SORE DI MALIOBORO

SORE DI MALIOBORO

Orang-orang, banyak warna.
Abu-abu, kehujanan.
Mantel-mantel, kecil di bawa.

GRATEFUL DEAD

Message to their Creator from those suffering eternal torment in Hell:  Hey thanks for the free will.

LOOKS LIKE PAUL KRUGMAN KNOWS HIS BIBLE

If I were given to trawling through the Bible to find passages that support my notions of the good and true, I might light on this bit from Genesis:

 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵ And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

³⁶ And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.   

Sounds pretty Keynsian, doesn't it?  Pharaoh didn't say I'll just take enough to keep me and my family in beans and rice.  And you guys keep all the rest and enjoy it, cuz, hey, it's yours.  How would that have worked out?                               

A Polish rock band built around a string quartet plays a Hungarian song from the 70's still familiar around Europe.

The life-affirming spirit of dangdut overcomes the glowering spectre of rap.
