamente, um exemplo de "tradução", em inglês "moderno", que o Orwell dá para uma passagem do &lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05244b.htm" target="_blank" title="Catholic Encyclopedia"&gt;Eclesiastes&lt;/a&gt;. "Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account" seria a tradução em inglês feio e moderno para "I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." E a Verónica arremata: "Now that I'm writing this piece, it surprises me to confess that when I first started translating nearly a score years ago I did not fear metonymies and metaphors, nor similes and synecdoches. I can perhaps explain it away by saying that &lt;b&gt;as a student all I had to do was recognize figures of speech, understand them, and sometimes comment on them in a way that wouldn't sound too stupid for an A. As a translator, I no longer have that luxury. I have also learned that beautiful English does not have to be as loaded with figures of speech as the quoted verse to be extremely difficult to translate. The complexity of translating the beauty, brevity, and alliteration of Dylan Thomas' extraordinary semantic deviation "A grief ago" is capable of making any healthy heart stop beating&lt;/b&gt;."

Sempre me perguntaram o porquê do "I eat meat" que estava aí do lado (saiu do ar, acho). Simples: porque tive amigos &lt;i&gt;vegan &lt;/i&gt;e tentei ser &lt;i&gt;vegan&lt;/i&gt; durante uns meses - mas não pude resistir ao cheiro de &lt;i&gt;bacon&lt;/i&gt;; porque &lt;i&gt;vegans&lt;/i&gt; são, invariavelmente, pessoas chatas; e, principalmente, porque morro de rir com alguns dos argumentos de quem não come carne ("o seu nível de espiritualidade está diretamente relacionado àquilo que você come", "pessoas que consumem proteína animal tendem a ser mais violentas", e por aí vai) - gente que não entende patavina de "espiritualidade" ou dos prazeres da boa mesa. O "I eat meat", portanto, era menos um &lt;i&gt;statement&lt;/i&gt; do que uma brincadeira: adoro espetar &lt;i&gt;vegans&lt;/i&gt; assim como espeto, com muito gosto, um bife acebolado. Claro que tenho minhas fraquezas: se você me apresentar a vaquinha Mimosa hoje, e fizer churrasco de seus apetitosos quartos traseiros amanhã, não conseguirei comer. O mesmo vale para galinhas, patos, coelhos. Um trauma de infância, na verdade: uma vez vi, aos 5 anos, minha avó degolar uma galinha para o jantar - fiquei 2 meses comendo só chocolate. Portanto, não posso ver o bicho vivo antes, ou morro de remorso. Mas é preciso ser um &lt;i&gt;vegan&lt;/i&gt; empedernido para não rir com o &lt;a href="http://www.nypress.com/15/19/news&amp;columns/first.cfm" target="_blank" title="Stop the Killing!"&gt;artigo&lt;/a&gt; do Cliff Yankovich: "On the other hand, what Meatans consume is quite dead. In my years of meat consumption, I have never purchased orange roughy or steak capable of registering pain when put on the grill. When vegetarians slice a still-ripening tomato they are brutally carving into a living, feeling thing. Consider how the protective coating of a banana is ripped off to reveal the still-growing-and-maturing soft inside, which is bitten into hunks and masticated into a formless mass. Barbarism unbound." É verdade, aquele inerme pepino, aquela inocente maçã podem &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-285331,00.html" target="_blank" title="artigo do Times"&gt;gritar&lt;/a&gt; de dor e agonia quando são fatiados e mastigados sem dó.

Eu nunca li &lt;i&gt;À la Recherche du Temps Perdu&lt;/i&gt; - estou esperando meu francês ficar infinitamente melhor do que o estritamente necessário para ler adaptações do Perrault (risinhos coniventes). Mas já imagino o estado de embriaguês que a leitura do &lt;i&gt;À la Recherche&lt;/i&gt;... deve provocar (anuência da platéia). Ah, sim: lá diz que o Proust tem um site (www.proust.com), mas é balela.

Aos 10, 11 anos, descobri o poder da palavra escrita. Na adolescência, um inocente narcisismo (nascido, em parte, da minha inabilidade de me sentir plenamente à vontade entre meus coevos) fez com que eu acalentasse escrever minhas memórias. Isso mesmo, memórias - a partir de uma vida tão curta, tão sem grandes "feitos". Imaginem um Chatterton sem qualquer talento, nem mesmo o da imitação (gargalhadas gerais).  Era umbiguismo, mas um umbiguismo saudável - daquele que perscruta as coisas de cima a baixo, e não a auto-idolatria pseudo-sincera de um... digamos... Rousseau (sussurros). Tão grande era meu desespero em lembrar das nuances de um fato e de uma lembrança, tão grande minha ânsia para transformar em palavras aquilo que meus sentidos captavam e que se juntava àquilo já vivido, que eu diversas vezes acordei no meio da noite com uma repentina lembrança de um fato sem qualquer conexão com o que quer que estivesse pensando antes de dormir - um pálido fantasma escondido nos recônditos da memória  - mas me perdia em devaneios, e esquecia de anotar o que havia lembrado (lamentos e sussurros). Mais de uma década depois, isso ainda acontece. E eu sei por quê: porque - e aqui está uma horrível e pedante confissão -  um dia - numa dimensão paralela -  pretendo escrever uma mistura de &lt;a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/features/nabokov/speak.html" title="apreciação de Bryan Boyd" target="_blank"&gt;Speak, Memory&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;i&gt;À la Recherche du Temps Perdu&lt;/i&gt; (o autor do primeiro influenciado enormemente pelo do segundo), com uma pitada de vários de meus escritores-heróis. Confissão feita. Agora vamos às nossas atrações (aplausos aliviados).

Eu ia escrever algo agora, mas minha mãe quer que eu vá comprar torta de morango. Sabe como é, torta de morango. Mais tarde tenho de traduzir mais um pouco do livro de Jodo (para as aulas de Jodo do meu Sensei, o Lapa) e, quem sabe, no fim da tarde desse insípido domingo tipicamente brasiliense (sol, árvores paradas, clima de hecatombe nuclear) eu vá ver o trabalho de legendagem do Pedro no &lt;a href="http://divirta-se.correioweb.com.br/fic.htm" title="Festival Internacional de Cinema - o link é do odioso jornal local, Correio Braziliense" target="_blank"&gt;FIC&lt;/a&gt;, lá no Cine Academia. Portanto, ó paciente leitor, fique de prontidão: em breve, mais links e idiossincrasias e "lack [of] all conviction", como diria o pálido poeta irlandês, disfarçada em "intensity" (sim, porque eu finjo a paixão muitas vezes).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-75655387?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/75655387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/75655387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#75655387' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-75137763</id><published>2002-04-07T17:18:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-04-07T17:18:45.940-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;um mundo feito de idéias, ou: o horror na ficção-científica, ou: a assustadora semelhança entre a ficção científica e a ideologia disfarçada de religião, ou: parem o mundo que eu quero descer&lt;/b&gt;

Os artigos do Bob Wallace são, em geral, maravilhosos. &lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/wallace/wallace31.html" target="_blank" title="Spell-Bound and Hell-Bound"&gt;Este&lt;/a&gt; é sobre o elemento religioso e o horror (como estilo literário) existente no cerne da ficção científica. Atenção, fãs de Star Trek, wiccas, Objetivistas &lt;i&gt;et caterva&lt;/i&gt;: o conteúdo lhes poderá ser bastante ofensivo. Trechinhos:

"I wrote an article here a little while ago about &lt;a href="http://www.the-son-of-god.com" target="_blank" title="engraçadíssimo"&gt;David Icke&lt;/a&gt;, a nutcase/fraud/con man who has decided he is the only man in the world who has discovered the "fact" that all the rulers of all countries, past and present, are descended from human-blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian space-aliens. In other words, Dubya turns into a lizard when no one's looking. The Gore-bot, too. Since Tom Daschle already looks reptilian, I won't discuss him, since he actually proves Icke's thesis.

(...)

"Not surprisingly, several people wrote me defending this Icke nut. How did I know this guy's a loon? Not only because what he writes is so preposterous that no one in his or her right mind can believe it, but because what he is writing is horror and science-fiction disguised as religion. I recognized it immediately. And that's what I meant about those 200 books preparing me for the Real World. If you take the science-fiction and fantasy out of Icke's writings, what you have left is pretty much nothing. 

"This is why when I first read the beliefs of the Nation of Islam I knew I was reading science-fiction. And pretty imaginative stuff, too. Here we have the white race of "blue-eyed devils" created by the "big-head scientist" Mr. Yakub in a science experiment gone horribly wrong. There are people living inside the Moon, and there is a "mother ship" spacecraft circling the Earth, just waiting to vaporize us honkies if we mess with the Nation. It would be great stuff if some people didn't actually believe it. The same thing happened when I read &lt;i&gt;Atlas Shrugged&lt;/i&gt;. Although Rand's fans rarely realize it, the novel is science fiction and horror. The SF is mediocre – Galt's Tesla-like motor is a staple of '30's pulp fiction. What's really interesting about the novel is the horror in it, specifically the fact it is about the Vampire archetype. 

(...)

"It never surprised me when I found that in the '50's so many Objectivists (which is science-fiction qua religion) turned to Scientology (also science-fiction pretending to be religion), which was created by the second-rate SF writer L. Ron Hubbard. My experience with Objectivists is that most of them remind me of &lt;i&gt;Trekkies &lt;/i&gt;(oh, excuse me, I mean &lt;i&gt;Trekkers&lt;/i&gt;), and Star Trek, for the hardcore fans, has almost turned into a religion. Whether or not the SF and horror in &lt;i&gt;Atlas Shrugged&lt;/i&gt; improves the novel is debatable, but &lt;b&gt;it still fantastic fiction masquerading as a Bible&lt;/b&gt;. 

"Whenever I mock Objectivism or evolutionary theory or David Icke or confused fundamentalists (and all are eminently mockable) I have gotten people railing at me. The reason? I'm making fun of their religion. Hence, the vicious attacks on me. I'm a heretic and an apostate. And stupid and ignorant. And probably ugly, too. Wait, let me look in the mirror. Oh, no, it's true! What none realize (and many never will) is that they believe in fantasy, horror, and science-fiction pretending to be religion. 

(...)

"Year ago Richard Weaver wrote the book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0226876802/qid=1018210299/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_67_1/104-5785133-7151107" target="_blank" title="the catastrophes of our age are the product of unintelligent choice, and the cure lies in man's recognition that ideas--like actions--have consequences"&gt;Ideas Have Consequences&lt;/a&gt;. He was right. Indeed, the world is ultimately run by little else but ideas. What I find interesting is that ideas are non-material. You could consider them Ghosts (there are Good Ghosts, like political liberty and the free market, and Bad Ghosts like Marxism), but they are still Ghosts. The Ghosts themselves are harmless. But when people believe them and turn them into reality...sometimes we have Bad Ghosts morphing into Monsters. 

&lt;i&gt;"Puzzling, isn't it, that people will die for their Bad Ghosts and their Monsters? It sounds like idolatry. I guess it's true – people really are fallen creatures."&lt;/i&gt; 

E, no fim do artigo, uma verdade assombrosa. É ver para crer.

&lt;i&gt;Doublethink&lt;/i&gt; means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. 

(George Orwell, &lt;i&gt;1984&lt;/i&gt;).

Hoje eu hereticamente bato no liqüidificador vários Keats (e sem Chapman).

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow
Lethe's weed and Hermes' feather
Come today, and come tomorrow,
I do love you both together!

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know'

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never 
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Ouvi ontem, por acaso, do som de um carro que passava pela rua. Alguém lembra?

Oh mother, I can feel
the soil falling over my head.

And when I lie into an empty bed -
oh well. Enough said.

I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go.

Oh mother, I can feel
the soil falling over my head.

See, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
- do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride, please, be happy
Handsome groom, give her room.
Loud, loutish lover - treat her kindly
though she NEEDS you more than she LOVES you…

I know it's over
and it could've never really begun
but in my heart it was &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; real.

And you even spoke to me
and said:
"if you're so funny
"then why are you on your own tonight?
"if you're so clever
"then why are you on your own tonight?
"if you're so very entertaining
"then why are you on your own tonight?
"if you're so very good-looking
"why do you sleep alone tonight?
"I know:
"cause tonight is just like any other night
"that's why you're on your own tonight
"with your triumphs and your charms
"&lt;i&gt;while they're on very each other's arms...&lt;/i&gt;"

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes STRENGTH to be GENTLE and KIND

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind.

Love is NATURAL and REAL
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But &lt;i&gt;not for such as you and I&lt;/i&gt;.

Oh mother, I can feel
the soil falling over my head.

E, também ao contrário de sua intransigente e histérica versão mais famosa, o &lt;a href="http://www.forumdaliberdade.com.br"&gt;Fórum da Liberdade&lt;/a&gt; convida gente "do outro lado" (aqui, no caso, gente que não é tão amante assim da liberdade). Fórum é pra isso, oras. Não pra ficar fumando maconha, vendendo camiseta do Che Guevara e lambendo os pés do Chomsky.

Com um artigo do Bob Wallace. Eu já a achava pretensiosa - escreveu um livro (&lt;i&gt;The Art of Fiction&lt;/i&gt;) sobre ficção onde ela (nada surpreendente) utiliza suas próprias "obras literárias" para descrever o processo perfeito de escrita -, e nunca engoli esse papo de que &lt;i&gt;qualquer comportamento humano&lt;/i&gt;, inclusive o altruísmo, decorre pura e simplesmente do egoísmo. Wallace &lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/wallace/wallace27.html" target="_blank" title="the secret teachings of ayn rand"&gt;expõe direitinho&lt;/a&gt; o porquê de a filosofia Objetivista igualar-se ao Socialismo, ao Nazismo e a outros -ismos em algo comum a todas essas ideologias: em todos há a tendência a se projetar no outro aquilo que há de ruim em si próprio, fazer do outro um bode expiatório, valendo o sacrifício humano para se lutar pela "nobre causa". E, francamente, saber que a Ayn Rand coloca como blocos antagônicos as tríades "capitalismo, razão, egoísmo" e "altruísmo, misticismo, coletivismo" é deveras decepcionante - parece coisa de menino de escola. &lt;i&gt;Thank you, Bob&lt;/i&gt; (só espero que o pessoal do &lt;a href="http://samizdata.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;samizdata&lt;/a&gt; não fique muito chateado). 

Lá no &lt;a href="http://www.aynrand.org" title="Ayn Rand Institute" target="_blank"&gt;site &lt;/a&gt;da Rand dão uma breve explicação do que é o Objetivismo. Eu só me pergunto: como é que o niilismo pode ser decorrente do altruísmo ou do misticismo ou, até mesmo, do coletivismo? Eu, hein.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-11086802?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/11086802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/11086802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#11086802' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-11085498</id><published>2002-03-25T00:49:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-03-25T00:52:29.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;le dictionnaire des idées reçues

MST invade a fazenda de FHC. E ainda são engraçados, de se contorcer de rir, como vemos nessas declarações do Sr. Romário Rosetto: "Achamos que o governo deve procurar uma solução sem uso da violência e da força, uma solução negociada com o uso do bom senso” (claro, o MST é tão bonzinho e gentil) e “Somos um movimento independente das ações político-partidárias” (claro, que loucura a nossa - achar que o MST é propaganda petista e movimento revolucionário socialista óbvio e ululante). E aproveitaram para usar o telefone e entrar em contato com a imprensa nacional e internacional, como nos diz o &lt;a href="http://www.estado.estadao.com.br/editorias/2002/03/24/ger016.html" target="_blank"&gt;artigo&lt;/a&gt; do Estadão.

Coisas que descobri neste meio tempo em que deixei este weblog às eventuais moscas:

1) Acho o &lt;a href="http://www.estado.estadao.com.br/colunistas/piza.html" target="_blank" title="será que se eu decorar o Comunicação em Prosa Moderna eles me contratam no lugar dele?"&gt;Daniel Píteça&lt;/a&gt; cada vez mais chato - seu estilo cediço de não ficar nem lá nem cá ao mesmo tempo em que "finge ser perverso" (sinto-me tão wildeana hoje) ao leitor médio de jornal é absurdamente carne de vaca. 

2) Meu atual emprego me deixa exausta.

3) Volta e meia descobre-se que existe vida inteligente na UnB (reencontrei minha colega Ruth).

4) Gatos são tão ou mais manhosos e exigentes que cães.

5) É engraçado ver gente que tem idade pra ser minha mãe/meu pai fazendo mestrado em "Literatura Feminista" e achando que é algo sério - e ai de você se fizer um comentário sarcástico.

6) Tenho leitores que ainda vêm por aqui apesar de não haver atualização há mais de uma semana. Mesuras. Obrigadas. Do fundo do coração.

7) "A friend in need is a friend indeed" - ainda estou decidindo se dá para aplicar a todos os amigos. Falando em amigos, tenho de escrever para pelo menos uns cinco (Jim, Eric, Nathália, Raquel, Dan). 

8) Tenho de jogar meu colchão fora; do contrário, problema de coluna na certa.

9) Estou viciada em chocolate.

10) A &lt;a href="http://pombostrans.blogspot.com" target="_blank" title="enigmatic mermaid"&gt;merm&lt;/a&gt; é viciada em blog - e espero que continue a sê-lo.

11) A &lt;a href="http://www.ilanamercer.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ilana Mercer&lt;/a&gt; escreve bem pra garáleo - embora seja meio ranzinza (só às vezes, só às vezes...)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-11080840?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/11080840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/11080840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#11080840' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-10656139</id><published>2002-03-12T11:33:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-03-13T17:08:51.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;enigmatic mermaid&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"As George Orwell informed us, those who seek power over others must inevitably master the process of corrupting words into contradictory meanings. If you are able to understand how and why this is accomplished, you may also be able to appreciate the concern of those who are fussy about the way language is used in any setting in which men and women seek to communicate meaning to one another. To paraphrase Orwell, sloppy language produces a sloppy mind, and sloppy minds have produced the world as it is today."&lt;/i&gt;

Fazia tempo que eles não apareciam por aqui. Cortesia do Myles (na Gopaleen), também conhecido como Brian O'Nolan, também conhecido como Flann O'Brien.

ONE EVENING KEATS, working quietly at his books, was devastated by an inundation of Chapman. The poet's friend was distended with passion, inarticulate, a man driven mad by jealousy. When given a drink and pacified, he related the events which led to his condition. To a lady of the most ravishing beauty he had lost his heart; his sentiment was warmly reciprocated, and an early marriage was all that remained to perfect his bliss. Quite suddenly, however, a lout of an artist who specialised in ladies' portraits arrived upon the scene, begged to be permitted to paint the lady, and was granted this boon by the unthinking lover. His chagrin and rage may be guessed when it is revealed that the rascally artist forthwith laid siege to the lady's heart - with not inconsiderable results. After a time she ceased to be in when Chapman called with flowers; on two occasions she had been seen boating with this artist.

'I am beside myself', Chapman cried, beating his head, 'and so far as I can see only two courses are open to me. I must either take my razor and slit that wretched fellow's throat from ear to ear - that or terminate completely my association with this woman, break off utterly and irrevocably my association with her!"

Keats considered the problem in silence for a considerable time. Finally he spoke:

'If I were you,' he said, 'I'd cut the painter'.


*****

CHAPMAN once fell in love and had not been long plying his timid attentions when it was brought to his noitce that he had a rival. This rival, a ferocious and burly character, surprised Chapman in the middle of a tender conversation with the lady and immediately challenged him to a duel, being, as he said, prohibited from breaking him into pieces there and then merely by the presence of the lady.

Chapman, who was no duelist, went home and explained what had happened to Keats.

'And I think he means business', he added. 'I fear it is a case of "pistols for two, coffee for one". Will you be my second?'

'Certainly', Keats said, 'and since you have the choice of weapons I think you should choose swords rather than pistols.'

Chapman agreed. The rendezvous was duly made and one morning at dawn Keats and Chapman drove in a cab to the dread spot. The poet had taken the 'coffee for one' remark rather too literally and hd brought along a small quantity of coffee, sugar, milk, a coffee-pot, a cup, saucer and spoon, together with a small stove and some paraffin.

After the usual formaities, Chapman and the rival fell to sword play. The two men fought fiercely, edging hither and tither about the sward. Keats, kneeling and priming the stove, was watching anxiously and saw that his friend was weakening. Suddenly, Chapman's guard fell and his opponent drew back to plunge his weapon home. Keats, with a lightning flick of his arm took up the stove and hurled it at the blade that was poised to kill! With such force and aim so deadly was the stove hurled that it smashed the blade in three places. Chapman was saved!

The affair ended in bloodless recriminations. Chapman was warm in his thanks to Keats.

'You saved my life', he said, 'by hurling the stove between our blades. You're tops!'

'Primus inter parries', Keats said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-10556530?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/10556530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/10556530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#10556530' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-10556445</id><published>2002-03-09T10:04:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-03-09T10:22:03.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;a fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees *&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.olavodecarvalho.org" target="_blank" title="sapientiam autem non vincit malitia"&gt;Ele&lt;/a&gt; esteve por aqui. Ele fala como se despejasse as palavras dentro de você e - &lt;i&gt;voilà&lt;/i&gt; - o caminho para o sentido verdadeiro começa a se esboçar lá no horizonte. Avante, avante.

A filosofia não pode escapar a uma abordagem a um tempo sistemática e aporética. &lt;a href="http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~ppp/Kant.html" title="escritos no original e traduzidos em inglês" target="_blank"&gt;Kant&lt;/a&gt; como o "Robespierre da filosofia" (a tortuosidade e falsidade da "coisa-em-si"). A necessidade de estudo do Poder da autoridade profética. Marx como inversão de Kant, não de &lt;a href="http://www.ets.uidaho.edu/mickelsen/hegel310.htm" target="_blank" title="em inglês"&gt;Hegel&lt;/a&gt; (como pretendia). Em Hegel, o cognitivo é confundido com o ontológico. &lt;a href="http://sweb.uky.edu/~rsand1/Husserl/" title="the Husserl page" target="_blank"&gt;Husserl&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.olavodecarvalho.org/livros/4discursos.htm" target="_blank" title="introdução"&gt;Os quatro discursos &lt;/a&gt;de Aristóteles. 

A &lt;b&gt;compreensão&lt;/b&gt; da variedade poucos têm. E é pressuposto básico à investigação filosófica. Como ele mesmo disse, filosofia não é para moleques.

Mas, até fins de abril, &lt;a href="http://www.libraries.psu.edu/iasweb/nabokov/nsintro.htm" target="_blank" title="not flimsy nonsense, but a web of sense"&gt;ele&lt;/a&gt; - além do novo emprego - toma todo o meu tempo. E o &lt;a href="http://www.fulmerford.com/strobe/blogger.html" target="_blank" title="weblog do juan martinez"&gt;Juan&lt;/a&gt; ainda me dá uma mãozinha, ajudando com uma ou outra coisinha que não consigo achar.

Muito divertido: resolveram sacanear o blog e colocaram aquela foto do coelhinho de pelúcia rosa no lugar da ilustração do Rackham (quem veio aqui antes deve ter visto). O problema parece ter sido resolvido. Desculpas a meus leitores. Também estou verificando o que pode ter ocorrido, e como fizeram tal proeza. Imagino uma cena: eu, um soco inglês e a bicha covarde que fez isso, devidamente amarrada numa cadeira.

&lt;img src="http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/german/brecht/graphics/brecht.gif"&gt; "O pior analfabeto é o analfabeto político. Ele não ouve, não fala, nem participa dos acontecimentos políticos. Ele não sabe que o custo de vida, o preço do feijão, do peixe, da farinha, do aluguel, do sapato e do remédio dependem das decisões políticas. O analfabeto político é tão burro que se orgulha e estufa o peito dizendo que odeia a política. Não sabe o imbecil que da sua ignorância política nasce a prostituta, o menor abandonado, e o pior de todos os bandidos que é o político vigarista, pilantra, o corrupto e lacaio dos exploradores do povo." Esta famosa citação, atribuída a Bertolt Brecht, foi a única coisa que li do homem. Disse atribuída porque, uma vez feito popstar, um intelectual pode ter suas linhas alteradas/interpretadas de acordo com a ordem do dia estabelecida por seus fãs. Eu a li num cartazinho de biblioteca pública, aos quinze anos - idade perigosa. O marxismo pop sempre será atraente aos jovens, parece.

O Brecht era um sujeito genial que sabia muito bem manipular a própria imagem. Arrisco dizer que foi o primeiro &lt;i&gt;popstar&lt;/i&gt; dos comunistas. E que jogo de cintura o homem tinha. Jogava em vários times e sempre se safava. Sabia jogar com a imagem do gênio &lt;i&gt;malentendu&lt;/i&gt; que vinha dar o ar de sua santa intelectualidade às massas, como descreve o Paul Johnson: "(...)So some of his [Brecht's] ideas derived from across the Atlantic. But others were distinctively Eruopean. The belted leather jerkin and cap had been favoured by the violent young men of the Cheka which Lenin created early in 1918. To this Brecht added his own invention, a leather tie and waistcoats with cloth sleeves. He wanted to look &lt;b&gt;half student, half workman and wholly smart&lt;/b&gt;.(...) He completed his personal style by devising a special way of combing his hair straight down over his forehead an by maintaining a perpetual three-day beard, never more, never less. These touches were to be widely imitated by young intellectuals thirty, forty, even fifty years later. They also copied his habit of wearing steel-rimmed spectacles.(...)" (no capítulo "Bertolt Brecht: Heart of Ice", &lt;i&gt;Intellectuals&lt;/i&gt;). Hoje, é claro, o popstar dos jovens é o Che Guevara, ídolo de muito moleque de 12 a 18 anos (às vezes - &lt;i&gt;alas &lt;/i&gt; - até bem mais tarde). Seu rosto de "mártir revolucionário"  - guerrilheiro sanguinário e estrategista medíocre seria mais acurado - está estampado em cartazes e camisetas. Tudo isso porque "o senso das proporções nunca foi o ponto forte da modernidade", como diz o &lt;a href="http://oglobo.globo.com/colunas/olavo.htm" title="Galileu e Brecht"&gt;Olavo de Carvalho&lt;/a&gt; nos abrindo os olhos, através da verdade sobre o uso de Galileu na obra do Brecht, sobre o iluminismo e a modernidade, que "inaugurou a época dos direitos humanos condenando à morte, no prazo de um ano, dez vezes mais gente do que a Inquisição havia matado em quatro séculos. Lembrar essa diferença substantiva entre as trevas medievais e as luzes modernas é, porém, considerado sintoma de mau gosto e prova de reacionarismo. Também não é coisa de pessoa educada lembrar que o próprio termo 'iluminismo' não significa só o esclarecimento das idéias, como o pretendia Kant — inventor da 'coisa em si', a doutrina mais obscura e impenetrável que alguém já concebeu —, mas também o culto do 'magnetismo animal', do hipnotismo, do sonambulismo, das sociedades secretas que proliferavam no subsolo como ratazanas alucinadas, bem como de todas as formas de ocultismo, magia negra e satanismo, sem contar o sucesso livreiro das narrativas do marquês de Sade sobre virgens acorrentadas em porões, surradas, estupradas e obrigadas a beber sangue humano".

Eu adoro o som da palavra "gato" - acho que tem tudo a ver com o bicho. E o meu gato vai bem.

O filme é uma droga - desonesto até o último fio de cabelo. Pasteurizaram - além do necessário a um filme - as teorias do John Nash. Sem contar que, ao jogar a esquizofrenia e a paranóia do John Nash como algo simplesmente projetado na espionagem russa, a idéia que acaba sendo passada ao público é a de que "conspiração" é coisa de gente louca. Mas o Russell Crowe está maravilhoso (sem fotos desta vez, meninas).

Sabe aquele recurso de alguns autores de ficção de colocar reticências onde deveria ser o nome de alguém ou de algum lugar? ("O Sr......., nascido na província de ....., também compareceu ao jantar").  Na adolescência, imaginava que fosse porque o sujeito não conseguiu pensar em nada de interessante para colocar ali e, sob o furor das palavras, deixava para pensar mais tarde no detalhe. Então o livro foi impresso e ficou por isso mesmo. Mas - faz mais sentido - as reticências estão ali para indicar que aquilo (o nome) não tem a menor importância mesmo. O efeito é o mesmo de quando alguém conta uma piada num bar: os supérfluos à piada ficam de fora (o sujeito foi na loja tal, pediu o produto tal etc). E se o primeiro autor a fazer uso das tais reticências realmente &lt;i&gt;esqueceu&lt;/i&gt; de revisar suas provas? Imagine toda a influência que teve - sem querer - sobre a escrita de outros.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-10036689?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/10036689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/10036689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#10036689' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-9814179</id><published>2002-02-17T11:23:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-02-17T11:25:49.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;So ist jeder Übersetzer ein Prophet in seinem Volke (Goethe)&lt;/b&gt;*

Eu juro que eu daria muita gargalhada, não fosse esse um assunto sério. Sabe o que você é, se quiser defender sua residência contra quem vier assaltar sua casa (ou fazer coisa pior com sua família)? Um &lt;b&gt;egoísta&lt;/b&gt;! Pelo menos é isso o que pensam (ingenuidade pensar que são só eles) as foquinhas do jornaleco Correio Braziliense. Em um &lt;a href="http://www2.correioweb.com.br/cw/2002-02-10/mat_32035.htm" target="_blank"&gt;artigo&lt;/a&gt; que deveria ser guardado para a posteridade, os jornalistas deste que deve ser o jornal com maior índice de vírgulas separando sujeito de predicado por folha impressa nos dão um banho de altruísmo e bom-mocismo no melhor estilo politicamente correto, demonstrando que absorveram muito bem todos os "ensinamentos" da saudável atmosfera "inteligente" da UnB. Com base numa pesquisa feita pelo Departamento de Sociologia (sem comentários), descobriram que quem mora em Brasília é "egoísta quando o assunto é segurança. No Distrito Federal, 69% da população acham válido matar para se defender. Essas pessoas se vêem exclusivamente como vítimas da violência". (Reparem no "exclusivamente etc": querem dizer que você, que vai ao supermercado comprar danoninho pro seu filho de 6 anos, é um ser violento, pois é diretamente responsável pela violência de quem não tem dinheiro - você não é vítima, você é &lt;b&gt;causador da violência&lt;/b&gt;. Assim pensam os adeptos da &lt;b&gt;mais-valia pop&lt;/b&gt; temperada com &lt;b&gt;filosofia Rousseau&lt;/b&gt;). Sim, sim, sim: o tom é de reprimenda para quem constrói muros altos para defender sua propriedade, para quem acha válido defender a si próprio do coitadinho bom-selvagem rousseauniano que vem assaltar/matar/estuprar, e para quem ousa cogitar a hipótese de que ter arma de fogo em casa é uma das soluções. "Bian Carlo de Moura, 28 anos, morador de Planaltina, acredita na utilidade das armas de fogo para a defesa pessoal. Guarda a sua em casa, sem porte legal registrado. Rendeu um ladrão no terreno baldio atrás do seu lote. 'Se alguém entrar na minha casa passo bala, acho que as pessoas têm todo direito de fazer isso para se defenderem de bandidos’, afirma. Um pensamento perigoso. Dados da organização não-governamental (ONG) Movimento Nacional de Direitos Humanos (MNDH) mostra, no entanto, que os homicídios praticados por pessoas sem ligação com o crime representaram 24% do total, entre janeiro e junho de 2000." E - paradoxo dos paradoxos - o venerável cidadão Bian Carlo de Moura mora em Planaltina, não no Lago Sul e Norte, locais onde habitam aquelas (segundo o absurdo artigo) criaturas nojentas: os burgueses preconceituosos que ousam cercar as próprias casas e comprar cães de guarda. E lá está uma estatisticazinha básica para "provar" que armas nas mãos de quem quer se defender é uma má idéia. "Homicídio praticado por pessoa sem ligação com crime" é uma antítese digna de Camões - se não está ligado (previamente) ao crime, então só pode ser por motivo passional, ou então porque o sujeito estava mesmo é tentando se defender. Quantas estatísticas existem sobre pessoas que conseguiram defender a casa de um assalto? De mulheres que conseguiram impedir o estupro? Defender sua casa e sua família de bandido é coisa feia, viu? E os caras são muito espertos, como vemos nesse trechinho, digno de distopia huxleyana em sua pavloviana indução de raciocínio: "A maioria dos entrevistados ouvidos pela UnB quer muros altos. Acreditam que, assim, deixarão a violência de fora. Segundo a pesquisa, 46% deles gostariam de ver as superquadras, um dos símbolos do Plano Piloto, cercadas como medida de segurança. O mais impressionante é que deste grupo 67% possuem diploma de curso superior". Fico imaginando o tipo de pergunta indutiva que fizeram na pesquisa para obter as sacrossantas estatísticas. Cercar o plano piloto é utópico demais - meliante entra até pelo ralo, se for necessário. Mas o trecho, é claro, quer dar a entender que é impressionante o fato de pessoas que têm diploma de nível superior serem favoráveis a cercar uma área com baixo índice de criminalidade (em relação ao índice de outras áreas menos favorecidas). Portanto, vós, universitários que fazeis passeatas comandadas pela UNE em frente a ministérios, ou que vos preocupais com "os problemas sociais do país", e que odiais capitalistas (mas estais a ler isto aqui no computador comprado com essa coisa nojenta chamada dinheiro), vós deveríeis ficar envergonhados ao ter uma opinião tão horrorosa como essa - a de que deveis proteger vossa família de vossos irmãos bonzinhos que só querem o vosso bem quando enfiam o cano do revólver em vossa goela. E, claro, lá está a foto de um cidadão "negro" (tão negro quanto uma barra de chocolate diluída em cinco litros de leite) para ilustrar a idéia de que policiais maltratam negros ... porque são negros! Racismo &lt;i&gt;made in USA&lt;/i&gt;: não, nosso preconceito não é social (porque preto significa pobre) e sim porque ele é preto! É assim que a mente da maioria das foquinhas (e jornalistas velhacos) e estudantes de sociologia parece funcionar: incapazes de enxergar um palmo à frente do nariz quando têm de falar sobre sociedade, violência, racismo ou qualquer assunto correlato, os quais já foram devidamente corroídos em suas mentes - mentes que não desconfiam ter sido idealizadas por um &lt;a href="http://members.aol.com/opsgreen/revpar.html" target="_blank" title="big brother is watching you"&gt;italiano corcunda e feioso&lt;/a&gt;.

Sim, agora ela não tem mais aquela cinturinha de vespa. Sabe, ficaram preocupados com essa história de que meninas, adolescentes e mulheres são "escravizadas" pelos "preconceitos da sociedade" e acabam afundando na bulimia, anorexia, esquizofrenia e não-sei-quantas mais -ias. Aí, tiveram uma idéia brilhante: vamos engordar a Barbie! Baseando-se numa modelo que sofria de desordem alimentar e que hoje pesa cerca de 80 kg, a empresa &lt;a href="http://www.roberttonner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Tonner Doll &lt;/a&gt;inventou a boneca Emme. De acordo com o &lt;a href="http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/02/13/wdoll13.xml&amp;sSheet=/news/2002/02/13/ixworld.html" target="_blank" title="barbie faces a really big challenge from model"&gt;artigo do Telegraph&lt;/a&gt;, um porta-voz da empresa disse que a boneca é uma "celebração do corpo feminino, em todos seus tamanhos e formatos. A filosofia de Emme é a de que o mais importante é sentir-se bem consigo mesmo". Traduzindo: a filosofia do "sentir-se feliz a despeito de tudo", difundida pelos psicanalistas modernos, chega ao quarto das crianças. E por que não inventar o Ken que vem com barriga de chopp e joanete? &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3081400-9726723?l=missveen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/9726723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3081400/posts/default/9726723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://missveen.blogspot.com/index.html#9726723' title=''/><author><name>jules</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10623705853183985432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081400.post-9550349</id><published>2002-02-09T14:08:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2002-02-11T09:20:55.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;miss veen news (patrocínio: &lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com" title="corre lá agora" target="_blank"&gt;lew rockwell &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk" target="_blank"&gt;telegraph&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.baguete.com.br/cristal/cristal.asp" title="corre lá também" target="_blank"&gt;coluna do cristal&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;

II Guerra: alemães nazistas eram malvados. Russos comunistas eram bonzinhos. Assim, o &lt;a href="http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/02/08/wgrass08.xml&amp;sSheet=/news/2002/02/08/ixworld.html" target ="_blank" title="artigo do Telegraph"&gt;naufrágio do navio Wilhelm Gustloff&lt;/a&gt;, torpedeado pelos russos - tragédia que matou 6 vezes mais gente do que o naufrágio do Titanic - ficou relegado ao mais puro olvido. Por quê? Porque só os alemães eram malvados, e porque as únicas pessoas que desconfiam do lobo em pele de cordeiro do comunismo no filme &lt;a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0215750" title="com o Jude Law e o Ed Harris" target="_blank"&gt;Enemy at the Gates&lt;/a&gt; acabam morrendo. Entendeu? (O artigo também fala do novo livro do Gunter Grass, que por sua vez mistura realidade e ficção sobre o naufrágio do navio alemão - meio que um &lt;i&gt;mea culpa&lt;/i&gt; do esquerdimo do escritor, será?).

Um menino de 16 anos foi assaltar uma casa e se distraiu &lt;a href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_515138.html" target="_blank" title="artigo do ananova"&gt;tocando piano&lt;/a&gt; (não roubou nada, no fim das contas). Aconteceu na Romênia. No Brasil, seria mais ou menos assim: levariam toda a parafernália eletrônica (deixariam o papagaio), roubariam os CDs de axé e pagode (da filha adolescente) e iriam achar o piano coisa de "rico afrescalhado". 

Qual a relação entre Freud e a propaganda do Estado totalitário?  &lt;i&gt;There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/liebermann1.html"&gt;Artigo&lt;/a&gt; de Ron Liebermann. Trechinhos selecionados: 

"(...)&lt;b&gt;modern Western culture is in a state of philosophical bankruptcy. The Total State uses this bankruptcy to pursue three goals: the worship of unreason, the demand for self-sacrifice, and the elevation of society or the state above the individual. These are the same goals that were pursued by Germany during World War Two. They called it National Socialism.&lt;/b&gt;
"National Socialism is a blend of Marxism and Imperialism, which together form the basis of the Total State. Following are a description of each, by Darren Perkins: 
"Marxism is the basis of the governmental system of Socialism. Socialism applies the moral code of humanism, where science is man's ultimate source of wisdom and knowledge. Man is held in restraint by The State that compels and restricts the individual to work for the common good of society. 
"Imperialism is the basis of the governmental system of Corpratism: Corpratism applies the moral code of materialism, with an opportunity to conquer and subjugate, to feed ones indulgence in a system of privilege and class rank. What makes sense gives way to what is possible. Based on the governing principle of supreme dominion, license to participate in the system comes from the Imperial Head and his ruling elite. 
"The objectives of the Total State are twofold. The first is to formalize the rank and privilege of this ruling elite. The second is to eliminate dissent. National Socialism allows the Total State to achieve both objectives. Under the ruse of civic engagement, the wealthy elite dominate the political process through soft-money campaign contributions. This ensures complete political power, and freedom from tax or disclosure obligations. By some estimates, this group has moved trillions of US dollars into hidden offshore bank accounts. This money will never be taxed or acknowledged, yet it controls our government. 
"The second objective, to eliminate dissent, is even easier. &lt;b&gt;Our Marxist university system, which is government subsidized, has defined a narrow set of parameters that qualify as acceptable speech. To engage in dialogue outside those parameters is to risk be charged as a racist, sexist, homophobe, xenophobe, or anti-Semite. Such charges often carry with them the status of hate crime, which is punishable by imprisonment.&lt;/b&gt; Citizens who challenge government policy directly may also face the charge of sedition. To quote the President: Either you are with us, or you are with the Terrorists." 

E os atacados de paixonite pelo Che Guevara têm hino e &lt;a href="http://www.fpmr.org/" title="o Norambuena - líder do seqüestro do Washington Olivetto - pertence à FPMR" target="_blank"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;, como nos diz o &lt;a href="http://www.baguete.com.br/cristal/cristal.asp"&gt;Janer Cristaldo&lt;/a&gt;. Trechos (alfinetadas irônicas para todos os lados):

"Entre condenações ao imperialismo ianque e louvações incondicionais à ditadura cubana, não poderiam faltar as penas de &lt;b&gt;Eduardo Galeano&lt;/b&gt;, escritor uruguaio que enganou gerações com &lt;i&gt;Las Venas Abiertas de America Latina&lt;/i&gt;; &lt;b&gt;Noam Chomsky&lt;/b&gt;, aquele senhor que julga ser o PT um partido de trabalhadores e considera que os verdadeiros terroristas são os Estados Unidos e a Europa; &lt;b&gt;Antonio Negri&lt;/b&gt;, terrorista das Brigadas Vermelhas italianas e articulista contratado da Folha de São Paulo. Nada mais lógico que os executores da violência chamem, para apoiá-los, os teóricos da violência. Estes senhores assumem, prazerosamente, a tarefa. É de supor-se que os organizadores do Fórum Social Mundial não desconheciam as sutis relações do lingüista americano com o site do terror. 

"Chomsky arrola como terrorismo as guerras passadas dos Estados Unidos e Europa. Como alguns países europeus tiveram um dia colônias na África, a Europa como um todo é uma federação terrorista. (Pessoalmente, sempre desconfiei que a prosperidade dos países nórdicos era devida às suas antigas colônias na África). Nenhuma menção, é claro, à tirania mais recente, a soviética, exercida sobre os países integrados manu militari à ex-URSS. Ora, se formos voltar atrás na história, o Pentateuco é um manual de terrorismo movido a ódio cru. &lt;b&gt;Dentro da ótica do lingüista, temos de concluir que todo vencedor de uma guerra é ipso facto genocida&lt;/b&gt;. Para Negri, o capitalismo globalizado está enfermo da violência e da miséria que gera. O socialismo, bem entendido, jamais gerou miséria e goza de boa saúde, vide os esplêndidos índices de bem-estar social da Rússia e Cuba, hoje.

"O seqüestro, como observou o &lt;b&gt;Estado de São Paulo&lt;/b&gt;, seguiu estritamente as regras estabelecidas na apostila &lt;i&gt;O Seqüestro como Arma&lt;/i&gt;, de &lt;b&gt;Carlos Marighella&lt;/b&gt;, criador do &lt;b&gt;grupo terrorista Aliança Libertadora Nacional (ALN)&lt;/b&gt;. O refém deve ser mantido em um imóvel que não desperte suspeitas, isolado em uma cela já existente ou construída especialmente, por exemplo, no centro de um dos cômodos para permitir o controle absoluto. As normas do dia-a-dia devem ser em quantidade tal que o seqüestrado, empenhado em atendê-las e evitar punição, tenha pouco tempo para estudar os seqüestradores ou colher dados que permitam uma futura identificação.

"Tais regras evidentemente devem dar uma pista concreta a &lt;b&gt;nosso muito digno ministro da Justiça, sr. Aloysio Nunes Ferreira, que afinal foi chofer de Marighella e membro da ALN nos anos 60&lt;/b&gt;. As determinações sobre como Washington Olivetto deveria comportar-se no cárcere chegam a coincidir, palavra a palavra, com as determinações feitas a Abílio Diniz. A relação entre um seqüestro e outro é óbvia. E os nobres propósitos de David Spencer e Norambuena serão os mesmos, a redenção dos oprimidos. Você não vai confundir, é claro, o valoroso combatente anti-Pinochet com um mero bandoleiro de morro. César Quiróz, fundador e atual comandante da Frente Patriótica Manuel Rodrigues, livre como um passarinho em Santiago do Chile, já prepara o caminho da libertação do herói, em entrevista publicada ontem no Estadão: &lt;b&gt;' Creio que as motivações de Norambuena são políticas. Em nenhum caso eu acredito que seja uma ação criminosa. Acredito que sua motivação foi para ajudar a erguer o movimento revolucionário no Chile e a Frente Patriótica'.&lt;/b&gt;"

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
And that will show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
Elevator butt.

I need a new toy.
Tail of a black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!

The rule for today.
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.

Grace personified
I leap into the window
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then-
Silence, me, a paper bag
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds
Your foot just squashed one.

You're always typing
Well, let's see you ignore me
Sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box
You cannot see me if I
Can just hide my head.

Terrible battle
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a term paper?

Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around.

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitos
Fear vacuum cleaner

Want to trim my claws?
Don't even think about it!
My yelps wake the dead.

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! My Big One
has been trapped by newspaper.
Cat to the rescue.

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp...

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much."

Litter box not here
You moved it on me again
I'll crap in the sink

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
