Politics and the Bon Mot of the Week (which Happens to be Political Just As Well)

[novin_ha]

It becomes tiresome to hear PO referred to as "the liberal party". Apparently, we feel the need to attach some more labels to our pretty shiny parties.

How can you call a party that starsmy beloved Rokita "liberal"? If we stretch the muscles of our imagination we just might call it "conservative-liberal", as senseless as it is. But "liberal"?

I find myself liking Ms Gilowska (Ms "I used to be in PO but they accused me of nepotism so I quit and now PiS asked me to become the Vice-Prime Minister that keeps all the State's money so hell yes!"). Despite the fact that "changing the political orientation is stranger than changing the sexual one". She sounds somewhat reasonable and she has a great point about wasted money. The small problem is, we'll never stop the wasting of money until the government gives their control up to the lower-standing organisations and local powers. NGOs, anyone?

Bon Mot of the Week:

Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz: "We know that zloty is strong. But today, we decide to be stronger."

And just a second ago, Marek Jurek: I warn you that I do have a sense of humour..."

ETA: Oh. My. God.

Apparently matters are getting hot and PiS starts to say it's either a coallition or new election. A new election may very well mean PiS taking everything.

Scary.

And I finished my Martin. Oh, I did. Oh, the dragons, the dragons and Brienne! And Sansa :)

I still don't understand why 'liberal' is a bad word. What's wrong with progressive, exactly?

It confuses little old Liberal me.
