Later and later
In fact rather too late for tonight. In and out of university. Flowers dispatched. About to sneeze.
Ah yes, capitalism. I doubt whether it's dead. I suspect it's just lying down for a while till we think of something better than this current crisis to beat it with. It's going to keep a low profile, skulk about on street corners and in boardrooms. I cannot see the masses rising. I don't feel anyone itching to address me as comrade. So, no. But let's wait and see how high unemployment rises.
Even so I think we are going to be electing on the basis of good conscience, good intentions, liberalism with a certain rectitude. I'll see how I feel about that in the morning. If the revolution happens overnight wake me a little earlier.

Salutations Comrade Szirtes!
When does it all kick-off? Maybe Saturday at Klagenfurt? Funeral of you-know-who.
There's the question of the missing 2 hours, 11.35pm - 1.15am.
The BZÖ - "it's private stuff!".
The press - "no, it's not!"
The details so far, as we like to say, are:
180/100 alc. level
50 kmh sign uprooted by 142kmh+ VW
1 provinicial governor dead
Cards are being suffled and stuffed up sleeves. Who has the Queen of Clubs?
We await developements. It may take a sleuth reporter.
No conspiracy theories yet?
Hi George,
I'm just back from the Alps where I finished 959th in a field of 1,364 runners. Well, I am 60 and my Ron Hill string vest is 20.
Conspiracy theories? - take your pick from the usual suspects: Mossad, Jugoslavijan terror cell, Method? - knock-out drops, 'gps' sabotage gadget to .... aach!
Fact remains the guy was dlunk as a Lawd. A bottle of vodka downed in less than an hour. Swayed along to his car...10 mins later CRASH!!! Uprooted a 50Km sign and a hydrant at 150kmh + (180kmh is an educated guess from a 'snout' of mine).
The interesting Q. is what drove him to this drinking spree? Jilted-soul-mate? A guy with a dolphin in his pants?
Now posted on my 'Bard on the Run' link from my 'Poet in Residence' - 'playing the sympathy cards...' gets to the nuts of the matter.
Hope yer enjoying yer Polish sojourn. Don't eat too much sausage. Take plenty of water in the Wodka.
Now posted on the PiR Bard on the Run page the strange story of the copycat attempted murder ...
