With a great chance of coming out like a bitter aunt... I have to air this:

Over the past years, and in particular related to the current danish goverment, it has become more the rule than the exception, that different members of parliament from the goverment-political parties, expresses radical and populistic viewpoints, only to pull them back the next day, due to central admnistration, following the working mantra: the indiviual must fit the organisation and not the other way around.

Last (and again) Louise Frevert of DANSK FOLKEPARTI have said this: http://politiken.dk/indland/article266502.ece

She has (again) plastred public space in lies, but what are the consequenses? It seems that politicians hooveres above the lawful waters that mortal citizines drown in. I mean, had it be me or anyone I know, telling or placing a rumour like Louise Frevert did about Lisbeth Knudsen, the consequens would be cleared: You are fired.

She wont be...fired.

I see this as a consensus sneaking in among high profiled leadership. Theres is three big cases running these days:

The case over Denmarks Radio over spending in connection with the over ambitious new DR - Ørestaden. Its is clearly a lack of political leadership and leadership in general that have cuase the shit to hit the fan, but who takes the wrap: The little Guys! 300 DR employees are facing unemployment!

The war in Iraq: The constitution was clearly bend! Denamrk had no (lawful) right to enter join the coalition-forces. The consequenses the responsible politicians are facing: none!

The case of Ungdomshuset: The house is gone, the problem remains the same. Nørrebro is left with the ball while major Ritt Bjerregard pulls back and decides to build a SuperDrome at Østerbro (with the ever present Don Ø) because Østerbro, as a part of town, is clearly "understimulated" when it comes to leisure-activity and sports-facilities.

yes i am a mad. and i hate it. i feel ... populistic and I hate that too. Its just pure and plain abuse of power.

But mo `bitching about the blunders of DR. Though I find DR a proud cultural institution, tide is coming and flatning the profile.
Yesterday for 10 minutes I watched the show "Pull the Plug" hosted by Morten Lindbjerg aka Master Fatman. A program basicly cut out to teach celebreties to relax.
Yesterdays guest were: Zindy (washed out singer) Simon Ammitsbøll (politician) and Jeanne Boll (actor, havnt seen her in anything since 1996)
With the current situation in the back of my head it really puzzles me why DR sees it as their job to save the carriers of a washed-up singer that noone will publish, a mediaslot politician who goes with everything (he also participated in the DR production SHOWTIME) and blah blah...
Why they have to fly them in from the "deserted island" after four c r a z y days without contact to the world is just... Fuck it! The cost of producing the show is pissing in the face of the ones facing unemployment. The show has nothing to offer. Except the the contender can win a trip to Brasil, which I guess isnt cheap either for DR. But maybe cheaper than sending DR bosses on mangement-workshops in Silicon Valley, as it also currently the case!
And of Master Fatman: The total sellout! Something that was a little funny in 1991: the ironic usage of "karma" as a trademark, which is now just embarrising and almost humiliating to anyone in fact believing in it, an approach The Fatman also uses this profile in a tv-commercial for SYNOPTIK. He has nothing. He is just...fat

I am a babbling here, I know: I a piss ant piss mad piss poet! Im sorry this aint very subtle...
