O ne can not deny the special events of the candidacy of Barak Obama. Never before the presidential campaign American has raised much excitement outside U.S. borders.
Miscegenation Democratic candidate, which identifies a large proportion of black people worldwide, is a first. That said, this event raises many questions:

Obama would support it even if he was a Republican?

What is the weight of its ideas and its potential against the symbolic weight of its color?

Could there be an Obama in Europe, particularly in the hex?

Assuming he wins soon, this symbolism can it help transform the world?

Over 80% of French people support Obama. Would they be the same if Obama had in France?

High Cervix Two Days Late

Book of Days vegetarian now: Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi Persepolis

Back Cover:

Any small, Marjane wanted to be a prophet. She said she could heal and sore knees from his grandmother. In 1979, the year of its ten years of the Iranian revolution, it has almost forgotten God. She began to manifest in the garden of his parents, shouting "Down with the King!".
There she imagined rather Che Guevara. After, life has continued, but much less funny. The revolution was a little excited. And the war against Iraq has arrived ...
In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi recounts her childhood background history of his country, Iran. It is a story funny and sad at the same time, sometimes funny, often touching. But always exciting. It is also a small event: this is the first Iranian comic history ...

A friend recently told himself surprised that I did not read this, because it considers that this is now part of the "classics". Error corrected, and I agree with the terminology. I actually first (and last too) saw the film adaptation , beautiful to me been hungry for more, and I'm not disappointed with the trip. Remain to read other books by Marjane Satrapi ...

I had in stock this issue cycle C is not Witch " France Television whose title" Men of all colors " is sufficiently eloquent. Warning: The duration is 26 minutes, but I recommend watching her anyway because:
- This show, not to mention the topic of the day, is a gem of pedagogy.
- In this episode, are removed one by one all the workings of racism with as main concern does not fall into the politically correct causing the inevitable omissions.
- The scientific, sociological and historical are beautifully bound and chained. It is not only intended for a younger audience, because I believe the weakness that everyone can learn something, regardless of its age ...

So, for curious passersby to the blogosphere, for the faithful and the skeptics, I say: "Enjoy!"
