It had to be said. A rare clearcut opnion on the hasardous cut backs at DR.

The immensely sad death of Natasja Saad can be remembered today. She would have turned 33.

The world needs shelter.

Though I am a strong believer of a nearby renaissance of maritime art and in particular paintings, this newsflash caught my eye today at eb.dk.

At earlier occasions I have bitched about A.P Møllers massive profit and earnings on weapontransport on behalf on the US in connection with the forgottoen war in Iraq. A profit and affluence which made it so much easier to hand over the People of Denmark, The Operahouse.

So I await impatiently the disclosures, that Ekstra Bladet will air, come thursday.

Dr. Art Lennard Grahn with The Rocking Pallete at ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES opening on saturday.

A grand opening it was: Nice turn out, nice people, nice artstudents, nice art, nice music, nice legs and smiles, very few mistunderstandings and a lot of rubbernecking.

My thanks go out to Lennard for initiating the thing, forcing me to state my point within a deadline.

ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES is open untill november 11th.

Election is on. Turn of your telies, ban exit poles, close the newspapers, toss your radio through the window, close your eyes and mark with your X the crossroad....no?

DPP leader Pia "ugly bitch in small pond has big impact" Kjærsgård races out one day one and publish the Partys new campaign poster: A cartoonish sketch of Mohammed, with the text: fREEDOM OF SPEECH IS DANISH, cENSORSHIP ISNT.

The bitter and highpitched bitch! Freedom og speech isnt danish, and it isnt really functional within the boundries of Danish Peoples Party either. But once again she strokes the generalzing, nonreflected tone and demonizes islam and muslims per se, and claims at the same time that theres is a definition to danish values, or: that danes and Denmarkk is a homogenic unit. It is as false as it sounds boring.
I only hope that the different organisations, imans, and individuals within the muslim society have the stamina to let her pitch as she wants, ignore her, dig her own grave, let her stubborness and hate be her capital punishment, leave her be...

A tuff election campaign aheda. I bet. But I also bet you that come november 15, the primeminister is still Fogh Rasmussen, tougher than ever.

The Formula One season ended yesterday at Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brasil, with the long awaited world champion title to Kimi Raikonnen. And what a race it was!!!
The rookie Lewis Hamilton had a fairly easy run ahead of him from 3rd pole, though the pressure was immense after missing the titel in Shanghai two weeks ago, where he from 1st position crashed going to the pit, and thereby blew the competition wide open.

Yesterday, Hamilton had a smooth start until turn 3, where he lost his car and went off track and respostioned himself at an 8th place. From a 5th place the championship would be his, and considering that he in his last season in GP2, once won a race by overtaking 20 cars, yesterdays start posted no impossible task.

From pole Felipe Massa pulled off with Kimi close at his tail, while third contender Fernando Alonso, lost his pace and got stigmatised in a no good 3rd position. Meanwhile Hamilton slowly gained pace again and made it to 6th, when his gearbow haywired. That dropped him back 14 positions. From there on the race for the title was open, but with 17 laps to go Massa made a pitstop and iceman Raikonnen did two incredible fast laps, shaved off 4 seconds, and Massa came out behind from the pit, and the championsship was at hand.

Absolutely the best race of many season, that - to me and my favourite driver ended totally just. With 6 races won this year Raikonnen has proven he is a true champ, but whoa it was close. The final result goes:

1. Raikonnen, 110 points.
2. Hamiltion, 109 points.
3. Alonso, 108 points.

And so the crazy season starts.New cutting edge designs, Contracts, firings, new engines, partying and frolicking. F1 2008 kicks off in march again.

Feel free to to join the opening on saturday october 27th at 1700.

Silence on the blog for a few days. Off to Sweden (Smaaland) to contemplate in the deep deep forests on how to join the winning team without pain...

And maybe I have. Think I got a job today. I mean I got it, now I am wondering if I should accept it. I got it the same day as The Left (Venstre - the government party) suggested that socialworkers, teahers and those of the likes within the SSP collaboration (school, social, police) should expand that collaboration to include PET (Police Intelligenge Service, think CIA; KGB; FSB, Stasi). Purpose: to cut evil at its root, or as stated: "to help prevent radicalism among certain youngsters".

The message is clear and not very reflected, it is to prevent radicalism among young muslims.

It constitutes numerous problems.

Firstly it totaly undermines the essential trust that is crucial between sociaclworkers, teachers and troubled youths.

Secondly, the idea itself is prejudice and one-eyed: I doubt it very much that the lawmakers have considered if socialworkers should report radicalism amog ethnic white youth. Meaning, a son of white thrash parents from lets say Greve, who is flirting with nationalsocialism or just a passionate member of Danish Peoples Partys Youth-organisation.

Thirdly: Its a mindfuck in the midst of liberal democracy to experience proposal with such totalitarian stem.

All in all, enough for me to consinder to turn the job down. I cannot participate in this kind of a STASI like apparatus. Torture and snitches, what else have we?

Today,

not one of the major danish newspapers (I still watch less than three minutes TV per week...) has anything relating to The Parliaments accept of the use of torture.

That could mean more things:

1. I watch too little TV

2. Morten, you are missing the point. Get in the game and join the winning team, we are having so much more fun.

3. Instant historic revisionism.

4. Nobody really gives a shit.

5. Theres no free lunch compadre!

Despite the indifference, read this to your kids tonight:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture

It`s not so much that the majority in the Danish Parliament now seemingly supports the use of "selective torture" - I mean, I am not so surprised that they do - it`s more that they, (be)headed by primeminister Fogh Rasmussen tries to sell the impossible graduation of torture, and apparently believes it. It would become them really well, if they instead of trying to shop the impossible, came clean out and said it like it is: We are pro-torture.

And face the consequence: The abolishment of democracy.

Watch the illustration a little closer. Watch the man at the womes feet driving the spike into her vagina, and watch the man at her right taking notes: He is per se not participating in the torture. He is merely taking the notes he can present to whom it may concern. He is merely being danish.
