Melania Medeleanu a postat pe YouTube un clip în care le arată practic politicienilor cum ar trebui rostit „ș”. Pornind de la felul în care senatorul Șerban Nicolae pronunță Soros, Melania Medeleanu, care predă cursuri de dicție și public speaking, ține o mică ședință de logopedie politică.

Roma activist Valeriu Nicolae departs for Euro-Narnia, a parallel world ruled over by the mighty Baroslan whose inhabitants discuss in strange and wonderful terms remedies for the Roma problem. But what is the role of the Queen in all of this? Continue reading “Valeriu Nicolae – Euro-Narnia and the Queen of Roma”

Rick Warren: The chicken was purpose driven.
Pelagius: Because the chicken was able to.
John Piper: God decreed the event to maximize his glory. OR . . . it was an act of Christian hedonism. The chicken realized that his greatest joy would only be found on the other side.
Irenaeus: The glory of God is the chicken fully alive. Continue reading “Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? (Theological Version)”
Cum zice la Scripturi, ‘prostia este lipita de inima omului’. Dar, cum credea Steinhardt, nu se poate ca cineva sa fie crestin si sa fie prost. Sau se poate, totusi?
Desi am cam fugarit de aici pe cei care ar putea face obiectul acestei povesti veridice, se mai aciuiaza cite unul, din cind in cind, mai ales cind apare vreun scandal. Asa incit, ca la sfirsit de an, ofer aici un prilej de meditatie. Multumesc ‘ieseanuluil’ Ion Creanga.
N.T. Wright presenting a song whose words he wrote with Francis Collins. A song based, of course, on the song ‘Yesterday‘, by the Beatles.

“E greu sa nu caut vinovati pentru masacrul de la Charlie Hebdo. Valul emotional a fost atat de mare, incat doar trei criminali nu-mi ajung. Vreau mai mult. Vreau sa dau vina pe jurnalistii care critica prea mult. Vreau sa dau vina pe musulmani. Vreau sa dau vina pe religii.
12 oameni au fost executati cu sange rece, in toiul zilei, in cea mai frumoasa capitala a Europei. Acolo unde ma duc sa ma indragostesc. Sa ma imbrac bine. Sa ma visez frumos.
E prea grotesc. E prea enorm pentru ca doar trei criminali sa fie de vina. E sigur vorba de ceva mai mult. De o ciocnire mai apocaliptica. De o revolta. De inceputul unui razboi.
Asa am simtit in ultimele 24 de ore. Si in continuare tot asa sunt ispitit sa simt. Ispita periculoasa, greu de respins dupa ce-l vezi pe Abu Musab, un lider ISIS, spunand mandru ca “Leii nostri au comis atacul. Curg doar primele picaturi de sange. Cruciatii trebuie sa se teama, pentru ca o merita”. Continue reading “Vlad Mixich – Cea mai buna zi din an pentru rasistul din mine”
Half extreme shepherding and half computer tricks in this commercial for Samsung LED TV line shot in Wales.
Here is the original joke, about ideologies explained with cows.
I did not know there is such a joke about capitalism.
I only knew one on world ideologies explained with cows, which I have also used in my little book on communism. I will publish it in the next blog post.
I plead for reconciliation. There is enough place in the world for both.
I dedicate this to my World Vision colleagues. They know why. 🙂
Pelagius and Augustine
Pelagius was an amiable chap,
A nice man on the whole.
He thought that we had all the stuff
We needed for our soul.
The sacraments were extra help
That some need more than others;
But most of us can do just fine,
Especially with good mothers.
Augustine had a good mom too,
Though she could scheme and plan.
Might be the reason he took off
To live in another land.
Now they live in America
But still live far away;
‘Gus now lives in Florida;
Monica’s near LA. Continue reading “Charles Twombly – Pelagius and His Nemesis, Augustine: A Tale of Two Temperaments”

I guess, without us, the world would be quite a boring place. Though, maybe, also a bit safer.
A combination of truth and empty nationalistic pride, this short video could, nevertheless, make some people think. It may hurt a bit, but it is for the good of humanity. 🙂

I love this.

Daniela Zeca Buzura, one of the best young writers in Romania, shared today on her Facebook wall this article. I loved it, though I might disagree with the author on a number of point, particularly on the charm of Bucharest, I city I hate – mostly because of the people living there, for many reasons, that I may or I may not explain some other time..
I will list here the 25 things, as a teaser, and let you then enjoy the text at length. Here is some light and charming Sunday reading.

Romanians. Clearly the people are the main reason for liking any country, though the countryside and the crumbling inner city of Bucharest come close behind…
In Romania under Communism television only broadcast for two hours a day meant until the Revolution the Romanians were spared a huge amount of idiocy and had time instead for reading, conversation, drinking wine, and the national sport, seducing one another…
Romania has so far escaped the worldwide cultural revolution – not Mao’s one, but the one that happened in the capitalist world starting in the 1960s and which is showing no signs of abating. One of the great charms of Romania is that the 1960s did not happen in here. The EU will change that, but not quite yet… Continue reading “Paul Wood – 25 Reasons why I Love Living in Romania”

This is an amazingly humorous video uploaded by the bridegroom. Here is what he says about it:
My surprise for my wife Vanessa on our wedding day. All of Vanessa’s close friends and family rehearsed for a month in secret, leading up to the reception. What we lack in polish, we hopefully make up for in joy and love. In any event, everyone in this video has one thing in common: We’d do anything to show Vanessa how much we love her.
A heartfelt thanks to all our friends and family who participated. Special thanks to Alex Lacamoire, who went above and beyond on the music tip, Sara Miller, for her incredible patience and choreography, Andy Blankenbuehler for letting us use his studio, and Films by Francesco, for filming and putting this together so quickly and beautifully. And thanks to Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick, for writing an unbelievably good song. L’Chaim!
