Francamente não entendo a admiração, ainda menos a indignação, devido ao negócio javardo entre PSD e Nobre. Indo ao único fundo não falso da questão: não estão bem um para o outro?
Nem toda a luta contra a precariedade laboral é recomendável ou sequer decente. Por exemplo, o Congresso de Sócrates foi um exemplo de histeria aclamatória de uma plateia dominada por empregados partidários a necessitar esconjurar o medo da eminente transferência de empregos de boys do PS para boys do PSD. E o medo, agir por medo, é uma coisa tramada. Porque do mesmo modo que se agora, com o desespero esperançado dos ameaçados, tantos, quase todos, beijaram Sócrates em Matosinhos, amanhã, com a derrota oficialmente confirmada por mor da rotatividade dos vampiros, esses mesmos, mais coisa menos coisa, estarão a pedir o escalpe do “querido José”. Cuidado, pois, com a luta destes precários. Sobretudo quando estão mais à rasca. Até porque cheira mal, cheira a Ceauscescu.

O velho Marx está com certeza a dar gargalhadas no túmulo. Enquanto Assis, o grande socialista, fala em arcaísmos, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, o grande capitalista, vem dar razão ao autor de O Capital (querem coisa mais arcaica?), reconhecendo que se acentuou o fosso entre ricos e pobres. E se isto não são tempos interesantes, não sei o que são tempos interessantes.
Coalition airstrikes have hit several rebel vehicles in Libya and the opposition is looking into reports that some rebel fighters were killed, a spokesman for the Libyan opposition said Saturday.
NATO is also investigating a report that a coalition airstrike in the eastern oil town of al-Brega hit opposition rebels, a NATO spokeswoman said Saturday.
"NATO takes any reports of civilian casualties very seriously, but exact details are hard to verify as we have no reliable sources on the ground," NATO's Oana Lungescu said. "Clearly, if someone fires at one of our aircraft, of course they have the right to defend themselves."
