State of Mind

[pecunium]

I'm busy right now. I've got to select photos for editing (there are a lot of frames from Galapagos), and choose which ones; and how large to print them, I'll hanging at LosCon, and that's work.

After that I have to get them mounted.

But it doesn't mean I'm completely out of touch with the world.

Rick Perlstein has hit the nail on the head, we are becoming a nation of bed-wetters.

Great article.

Thanks for pointing it out. That let me to Khrushchev's "We will bury you" and speaking from my limited Ukrainian, I would indeed say he was mistranslated.

Does make me wonder what abuses Ahmadinejad's speech has suffered.

He wasn't mistranslated, in the literal sense.

He was misunderstood. He was saying that, by virtue of outlasting, the Soviet System would bury the Capitalist System, just as children bury their parents.

Reading Juan Cole, it seems Ahmadinejad said something similar, idiomatically. If I understand it, he said the regime occupying Jerusalem needs to pass into history.

Fear is a great way of quelling dissent. This admin is aces at that.

From my reading I would say he was mistranslated.

Instead of "We will bury you", we will see you buried would be better and best would be "We will be at your funeral".
