Hey wait… he was here? I never noticed…

Meta the MadHatter did, however, by pure chance decide to go see the exhibition on Slovenian impressionists at the National Gallery *just* when Laura and Urška were there. I’m sure it was a coincidence and she has her cup of coffee there every day… Kofetarica’s treat

I figure since Michael has (for the time being) left the blogoscene, you might be the next best candidate to know: Jon Stewart did some stuff on Slovenia (not too flattering, but we’re used to that, aren’t we?): http://www.thedailyshow.com/episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=173245

Not in my video. But right after the press conference the three amigos did the ropes at Brdo and there were little kids waving US, EU and Slovenian flags…. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

The guys (and gal, if I saw correctly) grimmly staring out of what looked like a kicked-in rear window provided an excellent WTF moment.

Also, what kiddies with flags? I didn’t notice any…

Ok, ok, sunshine, sure, I was provoking a little bit. But still, it’s probably not as black and white. It all depends on the ideological horizon we live in. Maybe that teacher was sincerely thinking, that seeing Gorbačov is something good, done for the kids’ joy. And as for me, I don’t ever remebmer me believing in that old guy (I’m refering to Dedek Mraz), so all the joy was just in getting presents from him. If Gorbačov (or anybody else) would be giving them away, I would wait for him as gladly as for DM.

Luka: Nope, it’s not. There was nothing in that procession for the kids. I hated waiting for Gorbačov and loved watching and visiting Dedek Mraz (at my times that was still the case). Not sure about other kids and I can’t speak on their behalf. I was a “normal” 4-year old and preferred Dedek Mraz over Gorbačov anytime.

First case is an exploitation of kids for political purposes, the second one is something done for the kids’ joy and entertainment.

Jup! Just think about thanking him for bringing us a completly unnecessary war in Iraq or for forcing states whether and when to acknowledge some declarations of independence, “unclear” declarations afaik when it comes to international laws. So just ruin his life again and send him back to the other side of the ocean with an “Oops, sorry…”

@sunshine: isn’t being “forced” a bit strong word here, if a kindergarden teacher takes the class out for a procession? What about the kids, that are forced standning in the freezing weather for two hours to watch a Santa Claus parade or the singing tree in front of Maximarket? For my part, I trade you a singing tree for Gorbačov anytime.
