Jkrank, one of the luckiest man on this Earth - who is having beers with John Rhys-Davies (in a cool mug maybe?) in the oldest European country that's crowded with tremendous adorned monasteries, courageous people, a government at the tip of Young Europe's spear and, last but not least, beautiful young women with outstanding...(cough), voices - had his Sofia Sideshow magnificently and masterfully redesigned.Just as if it wasn't enough for a single man, he also brilliantly exposes one of the essential differences between Chirac's France and George W. Bush's America, demonstrating who the invidious idiot is.
What's more, you don't want to miss his compilation of (Bulgarian) reader's letter, reacting to Maureen Dowd's incultivated piece of propaganda.
It's a real delight, moving between imaginative and poetic bits like:
First, it is true that we Bulgarians possess necks that are four and a half times thicker than those of normal human beings.And the straight "Hey Maureen, why don't you just sit on this one?" facts such as:
As fate has it, it is these abnormally large necks that have allowed the Bulgarians to carry the yoke of Byzantines, Ottomans, and Russians without as much as a bending of the knee.
When those empires - elephants of world politics, storks of progress - crumbled to smithereens, we looked back, shrugged, and carried on like a liberated donkey, with a smile and a dancing step because our necks were free to the breeze - and the neck, as even the most reluctant scientist will confirm, is the link between the mind and the heart.
Bulgaria was the only European country that did not allow a single Jew to be deported for extermination. We had 49,500 Jews within our borders before WWII, we had 49,500 Jews alive inside our borders after the war.So true. Let's not forget that France was exactly the opposite: an archenemy of Germany eager to assist Hitler to implement his final solution.
And we were a German ally.
Credit for this goes to the Bulgarian people, the Bulgarian Parliament, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (...), and the father of the current Prime Minister.
This was a time when the Vatican was turning a blind eye to what was happening in the ghettos and many a government were only too happy to assist Hitler in implementing his final solution.
Mugabe comparing himself to Hitler, I guess the affection he's receiving from France takes root somewhere in our History.
