Neonovo's World: March 2005

http://neonovosworld.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 25, 2005. Jaime Castro cosigned petition against re-election. While in Bogotá last montlh, I saw there was much ado about the twelve petitions opposing the Constitutional amendment to suit Uribe's wish for a king's crown, and return to the glorious days of yesteryear, when divine providence betwoed absolute power to the eternal monarchy.

Neonovo's World: June 2005

Sunday, June 18, 2006. Goodbye to the Yellow Man. Time for a change. We didn't know it for sure just yet, but this year's "Bring Your Child to Work" gathering of April 27 was the last one. We suspected it. Later that day I had lunch with my buddy Claudio discussing the eventual closure. The writing had been on the wall, for a long, long time. About a week later, on Tuesday May 9, the doors closed. The April 2000 book The Lexus and the Olive Tree. By Thomas L Friedman quotes a Far Eastern Economic Review.

On this, the third anniversary of the launch of Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq by way of whoring the tragedy of Sept. 11 for his cronies' appalling gain, here is what you might not know. Posted by Neonovo at 4:14 PM. José Asunción Silva's MIDNIGHT DREAMS. I read MIDNIGHT DREAMS, and the force impelled me to translate it. Its original can be found in many places, like here.

A leader for your soul? History for you salvation? Who'll remember this particular conclave next year? Blood letting for the masses! Posted by Neonovo at 1:35 PM. Thursday, April 21, 2005.
