“El lamento del cabrón” from Perceval Press
( text of article )
I'm not through translating this (for my own use, I'm not so good to try and translate it for everyone! but if someone DOES translate it, I'd love to see it) but essentially Sr. Gelman says Mr. Bush and his administration lie now, lied then, and have lied all along, about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, and that for Mr. Bush to say that one of his main regrets about his presidency is the lack of good intelligence about that is like a goat crying. (Cabrón translated at wordreference.com- street meaning and formal meaning. crying goat, my ass.)
I got curious about the song El Lamento del Cabrón, so here is some information about that and the band Orthodox:

Smithsonian Folkways recently released Nobel Voices for Disarmament: 1901–2001 (SFW47005), a stirring collection of new and archival spoken-word recordings by the most prominent advocates for peace during a century marred by war and bloodshed. With thirty-nine tracks organized into eight chapters, Nobel Voices offers testimonials from luminaries such as Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Jane Addams, Jody Williams and Linus Pauling.
Introduced and narrated by Academy Award-winning actor, producer and United Nations Messenger of Peace Michael Douglas, Nobel Voices honors the achievements of the last century’s Nobel Peace Prize winners in disarmament and arms control and those who have been inspired by their work. (Streaming tracks available at the moment.)
At times, because there is still a nuclear arsenal, and still countries who think that having MORE nuclear stuff is necessarily in and of itself a good thing, I am disheartened.
Then I listen to something like this, and realise it's an on-going process to keep things on an even keel. And then I can keep going.

well.
no, not in the debates- though i hear that Mr. McCain did not comport himself as well as one would expect.
but in myself. did NOT do well with the midterm for Native American studies class. partly because i'm just exhausted- i swear, if i don't get 8-10 hours straight, deep sleep within the next 24, i'm just gonna be a big bawling ball of baby- and partly because i didn't have the same rigorous kind of review that the film review forced on me in my other class.
so i think what i need to do is type up my notes within 24 hours of that class, and cross-ref them with the book Right Then. this poor class gets the short end of my energy and attention, and it's not fair to the class, to the teacher, or to me.
i now return you to your regular lives. i'll be here at work, trying to read coursework.
