Nu am mai citit de mult un articol peste medie scris de Alina Mungiu-Pippidi (iertata sa-mi fie constatarea; poate ca sunt singur in aceasta opinie :-)), dar in sfarsit am gasit unul cvasi-excelent.

Song of the day: “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane
Intro: without any direct connection a priori (though, thinking again about it, perhaps I was in a psychedelic state to give Marie-George Buffet 5 points…), I recalled the song I propose as today’s song following a short discussion in the comments section of my friend Dan’s post about the French candidates to presidency (you should do that politiquiz as well: as for myself, I got Sarkozy and Bayrou on the top places with 10 points both- never mind whom I got on the third place :-)- and I trust the French will be smart enough to do likewise in their fast approaching elections…).

It is very clear why they chose to do this right now. The Franch ‘Man in Black’ can finally prove that the French ‘Lady in Red’ (more details here or, particularly, here on Dan’s blog and comments section) is a dangerous alien.

Intre multa lume care de obicei freaca menta pe blogurile hotnews (fara suparare, in ultima vreme s-au inmultit), “Doc” e cu un cap peste ceilalti. Excelent comentariu, chiar ma gandeam ca nimanui nu ii mai pasa de termenii corecti, concreti, de adevar… (“fabulospirit” la propriu…), mai ales dupa ce pana si SAR-ul a dat-o in bara (relax insa, nu e prima data…).
