Si apprende così tanto dal dolore proprio,
nel sondare le radici dell'urlo,
setacciando le cocenti delusioni,
seppellendo i propri morti,
giorno per giorno,
cadavere per cadavere, cicatrice per cicatrice,
le vittime delle speranze incolte,
costatando che le illusioni non sono altro che stelle comete di un firmamento fossile,
sogni cadenti, appunto, suicidi.
A frequentare il dolore si diventa come laureati in dolore,
senza mai aver frequentato alcuna facoltà universitaria,
se non la propria esistenza, avara di gioie, generosa di asperità,
di cruda amarezza.
Per alcuni il destino è benevolo,
per altri cinico e beffardo.
Quale destino è più cinico e beccamorto dei palestinesi imprigionati a Gaza?
Ci sono vite più spendibili di altre,
più dedite al sacrificio avendo testato sulla propria pelle tutta la sofferenza del mondo,
e non riuscendo a scrollarsela di dosso,
si impegnano per prevenirla, lenirla a chi sta più a cuore.

Just days after a Rasmussen Reports survey was released showing more than three times as many likely voters “believe most reporters will try to help Obama with their coverage” than help John McCain, a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll taken July 22-23 of 900 registered voters discovered six times as many think “most member of the media” want Obama to win than wish for a McCain victory. On Thursday's Special Report, FNC's Brit Hume relayed: “67 percent of the respondents think most media members want Obama to win. Just 11 percent think most in the media are for McCain.”
A FoxNews.com article added this damning finding: “Only about 1 in 10 (11 percent) volunteers the belief that the media is neutral on the race to ...

The price of oil is way up - but so is the price of natural gas, which is another major source of energy in the U.S. On Please Explain, find out what natural gas is, how the price is set, and why it’s used for everything from heating homes to manufacturing plastics. Also: Tony Award-winning hoofer Savion Glover. We get a preview of "Baghead" – it’s both a comedy about filmmaking and a spoof of the horror flick genre.

Obama's speech today in Berlin, hailed as a "major" address, has at least one major, glaring error that shows that nether Obama nor his handlers and speech writers were thoroughly familiar with the facts. Obama's main theme was about the "walls" that separate all of us one from another. He claims that many of these "walls" have been taken down and hails that as progress. But in at least one instance he is wrong. In fact more walls have been built where Obama claimed they were taken down.
First the relevant section of Obama's misconception (my bold for emphasis):
The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot ...

"Ask AP" is "a weekly Q&A column where Associated Press journalists respond to readers' questions about the news."
Not surprisingly, given the deteriorating quality of their reporting, the journalists questioned sometimes give less than perfect responses.
One such example came last Friday from Adam Schreck, AP's Energy Writer, at the end of a week when oil prices had already plummeted over 10% from their peak.
Reader Joseph Patterson from St. Louis asked Schreck this question:
I understand, to some degree, the raising of gasoline prices when the price of a barrel of oil increases. What I can't understand is why we never see a significant drop in prices at the pump when the price of oil drops. Oh, there may be a penny less here or ...
The screencap captures it nicely: Heather Wilson, smiling. Robert Wexler, mouth agape. On this afternoon's Hardball, the feisty, brilliant [bio: high honors Air Force Academy grad, Rhodes Scholar] GOP representative from New Mexico took on the duo of the combative congressman from Florida and host Chris Matthews, and walked away a winner. The subject was Obama's Berlin speech, and by extension his presidential qualifications.
You'll find excerpts below, but they don't do begin to do justice to Wilson's brio and the coolness under verbal fire she displayed. That's why I'd strongly encourage readers to view the video. Wilson kicked off her tour de force in commenting on a clip of Obama in his Berlin speech proclaiming that various walls, including one between American and Europe, "cannot ...
