um tiro que não devia ter acontecido

fotograma do vídeo do Kevin Sitesesta é a estória triste de um tiro que nunca deveria ter acontecido, que m%da de mundo este em que vivemos para estas e outras coisas acontecerem…

🙁

The U.S. Marine Corps announced that it won’t prosecute that Marine corporal, who was not identified, for his actions. Sites was on assignment for NBC on Nov. 13, 2004, and was following a squad into a mosque that the day before insurgents were using to fire on U.S. troops. The Marines were part of a U.S.-led offensive to clear Fallujah of its insurgent strongholds. Sites’ video shows five men wounded from the previous day’s fighting lying on the floor of the mosque. One Marine can be heard shouting to others that a man was only “playing dead.” The Marine corporal in question appears to fire a round from his weapon into the Iraqi’s head, and another Marine says, “Dead now.”

o breve pé de dança do george

Encontrei um breve vídeo em que o George Bush dá à anca, verdadeiramente genial!

a descrição que está nos comentários diz “tudo”:

… george starts off with a kind of a square dance – chicken dance kind of a move, and then lets his arms and hands go free, and he does a kind of modified conga-dance / line dance move. He moves a whole lot better than when he danced with Ricky Martin in January of 2001. In fact, he moved so well in Teblisi that methinks he must have tasted a bit of the finest Georgian vodka while enraging his pal Vlad the Imputiner.

um programa de rádio muito especial

vou ver se tenho tempo para ouvir um programa de rádio “She Be She Strike” (CBC Strike), que aconteceu aparentemente casualmente quando durante uma greve no pessoal da uma rádio, três esquimós puderam fazer a sua rádio como quiseram.

o resultado parece ter sido verdadeiramente original…

This half-hour long version of She Be She Strike contains all the great excerpts I posted earlier, from the Rolling Stones cover to the inexplicable Eskimo Marijuana segment. There’s more talking and singing over records, live in-studio music on the jews harp and guitar, a cover of Oh Susannah, an Eskimo skiffle number, Christian sprituals (!), and an incredible audio collage (which starts at the 25:40 mark) mixing Inuit throat singing games with a male Anglo singer whose voice I recognize but whose name eludes me.

a versão de 30 mins tem 28.4 MB mas parece valer a pena. as cassetes com esta emissão começaram a circular nos anos oitenta…, fico sem perceber bem, quando isto terá exactamente acontecido.

podem ver aqui.

blogar sentado no Parlamento…Canadiano.

no blog de um deputado conservador encontramos este post intitulado “Voting”:

“I hope this posts. Am blogging from my blackberry in the House where I have just voted for our non-confidence motion. The Libs are trying hard to play this down. They have two cabinet ministers out, Efford and Cotler. We’ll win, but they’ll claim it’s non confidence.

Pretty unhappy campers over there! They can’t believe that their iron-grip on power and pocketnooks might be loosed. Kilgour just voted with the Libs. Hmmm. 153 to 150. We win!“.

cá em portugal apesar do WiFi na Assembleia da República, de terem distribuído PDA’s, portáteis e até terem disponível um sistema para blogar…, ainda não dei porque ninguém publicasse no seu blog em directo da bancada.

bah!
