Chirac warns of 'African flood'

Chirac is blind and pitiable. And the French too if they dont take exception to this speech of his. What does he mean we need to help develop Africa 'or these people will flood the world'. You mean sterilize them and agree black is a sad color. Was he scared whn he saw the French football team were nearly all black. O and zidane is african too; or is white african ok? even if theyre muslim and poor. And bbc nicely falls into the trap, putting up pictures of black africans.

ma and i patched up with hysterical hyena laughter.
the spca came calling.
my lung stopped grating.

coffecupreader be damned

ive been around materialistic egyptians lebanese iranians and bedouins long enough to know what i wont put up with from them. And the one thing on top of that list is 'rudeness'. Especially when you've been polite to their pathetic white. And you're the one who's eventually going to pay for their hollow service. Uncover your netted head, ghani and rub some mud in. I'm glad the appointment never took place. the phone call was enough.

How bad can it get?

Zidane

His monumentally-checked rage is the same lidded turbulence felt by every immigrant* constantly required to chant and gesture subservience-association to a national/regional/caste identity at every evaluated city exchange. Casual questions at every casual encounter working to disorient and marginalize without dignity. This is the undressing: Where are you from/religion? And what language do you speak? But where were you born? You werent born in this country? STOP. So you lie to feel better. Who thinks the spraying prattle was shrapnel? If this is what you're up against when all you wanted was free air and acceptance, you seek out others like you and in cities we witness instinctive community groupings - like any nagar you pick around the city - like the quartier difficile council estate immigrant quarters in Marseilles. This is where Zidane was born and grew rough; he's never forgotten that - and one thing it gives you is a rage that never dies; a discontent that is very very different from the indignation of the anointed (new england) balking brahmin. It makes a different kind of man, and a precious one like Zidane when you've channelled the rage, if chanelling is at all how it works. Exceptional discipline - definitely.

In significant French secular tradition, Zidane is a professed 'non-practising Muslim' and his play defined by something supremely harmonic and magically predestined. Keeping aside rationalism, when one of his only two other notable outrages on field involved stamping on the deservedly fallen captain of the saudi arabian team, you see his nobility: this was an act of pure graven justice coming down on the perverse soulless presence of saudi arabia. For a little fact on this incident: "this action was widely applauded in the Berber community as Zidane’s revenge on hated Arab 'extremists’". You see Berber Muslim is not Arab Muslim. And so, Muslim, is not an umbrella identity. Culture is the rug; (of Madrid) he says, 'It is a Mediterranean city, and that is really my culture.’
For someone who is an entrenched French icon, its tiring to know he's still called upon to repeat his fidelity. This great article tells you all he has to duck and sidestep and speak just to be.

O - and all 3 Zidane's sons wear italian names. Perfect.
More French than Gaul.

No shame in going out on your own terms

Some say it was a nipple tweak and a definite racist jibe from Materazzi, but most everyone's saying it was a disgraceful way for Zidane to end his fantastic footballing career. I think it's a fine end - to throw everything at stake to do things on your own terms; like not taking shit for anything, not even the cup. Happy Italy won, but I'm strongly impressed with Zidane. Fuck Mazaretti. A dick kick from me.

Brilliant

I heard a few studio exclusive extracts she (Sarah Niles) did for bbc radio. Brilliant not because she plays all 48 characters, but because its exceptional that you could barely tell it was this way in exchange. precise keen and virtuoso. The play Bogus Woman tracks the story of a young female african refugee to Britain; the detention center turns out to be worse nightmare.

The Yacoubian Building

The sweetest craziest thing in a long time happened yesterday. So i'm pacing real hard on the dark stretch of museum road to make it for an appointment at tavern. And just decided to make eye contact and do a head nip with a perky tan dawg. that was all it took. the little fool began colliding its soft bones on the back of my racing legs and head butting and pawing and awing. but it didnt make any noise or anything, just all these theatrics that broke my heart as i shuttled ahead and looked sometimes. what i was really doing as i raced with a straight face, was sitting on the side of the pavement and warming as i played with this earnest fool for plain love, free hope, and funky companionship.
dog - do you even remember this solicit somwhere in your mind?
One day, i'll be coming to get you.
