Ironies of the (Two) Day

1- Obama complains there is no humility in government these days.

I can hardly keep a straight face as I type! The words "humble" and "Obama" don't even belong in the same Universe!

2- The Spaniards are seemingly atoning for the Inquisition by granting citizenship to Sephardi Jews that were forced out of Spain during those "troubled times". One of the many ironies about this news is that they will only allow Jews that are still practicing Judaism to come back in! Apparently Jews that fled, but converted anyway for fear of being persecuted in foreign lands still under the Spanish sphere of influence, need not apply!

Glee--> this is deliciously hilarious. Me, I'm wondering if beckoning Jews to come back into the country at this point in time has anything to do with their current economic predicament.... ....Ah, I'm just being a jaded old Sephardi Jew; they are obviously doing it out of the goodness of their political heart...

one more voice in the wilderness

"Raving Artist" might be a misleading title. Yes I usually rave, and yes, I am more of an artist than not, depending on the definition of the word. But most of the stuff I write here is not about art. In the end, this is just one more blog about nothing in particular by nobody in particular. I write because I like to do it; or more specifically, because "vira e mexe" ("every now and then", but more like "every now") something tweaks me and compels me to do it. I find that this is as good a place as any in which to dump my thoughts; and moreover, I am always pleasantly surprised when someone actually reads it. ...That being said, I do feel guilty about the ridiculously enormous amounts of energy it takes to run the servers that power our contemporary living.... oh well, outasite outamind...
