Polskie akcenty w prasie amerykanskiej
Artykuł o Siostrze Anastazji Pustelnik z niedzielnego wydania dziennika Star Ledger z 19 lipca 2009:
Magazyn TIME z 24 sierpnia 2009 poleca "Katyń" Andrzeja Wajdy:
A w dwóch ostatnich numerach magazynu Rolling Stone można znaleźc te oto zdjęcia znajomej butelki wódki Sobieski:

Wybory w Ameryce
Odbywają się we wtorek, który nie jest dniem wolnym od pracy, ale pracodawca ma obowiązek umożliwic swoim pracownikom dotarcie do lokalu wyborczego.
Nie obowiązuje tu cisza wyborcza i niezdecydowanych można rekrutowac aż do samej urny wyborczej.
Na swoich kandydatów można głosowac wcześniej - listownie lub w lokalu wyborczym. Ta druga opcja zazwyczaj wiąże się z wielogodzinnym czekaniem w kolejce.
Jest wiele różnic pomiędz wyborami w USA i w Polsce, ale jedna cecha jest wspólna - w tym roku tutaj też o wyniku wyborów zadecydują ludzie młodzi, którzy po raz pierwszy od dawna są podekscytowani wyborami. I wygląda na to, że Pennsylvania, jeden z kluczowych stanów, tzw. swing state, wybrał tak samo jak studenci na kampusie UPenn. No i dobrze. :)))

MAMMA MIA!
Krytyk z magazynu TIME tak podsumował występ Meryl Streep w kinowej wersji musicalu z piosenkami ABBY pt."Mamma Mia!":Martwię się, że gdy pewnego dnia Meryl Streep umrze i trafi do aktorskiego Nieba, przyjmujący ją anioł powie tak: "Na tej szali kładę dekady twoich transcendentalnych występów, a na tej to coś zwane "Mamma Mia!". Odejdź!
Ale choc recenzenci wytykają braki tej produkcji, to i tak wszyscy kończą swe recenzje w pozytywnym tonie zachęcającym do wybrania się do kina. "Mamma Mia!" to optymistyczna i ciepła opowiastka oparta na wybranych piosenkach ABBY, która nie ma większych ambitnych aspiracji poza chęcią wywołania (u)śmiechu w widzach. I jeśli tak ją potraktujecie, to zapewniam, ze będziecie się wyśmienicie bawic. :)))

Niemożliwośc...
Przeczytałam właśnie w Dzienniku poniższy artykuł i siedzę teraz przed komputerem z otwartą buzią... Czy naprawdę można zastawic w banku Kopiec i krakowskie kamienice?... Na jakiej zasadzie je wyceniano?! Na podstawie wieku, urody, znaczenia historycznego, wysokości?... W głowie mi się to nie mieści.

Prezydent zastawił w banku Kopiec Kościuszki
Prezydent zastawił w banku Kopiec Kościuszki
Krakowianie łapią się za głowę. Boją się, że skarb i symbol ich miasta - Kopiec Kościuszki - przestanie być dobrem publicznym i przejdzie w ręce banku. Wszystko przez prezydenta Krakowa, Jacka Majchrowskiego, który zastawił ten nietypowy pomnik, by komunalne przedsiębiorstwo mogło się zadłużyć na 22 miliony złotych - pisze "Fakt".
Półtora miliarda złotych miejskich długów - to kwota przerażająca, ale najwyraźniej nie tak bardzo, by władze Krakowa szczególnie się tym przejmowały. W razie finansowego krachu, wierzyciele mają bowiem co zabierać - pisze "Fakt".Kopiec Kościuszki to gwarancja 22 milionów złotych pożyczonych od banku Miejskiemu Przedsiębiorstwu Wodociągów i Kanalizacji, by mogło rozbudować oczyszczalnię ścieków. Legendarny symbol Krakowa zastawiono więc za miejskie ścieki - bulwersuje się gazeta."Fakt" przypomina, że piękny kopiec to niejedyny zastaw za długi. Miejskie kamienice, bloki, a nawet siedziby magistrackich wydziałów zastawiono na kwotę 75 milionów złotych. W sumie miasto winne jest bankom i innym instytucjom ponad miliard złotych.W przeliczeniu na jednego mieszkańca daje to kwotę prawie dwóch tysięcy złotych, wliczając w to noworodki i starców. Pozostaje mieć nadzieję, że prezydent Majchrowski i jego administracja uporają się z długami i przestaną zastawiać kolejne symbole Krakowa - pisze "Fakt".

Mocne słowa
The Polish colleagues must be reminded of their recent history, which indicates that attempts to place Poland 'on the confrontation line' have always led to tragedies. That way Poland lost nearly one third of its citizens during World War II. I was sure this horrible lesson would not be wasted and Poland would plan its foreign policy relying on friendly relations all along the borderline.
(Dmitri Rogozin in an interview for Iterfax news agency in response to Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski's statement which said that Poland had reached an agreement in principle on plans for a U.S. missile defense system on Polish territory.)
Należy przypomniec polskim kolegom o ich niedawnej historii, która wskazuje na to, iż próby sytuowania Polski na "linii konfrontacji" zawsze prowadziły do tragedii. W ten sposób w czasie II Wojny Światowej Polska straciła blisko jedną trzecią swojej ludności. Byłem przekonany, że ta straszliwa lekcja nie zostanie zmarnowana i że Polska będzie prowadziła swoją politykę zagraniczną utrzymując przyjacielskie stosunki ze wszystkimi krajami sąsiedzkimi.
(Dmitri Rogozin w wywiadzie dla agencji Interfax w odpowiedzi na wystąpienie Ministra Spraw Zagranicznych Radka Sikorskiego odnośnie zgody na usytuowanie w Polsce amerykańskiej tarczy antyrakietowej.)

Zbulwersowana
Wczoraj na dworcu w drodze na peron zauważyłam okładkę najnowszego wydania tygodnika TIME. Dziś ostatni numer z roku 2007 trzymam już w rękach. Tradycyjnie już jest to numer, w którym TIME ujawnia, kto został ogłoszony Człowiekiem Roku.

Marquez i cenzura obyczajowa

W najnowszym numerze magazynu TIME znalazłam tą oto notkę na temat książki Marqueza "Rzecz o mych smutnych kurwach". W Iranie cenzura tutułu poszła o jeszcze krok dalej niż w Polsce i pozycja, którą możemy w naszych księgarniach znaleźc pod tytułem "Rzecz o mych smutnych dziwkach", tam sprzedana została jako "Rzecz o mych smutnych ukochanych". Ciekawy jaki tytuł nadałby tej powieści cenzor z Korei Północnej?... Ja proponuję "Rzecz o mych smutnych pięknych kuzynkach".

PiS po wyborach
Artykul z GW. No po prostu cud-miod. :)))
Działaczka PiS krzyczała: Warszawa to hołota!

- Warszawa to hołota. Prawdziwej Warszawy już nie ma. Zginęła w Katyniu i Charkowie - krzyczała w kierunku dziennikarzy działaczka PiS podczas wieczoru wyborczego w hotelu Hyatt.
- Tutaj jest warszawka, która nie potrafi nas docenić - wykrzykiwała w kierunku dziennikarzy Anna Rudzka, którą rozzłościły bardzo złe wyniki PiS w Warszawie.
W sztabie PiS-u w ogóle panowało przygnębienie.- PiS zaniedbał elity. Poczuły się dotknięte "wykształciuchami". I przez to Warszawa zagłosowała przeciw nam. To był nasz błąd. Szkoda - podsumował Zbigniew Romaszewski, stołeczny senator PiS.
Polityków partii Jarosława Kaczyńskiego najbardziej zasmuciła wysoka frekwencja w Warszawie. - Wieś nas olała, a Warszawa wykończyła - krzyknął 40-letni działacz w szarym garniturze.
Czarę goryczy przelała informacja, że do urn poszło połowa młodych między 18 a 20 rokiem życia. - O Boże! Młodzi poszli głosować. To jesteśmy pogrzebani - dodał jego kolega.

Obowiazkowa wizyta w Washington D.C.
Dobrze jest przegladac prase. :))) Z ostatniego numeru magazynu TIME dowiedzialam sie o wystawie prac J.M.W. Turnera w National Gallery of Art, znajdujacej sie w Washington D.C. Nie bylam jeszcze w stolicy Stanow Zjednoczonych, wiec tym bardziej ciesze sie, ze znalazlam ku temu pretekst.

Czy bycie laureatem Nagrody Nobla oznacza bycie madrym czlowiekiem?...
James Watson po raz kolejny wzbudza kontrowersje, stwierdzajac tym razem, iz murzyni sa mniej inteligentni od ludzi bialych. Ponizej wklejam artykul, ktory wczoraj ukazal sie w brytyjskim dzienniku The Independent.
Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners
Celebrated scientist attacked for race comments: "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"
By Cahal Milmo
Published: 17 October 2007
One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups was a delusion.
James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.
The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when "testing" suggested the contrary. He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.
The newly formed Equality and Human Rights Commission, successor to the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was studying Dr Watson's remarks " in full". Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true".
His views are also reflected in a book published next week, in which he writes: "There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."
The furore echoes the controversy created in the 1990s by The Bell Curve, a book co-authored by the American political scientist Charles Murray, which suggested differences in IQ were genetic and discussed the implications of a racial divide in intelligence. The work was heavily criticised across the world, in particular by leading scientists who described it as a work of " scientific racism".
Dr Watson arrives in Britain today for a speaking tour to publicise his latest book, Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science. Among his first engagements is a speech to an audience at the Science Museum organised by the Dana Centre, which held a discussion last night on the history of scientific racism.
Critics of Dr Watson said there should be a robust response to his views across the spheres of politics and science. Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said: "It is sad to see a scientist of such achievement making such baseless, unscientific and extremely offensive comments. I am sure the scientific community will roundly reject what appear to be Dr Watson's personal prejudices.
"These comments serve as a reminder of the attitudes which can still exists at the highest professional levels."
The American scientist earned a place in the history of great scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century when he worked at the University of Cambridge in the 1950s and 1960s and formed part of the team which discovered the structure of DNA. He shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine with his British colleague Francis Crick and New Zealand-born Maurice Wilkins.
But despite serving for 50 years as a director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, considered a world leader in research into cancer and genetics, Dr Watson has frequently courted controversy with some of his views on politics, sexuality and race. The respected journal Science wrote in 1990: "To many in the scientific community, Watson has long been something of a wild man, and his colleagues tend to hold their collective breath whenever he veers from the script."
In 1997, he told a British newspaper that a woman should have the right to abort her unborn child if tests could determine it would be homosexual. He later insisted he was talking about a "hypothetical" choice which could never be applied. He has also suggested a link between skin colour and sex drive, positing the theory that black people have higher libidos, and argued in favour of genetic screening and engineering on the basis that " stupidity" could one day be cured. He has claimed that beauty could be genetically manufactured, saying: "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would great."
The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory said yesterday that Dr Watson could not be contacted to comment on his remarks.
Steven Rose, a professor of biological sciences at the Open University and a founder member of the Society for Social Responsibility in Science, said: " This is Watson at his most scandalous. He has said similar things about women before but I have never heard him get into this racist terrain. If he knew the literature in the subject he would know he was out of his depth scientifically, quite apart from socially and politically."
Anti-racism campaigners called for Dr Watson's remarks to be looked at in the context of racial hatred laws. A spokesman for the 1990 Trust, a black human rights group, said: "It is astonishing that a man of such distinction should make comments that seem to perpetuate racism in this way. It amounts to fuelling bigotry and we would like it to be looked at for grounds of legal complaint."

"Jesus has a very special love for you. [But] as for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves [in prayer] but does not speak ... I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have [a] free hand."

Otrzymałam dziś najnowszy numer magazynu TIME i niezwykle poruszył mnie w nim artykuł o 50-letnim kryzysie (czy wręcz braku) wiary Bł. Matki Teresy z Kalkuty. Serdecznie polecam Wszystkim jego lekturę.
