E. Forcella: 1500 Lettori e un giornalista

"Un giornalista politico, nel nostro paese(Italia), puo’ contare su circa millecinquecento lettori: i ministri e i suoi sottosegretari (tutti), i parliamentari (parte), i dirigenti di partito, sindacalisti, altri prelati e qualche industriale che vuole mostrarsi informato. Il resto non conta, anche se il giornale vende 300 copie. Prima di tutto non e’ accertato che i lettori comuni leggano le prima pagine dei giornali, e in ogni caso la loro influenza e’ minima. Tutto il sistema e’ organizzato sul rapporto tra il giornalista politico e quel gruppo di lettori privilegiati."

Such a pity

Apart form reducing conversation to a series of click, and inducing people to be lazy surfers and to communicate with a shorter version of their shrinking communicative abilities, Facebook killed the habit of many of writing blogs...I just relaized that the few ones I still have hyperlinked on my blog do not exist anymmore since at least one year...

If you are not looking for a flat or a room in city other than yours, and if you do not want to play the mafia game or sell a toaster, well start typing sentences again, you know...those periods with subjects, verbs, descriptions and the subtle wish that the reader has some few minutes of patience to get through your thoughts for the good of feeling closer to somebody else...

Pissed in the metro in the morning

Reading the monday version of the International Herald Tribune this morning, I bumped into an article written where it was easily explained how it is completely impossible not to send troops to Afghanistan if you want to be a good ally of the US.
Not just to save the Afghani people but to keep ourselves safe and secure...
I cannt stand this rethoric anymore....someday somebody will need to explain us why all these military did not emprove the situation in the last 9 years....which are almost 120 months....
Have done with being so rhetoric, US media, and think that some people may see the Afghan war in a different way.

Diglielo tu che torneró

Nilla Pizzi
Video Clip ante litteram

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerá.

Dio del ciel se fossi una colomba
vorrei volar laggiù dov'è il mio amor,
che inginocchiata a San Giusto
prega con l'animo mesto:
Fá che il mio amore torni, ma torni presto.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerò.
Dille che non sarà più sola
e che mai più la lascerò.

Fummo felici uniti e ci han divisi,
ci sorrideva il sole, il cielo e il mar.
Noi lasciavamo il cantiere
lieti del nostro lavoro
e il campanon din don ci faceva il coro.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerò.
Dille che non sarà più sola
e che mai più la lascerò.

Tutte le sere m'addormento triste
e nei miei sogni piango e invoco te.
Pure el mi vecio te sogna
pensa alle pene sofferte
piange e nasconde il viso tra le coperte.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola.
Dio del ciel diglielo tu
