Besteirol: Silliness a la Brasileira

I'm still working on Domingo no Parque. By the way, in the analysis of Panis et Circensis I left out an important piece of metalanguage: its introduction, which you can hear in the intro of Os Mutantes trailler. It's the opening brass sound of the eight o'clock news, Repórter Esso, with Gontijo Teodoro on TV Tupi. Dinner in Brazil is later than here in the USA.

The good news is that my doctor told me my lungs sound fine. The bad news is that I am to remain indoors. And the dizziness was due to dehydration. Tomorrow it's the visit to the GP.

Besteirol: Silliness a la Brasileira

These are questions my Brazilian readers in Universo Anárquico have asked me. I do the best I can to inform them about USA politics and its positions.

Dear Tina,

--Why is George W. Bush considered the most powerful sex symbol in the world? Does he have a position?

--This is an easy one. He fucks the economy, he fucks the people, he fucks the world, he fucks the environment, he fucks the atmosphere, unless you believe it's Gore practicing voodoo. Then he fucks the universe, with his plans to dig minerals in the Moon and I don't know what in Mars. Can anyone fuck any more than him? His position is simple: bend over, I mount.


--Tina, I noticed Laura Bush looks as if she were frigid. Is she? What is her position?

--Ouch, what a low blow. My mother loooooves Laura. She thinks Laura is so classy. Maybe the problem is that Georgie spends the whole day fucking around and gets back to the private quarters of the White House beat. Then they sleep sideways, that is their position, slighyly touching derrières and snoring through the night.

And this is all for today, folks!

Gee, just today I read in a blog that likes to spread confusion that Georgie and Laura are in separate quarters.
