- [an extremely long entry, skip to the next one if you wish] At the beginning of the past three years, I'd set out goals for the upcoming year.

If you've written/published previous year's resolutions, I encourage you to do the same (and make a comment to let me know, I'm always curious about these things! |

- Que los homosexuales son perseguidos en muchos sitios es un hecho difícil de discutir. Lo que también es difícil de discutir es que en occidente, las organizaciones de gays y lesbianas han sabido en los últimos años establecerse y reforzarse llegando a crear grupos con un gran poder fáctico, verdaderos lobbies de poder. Todos los partidos españoles, por ejemplo, tienen su asociación gay, incluido el PP. Este fue el que quiso poner una denuncia a Alfonso Guerra por llamar a Mariano Rajoy, mariposón. |

- Zeyad deja en ridículo a los grandes medios Glenn Reynolds nos cuenta, en su bitácora pagada por MSNBC, que The Weekly Standard ha dedicado dos páginas al reportaje fotográfico hecho por Zeyad, el blogger iraquí, de profesión dentista, a quien su compañero Jeff Jarvis regaló una cámara digital de 200 dólares (Jeff, yo también quiero). Con ella, hizo un extenso reportaje de la manifestación de la que nadie, ni en España ni en EE.UU, se ha enterado de no ser por Internet. Y es que era en contra de Saddam, a favor de EE.UU. |

- Solamente un sujeto con la cara de hormigón armado de Kakoffi Annan puede volver a levantar la voz tras la caída de Sadam Husein y preguntar qué papel se le adjudica a la ONU en el futuro inmediato de Irak. Si hubiera justicia en el mundo, la ONU tendría un papel muy importante en el banquillo de los acusados junto a Sadam Hussein y los jerarcas de su régimen. Claro que si hubiera justicia en el mundo no existiría la ONU ni estaríamos hablando de Kakoffi Annan. Entre el Pecado Original y las ideas tontas de Wilson hemos llegado a esta grotesca situación, en la que pide explicaciones quien debería darlas. |

- Las críticas que se escuchan desde hace meses sobre la situación interna del PSOE se han quedado cortas, muy cortas. Ni el más duro analista con los desmanes de la calle Ferraz podría haberse figurado que la confusión interna de los socialistas iba a llegar a los límites que observamos ultimamente. Cada día tenemos nuevas sorpresas y nos encontramos con nuevas iniciativas surgidas desde las filas socialistas, por supuesto, con el beneplácito consciente de Rodríguez Zapatero. |

- “La resistencia iraquí persiste frente a la coalición” titulaba el diario Le Monde horas después de haber sido detenido Sadam Husein. El tono general de los medios franceses, tanto escritos como audiovisuales, ha sido semejante. No podía ser distinto, porque en Francia Sadam tenía y probablemente sigue teniendo muchos amigos, algunos de ellos relevantes y casi todos en la derecha gobernante o en la extrema derecha montaraz. |
