Before & After

category international | arts and media | other press author Saturday December 11, 2004 20:41author by by having no hats, save those with letters on - you know how it goes - A,b,c,d, and so on. Report this post to the editors

we live in the time of the lens. the age of the airbrush has now gone.

Burlusconi has been acquited again.

Here are two pictures of him,
one taken in 2003
the other taken in 2004.

Whereas the leader of the World Orange Revolution makes Rashers from Strumpet City look like novice alcholic who's just spent six months campaigning in a nuclear fall out zone,
Mr Burlusconi is only rumoured to have had little eye tucks exactly one year ago, to help them twinkle all the more.
2003 face relaxed looking upwards good ID shot.

Gottwald took the balcony with Clementis
and in a gesture of solidarity one passed their hat to the other, the moment became pivotal for all czech and sloval children the generation after. It was the moment of their new government. The Czech and Slovak republics were still the same country. A young Milan Kundera wrote of this and it was read by many of our generation. We all now, that when one of the two, (Gottwald or Clementis) fell from favour, their image was air-brushed from all the photographs, and thus from history. But as Kundera reminds us in his seminal central european novel of memory and comedy, the hat which had been lent in solidarity *was not airbrushed from history*.

Nella pace de la speranza amici e amice!

if you meant the Cat in the Hat returns by Dr Seuss why didn't you say so clearly?
what was under the last hat?
Meanwhile on the other side of reality Mr Burlusconi has recovered from being spontaneously hit on the head with a camera tripod.
The angry young man has been released it was not in any way a premeditated act.
just a global cybernetic reaction thing.
