A Passion for Compassion It was so convenient. The picture was finally painted neatly in black and white by most mainstream media in the West. On the one side were the bad Serbs, and then there were “all the others,” who were, on the whole, victims of Serbian aggression. It made sense, there were winners…

[Oprindelig udgivet i Musikmagasinet Gaffa i 1994] Ole Erling har netop udgivet en Easy Listening plade med sund, stue-ren husmormusik. Den er bestemt værd at checke ud, hvis du som Kim Skotte i Det Fri Aktuelt betragter Rockers By Choice som fem frustrerede teenagere med et pinligt primitivt kvindesyn og du i modsætning til Kim…
Kun de færreste ved, at vejen til det forulempede Randers går via Helsingør. Men det er ruten, når man er Østkyst Hustlers og skal på sin første turné nogensinde. Hidtil har de kun optrådt live i Strax, og ved sidste års Grammy-uddeling, så der er meget, der skal afprøves, indøves og lægges på plads. Især…
Med sin digtsamling “Lort” er Hieronimus Knarp trådt endnu et skridt hinsides den moralske afgrund, han nåede i forgængeren “Bæ.” Med et indædt had rettet imod bagere og renovationarbejdere præsenterer Knarp os for et råt, upoleret sprog, utæmmede aggressioner og en indestængt vrede, der på trods af den fejlfri tegnsætning må skræmme enhver læser og…
Jeg møder Vuk over frokost. Den 27-årige fyr graver sit måltid frem fra en container i en sidegade midt i Beograd. Her er han endt som en halv million andre serbere fra det tidligere Jugoslavien, på flugt fra de sidste fem års etniske udrensning i Kroatien og Bosnien-Hercegovina. Det er lidt akhavet — serbiske…
The Obama administration recently announced in triumph that Al Queada had been reduced to two grumpy guys with beards, guns, and some groupies. Two. Seriously, at this point, the Vegetarian Society of East Tennessee now has a significantly stronger leadership than Al Queda (no offense to the healthy eaters down South). But since the insatiable…
Kansas governor Sam Brownback claims to believe in smaller government. And he’s a strong believer in the Constitution of the United States, including the 1st Amendment bit about free speech.So much so that he went to the trouble of inserting language in a hate speech bill to ensure that pastors in churches could continue to…
AIR FORCE ONE, 11/15/11: Expressing unequivocal support for the Occupy Wall Street movement, President Obama today declared: “I want to be very clear in calling upon the local authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protestors. Americans have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to…
Hell yeah. Once the GOP failfest ends (and, alas, someday the fun must end), one candidate will be left standing who must run against Sir Change-a-Lot. The incumbent, in turn, needs to find something with which to fire up the masses — you know, the ones he promised this, that, and the other four years…
