Humilhação e vingança
L'accord
auquel sont parvenus la Grèce et ses créanciers le 11 aout dernier est
un "mauvais accord", qui "humilie son gouvernement" selon l'économiste
Jacques Sapir, qui ne voit là qu'une vengeance politique.

a contrabaixista e cantora norte-americana,
de origem haitiana, Leyla McCalla.
«Both of McCalla's parents were born in Haiti.[5] Her father Jocelyn McCalla[7] was the Executive Director of the New York-based National Coalition for Haitian Rights[8] from 1988 to 2006[9] and is credited as translator on Vari-Colored Songs.[10] Her mother Régine Dupuy arrived in the United States at age 5, is the daughter of Ben Dupuy who ran Haiti Progrès, a New York based Haitian socialist newspaper.[8] McCalla's mother went on to found Dwa Fanm, an anti-domestic violence human rights organization.[8]
McCalla was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey.[11] She lived in Accra, Ghana for two years as a teen. After a year at Smith College, she transferred to New York University to study cello performance and chamber music. She then moved to New Orleans where she played music on the streets.[11]
First album
Her critically acclaimed album Vari-Colored Songs is a tribute to Langston Hughes which includes adaptations of his poems, Haitian folk songs sung in Haitian Creole[3] and original compositions.[5] McCalla says the first song she wrote for the album was Heart of Gold because it provided "a window into Hughes' thinking".[12] McCalla chose to dedicate this work to Hughes because she says "reading his work made me want to be an artist."[5] McCalla started working on the album 5 years prior to its release.[5] Commentators have noted the influence of Louisiana musical traditions such as old Cajun fiddle melodies and trad-jazz banjo on the album.[4] Members of the Carolina Chocolate Drops appear on the album.[4] The album was financed at least in part through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter which exceeded its goal of $5,000 to raise $20,000.»(Wikipedia)

Should we have the “wealthy” countries bail all of them out?
Well, the truth is that the “wealthy” countries are some of the biggest debt offenders of all. Just consider the United States. Our national debt has more than doubled since 2007, and at this point it has gotten so large that it is mathematically impossible to pay it off.
Europe is in similar shape. Members of the eurozone are trying to cobble together a “bailout package” for Greece, but the truth is that most of them will soon need bailouts too…
Once all of these dominoes start falling, the consequences for our massively overleveraged global financial system will be absolutely catastrophic…

All of those countries will come knocking asking for help at some point. The fact is that their Debt to GDP levels have soared since the EU nearly collapsed in 2012.In addition to Spain, Italy and France, let us not forget Belgium (106 percent debt to GDP), Ireland (109 debt to GDP) and Portugal (130 debt to GDP).
Spain’s Debt to GDP has risen from 69% to 98%. Italy’s Debt to GDP has risen from 116% to 132%. France’s has risen from 85% to 95%.
Once all of these dominoes start falling, the consequences for our massively overleveraged global financial system will be absolutely catastrophic…

Do que ninguém fala
O que mais importa dizer
sobre os outdors do PS e
da coligação PSD-CDS
sobre os outdors do PS e
da coligação PSD-CDS
Ainda que agora também tenhamos essa coisa muito importante que é modelos australianos, húngaros ou franceses a gostar da coligação PSD-CDS, eu só quero assinalar que, acima destes desastres que acontecem quando o chamado marketing político substitui a honesta propaganda política (eu sei que o termo está em desuso e desgastado mas sou demasiado velho para mudar), o meu ponto não é o «amadorismo» ou «a falta de dinheiro» (hoje enunciada no Público pelo Prof. José Adelino Maltez.
É que quase todos se esquecem que, por detrás destas histórias, o que está é um vertiginoso despesismo eleitoral que explica que PS e PSD-CDS já tenham editado cada um talvez muito mais do que uma dezena de outdors diferentes.
Por termo de comparação, e no pressuposto de que as coisas não devem mudado muito, informo que, no meu tempo, em sucessivas eleições, a CDU durante a pré-campanha e a campanha eleitoral apenas afixava 3 - outdors - 3 e apenas dispunha de cerca de 100 estruturas de afixação em todo o país, enquanto PS e PSD já editavam variadíssimos outdors em cerca de mil estruturas.
