My mom had to force to put all 34 candles!?? Okay 
and do not add much more ... 
Boil the potatoes, peel and cut into thick slices about half a centimeter. At the bottom of a baking dish sprinkled with a little oil put them together for a bit 'and without leave spaces. 
Add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce mixed with a bit of extract, sprinkle again with salt and herbs and sprinkle with half a glass of white wine and extra virgin olive oil. 
I had already heard some interviews with Roberto Saviano, I must say, however, that on Wednesday 15 ottbre Matrix from Mentone, my admiration, respect and affection towards him have grown enormously. He was there from Mentone after that, the mouth of repentance, has been known of aggressive and stubborn will to kill the Camorra of Casale manifested against him.
Roberto Saviano is a guy - man, grew up fast, high intelligence, impressive for the capacity analysis that places in things that way. He is passionate about his work, writing that has literally dedicated his life and that, paradoxically, removes it to him as forced to live under protection. A life overwhelmed and humbled. His eyes are deep and vibrant, however, scored in a veil of sadness for youth that can not be enjoyed in full and sacrifice, in many ways beyond our understanding, to which it is given and he was sentenced. I admire his strength, his energy into the thing and tell the will to live that does not hide. It is time to restore their possibility. Saviano is a hero, but as everyone has the right to live happy.
few times I had the opportunity to understand some social phenomena such as the Matrix the other night. As rightly noted Mentone, with humility, with his tell Saviano has been able to tell us many things and make us think about important and complex phenomena relating to the Italian mob, the most ruthless and at the same time as this.
What struck me in particular. I was struck by the violence and meanness of the libel against him in the territories of which he narrates. I can not forget, and I still feel anger, the things said by some young people in the service sent on the air in front of the school Casale di Principe. The boys insisted on two things. On that he (ie Saviano) is making money on their shoulders and that you do not understand why he says and writes those things because no one raped his girlfriend, or have made an insult or hurt in some way (as d ' Besides repeating the school employees, relative of the local boss). Speaking of the boy has been interviewed about various things. The way he put himself in speech and arrogance make sense the desire to please his fellow citizens with the stupidity that there Camorra but there are many people who work (as if Saviano's book was not directed to the knowledge of the facts and redemption of those areas), to want a graceful, especially someone who is listening anyway. The ingenuity nell'ammiccamento indicates, by implication, a state of submission, because they have no intention of being involved in acts of denunciation, almost a personal guarantee.
Young people who have a marked road, victims of themselves and the world around them, if they consider that the reaction against the Camorra IN Saviano is just because the writer "tells untruths". "What would you do if someone tells a lie about you or your family?" Asks the young journalist to interview, as if to say "that's not how it works?", Reversing the victim with the hangman and justify what is happening as desired and sought after by the same writer. Young people without prospects who can not look away. Young people that you can have compassion for their imbecility, and that led one to understand what their standard of living in those cities in turn rough and squalid, and built by the mafia took just as they are.
The other thing that struck me is the answer to the question of Mentana Saviano on why a writer and his book had caused such resentment, hatred and the desire to kill him. Saviano has responded with a passion and a belief not common, revealing a great truth a little consideration from a world that, despite living communication can no longer tell

I went to see Spike Lee's film "Miracle at St. Anna" for two reasons. The first because we are faced with the great director, one of the most interesting of the American scene. The second with the intention of immersing myself in an important moment in our history (World War II
For the second aspect of concern remain, because the building is not historic, indeed many novels, as evidenced by the author at the beginning of the film, and some disappointment leaves. From this point of view is more valuable than the service provided Minoli in his fine show "We are history", for the exact historical reconstruction and the story of the massacre survivors. The film is based on the novel by James McBride and it wants to keep research "mystical - metaphysical."
As regards the first aspect of the film was pretentious. Lee has implanted a building very complex and full of stuff. As in a puzzle that do not always succeed in matching all the tiles. There is everything and more: the American interracial conflict, the inhumanity of war, the loss of their moral boundaries, the burden of anxiety about the consequences of his actions, chance and fate, the eternal war between good and evil, betrayal, faith and uncertainty toward God
short, a difficult subject complex and that Lee has not handled with ease, causing loss of enamel to its ability to investigate the human mind and the baseness of society, the contradictions of a world of violence that makes his favorite guide, as occurred in other works.
The film opens with one of the main characters watching a film with John Waine old hero in the U.S. that brings freedom and democracy in places where it is brutally suppressed. Spike Lee suggests that it does not want to narrate from the perspective of black and white, good and bad on the one hand all of the other as is the American style. He wants to put more nuances to say that things are more complicated and do not always reach their intended purpose, without denying, however, that the two sides have different value, indeed the one are the opposite of the other.
The narrative fabric has many smudges despite the ploy police deployed at the beginning to give rise to the long flashbacks that gradually brings us back to those terrible events of '
The film, even if it lasts two hours and a half, is moving and at times even overly melodramatic aura, mystical ed'incanto coming from the baby (Angel) and the African-American soldiers that they become care, living in a world of childhood magic and religion, you can follow to the end.
Faced with what is happening, the impossibility that reality can lead to redemption, the film offers other emergency exits that are found in the magical world of the child and the marble head, "head of Venus" that the black American saldatone (the giant chocolate as he calls the child, Angelo, which saves lives) you carry around like a magic talisman religious. Two other films I recall it, is definitely a "Life is Beautiful" Benigni, where the horror of the extermination is the enchantment of the eyes of the young protagonist and the other a light of redemption, perhaps also the director, " The night of San Lorenzo, "the film by the Taviani brothers 82, with which the filmmakers tell the same war through the eyes of the girl, the protagonist of the film, the colors of the old fairy tale and epic. In the film, the Taviani brothers, the night of the war promises a day of hope. In Spike Lee, it seems that the accounts are not yet concluded, if it all starts with a murder waiting for years, as a historical revenge. A veteran, now alone with his sad memories to sell stamps and to keep the head of the Venus of the bridge of his dead friend to save the child, in 1983, with a gun given to him by a German captain who saved his life, shoot the partisan traitor who allowed the massacre. Just that child will save him from conviction for murder. He became a rich man, the biggest seller of security systems, in a world where fear reigns now (or creeping of a war imminent?).

Some episodes of the news I have reported racial to mind a recent trip to Bologna and moved to some reflection.
Early September . I'm in Bologna, I return after a few years. The heat Executioner and back pain bothering me incessantly. Despite all this I start to wander, hoping to revive some memories. In the past, Bologna was one of my favorite cities: memories and intense student political activity. Erro for the city, runs through the center following a case, the flows of people (Bologna, tourists do not know) and arrive in Via Paolo Fabbri 43. I can not remember the Gucci of the eighties and its Bologna. Retrieval from memory verses of his song, "Bologna" to say, from Metropolis (1981), to savor some of the nuances in the verses and carnal rich contradictions of a city that was already booming country then. The province healthy and active:
"Bologna is a rich lady who was a farmer: / well-being, villas, jewels ... and salami in the window, / who knows that the 'smell of misery to swallow is something serious / and want to feel safe with what she's wearing, because he knows fear. /
The smell of waste your well-being but with the strange combination / of the dead before the dreams St. Petronius your / and your Bolognese, if any, there are now or are you lost / confused and linked to thousands of different worlds? / Oh how many words you sing, rocking the cliches of the people, / it's like singing songs that sing about nothing ...
Bologna is a strange lady, vulgar dame, / Bologna child for good, Bologna "Busoni", / Bologna navel all push me to a hiccup and a burp, / m remorse for what 'you element, which is almost remember, and the scent of the past ... "
Bologna that has always boasted of its opening, the civilization reached, with the integration (the southern going up), organization and solidarity. A city to boast about in the slogans "a city like Bologna
The back continues to haunt me and I decide to return to the hotel to lie down and rest a little. On the way to Piazza Nettuno, which is teeming with tourists. I confess a sense of dissatisfaction. Bologna is approved as the other cities that do not know what to feel a strange and disappointing. The memories have taken perhaps the upper hand, and a comparison with this does not hold.
Because of the pain I decided to lie down to relieve back pain, on the benches at the corner of City Hall. The benches are arranged in a circle with two seats. I sit on one side, listening to the conversation that a group of elderly men and women are on the other side of the choir. They talk about the high cost of living, the curse of the euro, inflation. Among them is also an old pensioner of Basilicata (says so and I also recognize the accent, most of the slope field), who lives in Bologna with a child. The tones reveal regret and pessimism, the arguments are confused, or bundled without head nor tail. Suddenly approached by a black boy who asks a few coins with plaintive tone, saying that he is hungry and not eat for days. In response to a rash of no. Then phrases like: "look a bit 'that." The South declared: "we think more of them and those who think the rest of us?". It is the beginning of a spiral that spins wildly on itself. The terms are becoming increasingly violent and racist anti-immigration, which is colored dirt, fear, disease, violence, arrogance. In short tumbler is all the paraphernalia of clichés common problem on immigration.
I get up and I'm leaving. I do not want to argue, as would certainly happened in the past. I repeat, in the opinion that Bologna is a city approved the other, and that the climate of fear, which is blown up, is present and tangible and that this is the current climate. I place myself in gear and I think I do not like most Bologna. Across the road, and I linger on the monuments, with the hope of finding hope.
Early October. news stories:
"in Parma, Parma civil, municipal police had beaten up a young man from Ghana, Emmanuel Bonsu Foster, wrote on his practice and the explanation: "nigger." Were hunting for drug dealers and found Emmanuel, which is not a drug dealer, is a student. Indeed, it is a student who fights them drug dealers. She was beginning to work as a volunteer in a rehabilitation center for toxic. But it was enough that he had black skin to trigger the sadism of the brigade, kicked, punched, spit at the "nigger"
The roots of hatred and racism are taking root in our country. In addition occasions I have pointed out that the self-fulfilling prophecies can. This is what is happening and I do not think the time is favorable to change the situation. Curzio Maltese agree with what he writes about the "Republic" by the way of "The poisonous fruit zero tolerance" . Emilia and I think how much humanity and solidarity have been wasted or are being wasted. Improvisation of our politicians, and how much manipulation there is around these phenomena, which departs from a more serious and concrete problems of our cities.
Early September . They are in Bologna. I'm here to follow the events in Urban Dance Festival, now in its twelfth year and that my friend Massimo Carosi is the artistic director. With Max we put up a section of urban dance festival held in my power in July "Festival of the city of a hundred steps." Meeting another friend, also named Max, and we follow the performances of dance and performance, which occur in places abandoned or in particular places in the city, looking "tourist" has consumed meaningless. Art as life force to give voice to the body, places the architecture. The art to push the look further, creating, in the words of Baudelaire, the great surreal that reveals what can not be found in the banality of everyday gaze darkened. Go further degrading the loneliness and abandonment of our cities, where fear is the host. This tells us the gift of art.
So my slogan "against aesthetic communication" makes sense here, and opens up the hope. The hope of changing the perception of where we live.

Needless to say, Italy is the land of paradox, in which virtual reality has now replaced the true reality. I apologize for the pun on words. The fact is that, reading newspapers and watching television, now Italy is gripped by the most heinous crime and overwhelmed by hordes of barbarian invasions. That there is fear around is obvious. I just wonder how much of this fear is real and what is not appropriate for political maneuvering. Already other occasion I tried to explain how fear is a phenomenon easily manipulated in order to exercise social and political control.
issues of law and order and immigration were some factors that did win big at the last election that the center-right has been able to exploit and nurture the fear of the Italians. Today we shall do what has been a promise and a kind of prophecy autoverificantesi. The fact is that the problems do not disappear, they remain, indeed increase as in the case of immigration, no one makes the accounts of hundreds of men, women and children disappeared in the waters of the Mediterranean, also victims of the racket of smugglers, while the present government has not able to make any decision on the issue regolamentarizzazione resurface and exactly what has been done by the previous government (with many other problems to come).
seems that the garbage has disappeared abruptly from Naples, was in effect for some time that there was no rubbish in Naples center, while the crime scene in the city makes great deployment of military troops. Apart from the fact that this irritates even policemen and policemen who suddenly appear insufficient and inefficient, and certainly do not need to be accompanied by supermen, it is not clear what they should do if the military does not blow smoke in the eyes of the people most enthusiastic uniforms or a cause of concern Democratic or give bad impression about our city.
But the mere appearance you live, how Brunetta, like the saints who have miraculous effects even when its decrees are not in application, and little change in substance (see issues of sick leave). The important thing is to go in the living rooms distributed in various media television networks play in the hyperspace of political communication. Little substance, the same is true of the Gelmini, current Minister of Education and Research, which proclaims teaching nonsense like claiming to "return to first as" the conduct or promotions. Because someone has ever said that behaviors were not assessed or not relevant to the assessment of pupils'. I mean what I say is that we talk about reality apparent in the choice of the political agenda and that no one looks at the problems from the right perspective. Pure communication effect. I am convinced that in a few weeks, the facts of crime will disappear just because the newscasts from Italy do not speak anymore, realizing thus the wishes of someone and giving substance to some other prophecy.
why struck me as recently stated by CENSIS, as appeared on Republic online. Italy is by far the European country where more people die at work, almost double that of France, 30% more than in Germany and Spain. You die more at work or on roads that are not killed by a gunshot or a stab . The victims at work are almost twice as many deaths in road accidents killed and eight times as many murders. The warning is the Censis study center for social investment. "However, most public attention focuses on the phenomena of crime "....
However, "most of the political in recent months has been absorbed by the objective of ensuring public safety, "said Giuseppe Roma, director general of Censis. " stands out in a clear manner - said Rome - the gap between real dangers and concrete actions to face them . The workplace and the street still lack effective safeguards to ensure full security of citizens, and often thought to lose his life in a road accident is inevitable. Data for other European countries show that it is not so. "
This says a lot about how today is perceived and represented reality in our country.

PS Just finished writing this blog I learned of the statements by the Defense Minister La Russa said that to go to the opening of the Games, but only if the Chinese government had done''an act of good will and had invited the Dalai Lama'' and the Minister of Youth (perhaps the Youth Front) that''it would boycott the inauguration of an important signal''to give (but that signal?). Unfortunately, you must agree with Bossi when he says that "if they went that far obviously want to take it off. It seems a bit 'hypocritical not go up there and then pull out. " Well said, and I would add that there is a good dose of chutzpah and great cynicism of two ministers who have some 'difficult to resolve. The first because it has contributed to cutting the funds for the army and the police, the latter still does not understand why we're doing to the government. Both while to appear (and therefore be) ready to shoot shit against sixty-ideological and more.
has been much discussion about beauty and ugliness of our ministers and ministers of little relevance and efficiency.
Frankly, I prefer to reserve my aesthetic judgments on other occasions, such as a show, a concert, an exhibition or participating in any particular event in which art is the protagonist, who, for me, much more valuable than media talk and ugliness.
Saturday, July 26, 2008 will be the 'opening of the installation art Hats of Giancarlo Blacks in Castelmezzano in the heart of the Dolomites Lucane. Itinera is an exhibition of contemporary art within the project "The look and landscape art and nature in the Upper Basento", aimed at enhancing tourism and cultural ' Lucane area of \u200b\u200bthe Dolomites, financed by the Basilicata Region in the public notice "Culture on the spot and carried out in the PIT Basento Alto. The project was carried out on an idea of \u200b\u200bmy Association, Basilicata 1799 (project partners), the Sintesi srl (Potenza), as leader of the Strategic Partnership, International Meetings in collaboration with Art. In September, the appointment will be with the teacher in the old Jannis Campomaggiore.
The purpose of the project culture in place, were both designed to develop skills for the management of historical, natural and landscape, both these places have become points of attraction with cultural and artistic work of high quality. The project is characterized as a chance to score a real and fantastic journey in the municipalities of Pietrapertosa, Castelmezzano Campomaggiore and old. The strength of the scenic area has been the key driver of our design work, which is features:
- In the formation of two groups of 16 young people;
- In the construction of two works of art, creative process in a relational, two 
artists of great national and international level (Gianfranco Blacks, Jannis)
- in the first edition of a summer school devoted entirely to issues of landscape, presumably only in the south.
Itinera is a proposed route in the Dolomites Lucane and neighboring countries, nature and landscapes, art and culture. Watching the landscape means to surrender to the immediate suggestions that spring to our eyes, to discover the work of nature and the presence of man in time, those places that has marked its history, made of struggle and love for him.

Nazi paradise-Angelo Petrella
The idea is strong, impact, and the language and not for nothing that the cover is dominated by the label of Parental advisory:
a nazi hacker caught by corrupt police who must save his ass alone against all.
The place is Naples, but purely from a Naples frame, immortalized as a postcard, static in its pristine and logos for language, a Naples that this could be anywhere.
joist describes a history of extreme violence where the stadium is not relief but premium, aggregation, value-added life.
Two or three are cute, the dog named Thordue or Nazi film club which is looking at that masterpiece of Quadrophenia embellish a book that has to be read meirto all of a sudden
Spoiler
Who does not want to advance the plot does not go ahead: Linear
in the performance of each joist caresses his characters without extremes or stereotype, just a shame that the story knows that the gloves seen and reviewed, (key point in the plot) is not sure what he does off the story.

As a tribute to the memory of a writer and a public man below here for you my interview, perhaps the last few interviews to Italian Druznikov who kindly gave me.
I recall with pleasure our exchange of mail, his manner polite and calm, his advice and availability.
remember that I envied the fact that he knew Czeslaw Milosz, now I can say it, but now I can say that I missed.
I had another interview scheduled, I'm reading his latest novel, and once finished I started to "harass" via email to talk about literature, as we did in the past.
Jurii Farewell, help us write more beautiful pages and to live by men!
Fabio Izzo: In your latest book there is not here is your literary soul is divided in two. You have broken down to fit the way you write the section called "American" and the Russian section. As a result feel more as your soul?
Druzhnikov Yuri: If I recognize both my hips as if in a different way. I spent the first half of my life in the Soviet Union and the second here in America. I had the chance to develop material for my writing by writing all the "my" countries. In my recent book, published by Barbera Editore, I realized that the people I met, both in Russia and the U.S., they were so funny or so strange that each of them, every one of those quirky personality were ideal for a special history but short-lived.
The stories told here are true with humor and particular selezionatoe from life as you can be for Italian coffee lovers, an exquisite blend of coffee.
FI: From the first part of your book (the "here") come out all the fears and foibles of the typical Western population gutted
fresh in your personal style as it is brilliant that can be compared to the gags in the film of Monty Python.
back instead in the literature, do you think the future is closely tied to western pills Murtibing predicted by Witkiewicz?
YD: As indicated by the great Polish skeptical Milosz, Nobel Prize winner for literature and my colleague at the University of California, the prediction of Witkiewicz directly linked to Western society but in my opinion not only that, the pills also concerned the communist society . If we mean the pills for my short stories I think would be an exaggeration compare a novel as important as that of Mitkiewicz. As pills, my satirical stories, give a healthy skepticism and help to better understand the world revolves around us.
FI: In the second part, the Russian (the "there"), is almost impossible not to notice your ability to represent a world sharply divided on concepts and ideas. What will be your second thought, the future of the Eastern Hemisphere?
YD: I do not want to neglect my being a witness to all that was the Soviet Union, a look at Thomas More's Utopia and George Orwell's 1984, there have pictures of what is plausible stato.Parlando the future, I would see Eastern Europe as rich as America, as a free and peaceful Europe such as Iceland, but for now I know the improbability of my prediction. In fact, the East is poor, subject to a means totalitarianism and aggression like the Nazis. The war in Iraq is a mistake because Hussein knew how to manipulate the fanaticism and now the Western world must be strong in the Arab world much more dangerous than the Warsaw Pact. I also think that an improvement for the 'Europe and the U.S. would be to use fewer soldiers, tanks, and intelligence services in that part of mondo.Inoltre will be good to capture Osama bin Laden.
I believe in a slow process Eastern Hemisphere.
If we look at China and India has to wonder if one day these two countries will help us to combat terrorism.
FI: Are you a Russian intellectual who works in the U.S.. This fact how it affects your writing?
YD: Here in America I found my independence, no one controls me in California on what I say or write. This does not save them from being targets of my pen. The percentage of silly being the same here than there. I do not have time to official data on the phenomenon of alcoholism, but almost certainly the situation is problematic both in the U.S. than in Russia, as well as for the homeless and other social problems. I am twenty years I live in the States now and this has given me the chance to see two different realities, my homeland and my adopted country. Russia is a police state, where the KGB has manipulated the country. I think that for stability and democracy in Russia are necessary for another 50 years or even 100 years.
FI: In my book (Eco-disposable) states, among other things the last century can be defined as "Russian century" because of the great events that have shaken the course (just look at the dates 1917 and 1991). Now as the power, who moved to America, literature has also followed the same path. Do you agree?
YD: In line greatest yes but I would like to add something. We do not know exactly how many deaths there were in Russia during the period 1917-1991 (60 million officially listed, but according to my estimate would be 90 million). The power has moved to America but art and literature are still flourishing in Europe. In Italy I have seen the Literature Festival in Mantua. America is the land of pop culture.
FI: On what project you working on now?
YD: I just completed a detective story based on a true story. Here, the documentation and research of the witnesses took me a long time. Italy is now being translated and will soon be published by my publisher
FI: If you feel up to give us some advice: what should we watch out for our future?
YD: First, your health! The longevity and quality of life. So, for example, that Italy is at the forefront in cancer research. This commitment, together with that of others could mean that in future people will be freed from this evil. On second thought, we could hear Pavarotti sing much longer.
FI: What is your advice for a better life in the monster world?
YD: Save our cultures and traditions. Keep the values: family, love and friendship. Represent an 'alternative to the noise of the TV commercial above us and frightens us. The individual needs of a niche where you can love your neighbor, reading, writing, taking photos and collecting stamps.
FI: In 2001 he received a nomination for the Nobel prize but have not won (and I'm sorry). Now, ironically, you have the chance to convince the jury to give her the Nobel.
YD: But what a soldier does not want to become a general! Solzhenitsyn wrote in his diary: "The award was given, and once again not to me," then later he was given. I jokingly tries to convince the jurors of the Nobel reading my pills "There is not here." If I can make them laugh even change idea.

Printed in Italy for editions Isbn amazing collection of strips of David Rees.
"And go with the war" a satirical comic strip used by exploiting the Clip Art depicting ordinary people and average employee, plus some surprise like the robot "Voltron" composed entirely of mechanical lions, and oddly, instead of being "savaged by U.S. critics," it is the praise, according to industry insiders, clip art perfectly matches the theme of the series.
A series that actually has its strengths and nell'arguzia irony, David Rees characteristics that clearly stand out in this interview. Rees wrote this book thinking about the stupidity of war, its lack of direction and great proclamations that often accompany the death of civilization, freedom, democracy or even a single person fell for the great support Western values.
Fabio Izzo: "And go with the war" is the title of your book in Italian, I like the sound?
David Rees: Yes, I like and I must say it sounds better in Italian even though I have absolutely no idea what it means
FI: So David, welcome on board the barge Italy. Browsing on your site you can see one of your interest in Italian politics, do you know about this topic? What is your opinion on our main candidates: Berlusconi and Veltroni Voltron eh-eh (for the pun on the appearance of a character by the name of Voltron in its strips)
DR: I LOVE BERLUSCONI! What a wonderful person, a true intellectual. I love his face, his skin, his new hair, her new eyes ... I hope someday to be in America for the race for the White House! We love the businessmen here. And we respect the leaders with a strong ego. Berlusconi, Putin, Sarkozy and Bush are all made of the same mold: heroes.
FI: The first line of your series begins with a slang (in da house), your work, and the use of the language semantics are very important because the case of political satire are aware of the manipulation of language made by politicians. In your opinion. We got to the point of having engaged in a real war of language?
DR: Yes, considering that language is the weapon more important in war as well as bombs, rifles, airplanes, tanks, grenades and soldiers. I started "and go with the war" following the need to respond to the idea of \u200b\u200b"war on terror" which I think is stupid. The phrases, statements, are so vague and are used to describe our enormous duty. Everything can be justified by referring to our "great" mission ": look at Iraq, look at Russia with Chechnya or China etc ... So why play with the language formally in my strips.
FI: One of the minor characters in your series, wants to become a poet thinking to improve the world, do you think poets can somehow change the world?
DR: Hmm, I'm skeptical about it, maybe it can happen once a generation. But poets can change the perception of the world that the people and then people could change the world.
FI: What about your skepticism, always paying attention to the power of words, instead of changing, we could say that the redemption of the world can pass through a poet?
DR: Yes, perhaps the world / language can be changed, so the war described by a poet is very different from the same war described by a politician, but we never see on our televisions and poets we see a lot of idiots in the various programs
FI: Lex Luthor, Flash Gordon, Voltron, in your work, not really a comic book, we find a lot of quotations from the world of comics, you're an avid reader?
DR: When I was younger, yes, these days many do not read. Spending most of my time reading blogs, and it's a terrible addiction that I have to finish!
FI: Who has most influenced your work?
DR Kool Keith (rapper), Ludwig Wittgenstein, Richard Rorty, Wu-Tang Clan, talkingpointsmemo.com and my friends.
FI:: Not a bit off the pace of the interview 'of Q & A Time: Hillary or Obama?
DR: Obama.
FI: French fries or freedom fries?
DR: Chips of freedom (free from fat, right?)
FI Coke or Pepsi?
DR: Guinness.
FI: Beatles or Rolling Stones?
DR: Burning Witch.
FI: You now have carte blanche to launch a message to our readers.
DR: Hi! Come to America to spend your Euros! The dollar is weak and we need your help dl! Come tomorrow as well, is a nice place here! You can visit the Statue of Liberty, before it is sold to China to pay our debts.
FI: We have to wait long to read alter your work? .
DR: Good question, I'd like to publish in Italian my "My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable."
