Parabéns, David Palmer!!

Aeeeeeee!

Vaza, Bush!!

Protege o cara, Jack Bauer! Ele vai precisar pelos próximos anos, pois o que não falta no mundo é racista psycho!

Eu sei que não é garantia de nada. Lembro bem da minha inocente felicidade com a aclamada eleição de Luiz Inácio, em 2002, e... enfim, deu no que deu. E democratas também não são anjinhos. Mas enfim, acho que uma cara novo, disposto e (aparentemente) bem intencionado como Obama pode trazer, sim, alguma mudança significativa.

E unindo o útil ao agradável, ou seja, a contagem regressiva para o show do R.E.M. em São Paulo, vamos ver a homenagem que Michael Stipe & cia. fez a Barack em show no Chile - essa até Salvador Allende deve ter curtido, lá do céu dos mortos políticos.



When I was young and full of grace
And spirited - a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there's the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day?

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor
Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting
