Cleaning out the closet
September 5th, 2008, posted by: Tarik
John McCain gave his acceptance speech last night so you, dear reader, probably think that i`m gonna talk about that? uhm...no! I`m gonna clean out the closet. Sharply noticed friend! That is a saying. It means something like getting rid of your secrets, coming clean, cleaning house... Sayings often vary per country. Here in Holland we have the saying 'oude koeien uit de sloot halen.' No, don`t try to pronounce that. Roughly translated it would be something like dragging old cows from the ditch, or better yet: bringing up old sh*t.
I don't know what it's like in the east, but here in the west it almost seems to happen on a daily basis when you turn on the news, right? Or am I going mad? Prime example once again: the presidential elections in America. A well known magazine depicted presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife as terrorists. he wore a turban, she had an afro, a machinegun on her back. That was something the networks loved to show over and over.

So a festival you say? YES! Three days of music, theatre, literature, film, little sleep and whatnot. I`m still wandering the festivalgrounds as we speak... Mentally that is! My feet and legs wer...

What about John McCain?
August 4th, 2008, posted by: Tarik
Europeans always seem to choose the side of the American Democratic party when the presidential elections in America are coming up. That`s my opinion. Unless you`ve lived under a rock for the past year (my apologies if you really did) you must have noticed that the candidate for the Democratic party is very popular in Europe....let`s NOT mention his name, You know very well who I am talking about. And on top of that: we`ve already mentioned his name several times on our website.
But every medal has two sides. So does this one in the form of the Republican presidential candidate John McCain. McCain comes from a military family, He served as a naval aviator during the Vietnam war and spent several years in what is now known as the infamous 'Hanoi Hilton' as a prisoner of war. McCain is known as a man with conservative values but he isn`t affraid to value his own opinions and standpoints over those of his party. He once stated that people come up to him on a daily basis...
