The Gay Ambassador, the Richest Man of Macedonia and its TV-star Called Baby
vrijdag 9 juni 2006 13:27 door Goggy
(What did
the richest man of Macedonia answer when a tv-host asked him, live,
to describe the smell of a vagina - and what does all this have to
do with Estonia, "moderately racist", being EU member-state from
which our gay ambassador runs away because it is unbearable to live
there?) If this Hans Glaubitz, His Excellency, the
Ambassador of The Kingdom of the Netherlands, did not have to
pack-up and leave Tallinn, Estonia, you would have hardly ever
heard of Vesna Petrusevska - Baby a sit-com star of the
Macedonian tube. But then, also, I would have never be enticed to
propose you to calculate or reflect over the arguments needed to
estimate the distance, along the road of emancipation, between EU
member-state Estonia and EU candidate-states Macedonia and Turkey.
{A tip-off: Estonia is half-sunk in the swamp of ugliest of
prejudices while Turkey and Macedonia is 19,43 light-years away up
in the galaxies of emancipation). So, back to Glaubitz and Baby.
Advertised on huge billboards around Skopje, Mrs. Petrusevska,
Baby, is surely better known in the capital of her land than
Glaubitz in Tallinn. She does not have a lesbian friend but is a
happily married woman and a caring mother of two adopted kids. But
she is just as controversial in Skopje as this Dutch clerk
diplo-homophilique is in Tallinn. Not long ago she produced a
tsunami asking (live on TV) the richest man of the land and now the
mayor of the capital, whether he would be so kind to describe the
odor, the smell of the vagina. Well, many people, families glued
around to the TV, felt uneasy with the question, but nothing
happened. The press wanted to jump up on that platform but then
sort of cooled off. Vesna - Baby continued jogging along the banks
(excitingly well landscaped) of river Vardar and the richest man
went on being even richer and mightier. [
(Pic on
the left: Probably the two richest men of Macedonia. The guy on the
left writes poetry in which he claims he loves to lick pink vaginas
which did not bother him or the public to be a prime-minister. The
guy on the right trades with hard stuff like iron and other metals
but was faced with "the smell-of-vagina" question by the popular
Baby, top photo) Only Macedonia got stuck, with the positive
"avis" about her candidate-status, out in the cold, far away from
the warm fireplace of the EU enjoyed by these tough Estonians.
According Rainer Kattel, professor of political science from
Tallinn University, "Estonia does have latent racism" and more:"If
you are openly gay and of a different race people will make mean
comments to you". The absurd of this situation, this mockery of
euro-standards, is that Bernard Bot needed to make Beatrix
sign the Royal Decree (for this homo to be her envoy, her minister
plenipotentiary end extraordinary to Estonia) so that we, the whole
world, be reminded how difficult it is to enforce emancipation.
"You can take away by force, but you cannot give by force". I do
not know what more does this Bernard Bot want to happen before he
resigns? He brings this country in awkward position. He does not
have a clue how the very big or quite small will react to his words
and actions. What does he know then, this retired master-diplomat?
He admits that Condoleezza had put him in a freezer. What does it
mean for the country? Now that his hand-picked homo and his black
Cuban partner flee the booing peasants and skinheads of Estonia
WE are faced with a much wider discussion about the EU
cultural differences and the enlargement process. Is that,
actually, what Bot wanted? This blond Hans could not kiss black
Jose in public without being booedor looked down upon. And that is
why he decides to spit on the Estonians as a nation, to leave the
post and alert the media before he goes to Canada. What does Bot
run, a summer camp of queer scouts or a disciplined diplomatic
corps? My modest opinion is that Bot should have sent my clever
self, me, ambassador to Estonia. Why this Hans Glaubitz? Who the
muck he is? Why is he being sent consul-general to Montreal? Does
his Cuban lover prefer snowy winters? The Estonians have just
ratified the European Constitution and stupid enough Jan-Peter says
HE will not have another referendum on the subject. What
does he want to say? That the Estonians are idiots to be the 15th
nation that ratifies the document? He will not have the chance even
if he wanted to: Come next May - WE will throw him out of
office. So What is all this mess about? Nothing else but
Incompetence and Arrogance.



Well, this is
just the beginning of an idea, pretty entangled right now, very
private, almost intimate. It is about my personal feelings arising
from a visual contact with faces of public figures by proxy. I
mean, this is sort of reflections triggered by published pictures
of various people without or definitely before
reading a word about their characters. Say, so far there are these
accounts about Giovanni Accongiagioco Elkann, of the Agnelli
family; Howard Stern, the King of All Media in the USA;
Barack Obama, possibly the next US President; Toshihiko
Fukui, governor of the Bank of Japan; Patricia Joan
Remak, former Dutch MP, now convict; Peter Hartz, VW and
Germany's super crook; Chad Hurley, co-establisher of
YouTube; Nobuyoki Oneida, CFO of Sony Corporation;

every possible argument supporting its impressive drive to full EU

There is this
multi-faceted Turkey Now" festival in earnest preparation
going on all over town these days. If you read Het Parool
you would know this already. There will be, just after St.
Valentine Day, at least 20 events and one of the highlights is a
jazz concert that you can sample here:
Tom, a
handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down
next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10:00 news
was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on ledge of a
large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Tom and
said, -Do you think he'll jump? Tom says, -You know, I bet he'll
jump. The blonde replied, -Well, I bet he won't. Tom placed a $20
bill on the bar and said, -You're on!" Just as the blonde placed
her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the
building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset, but
willingly handed her $20 to Tom, saying, -Fair's Fair. Here's your
money. Tom replied, -I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on
the 5 o'clock news and so I knew he would jump. The blonde replied,
-I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again. Tom took the
money.

After a year
of fun and play we, the bloggers, know that there is a lot
of time, effort and skill poured into the VK. I believe that GJB
and us could chat a bit about a new, commercial, twist to the
individual pages. Since we are a sort of one big family maybe we
should see whether and how we could contribute to the costs of this
facility, gather money for improving it and, doing so, earn a
decent buck individually. The proposal is simple. GJB supplies
those who are interested the price-list for a 300x300 pix slot on
this column, agrees to pay us commission (which he anyways pays to
others) and we contract sponsors who pay directly to VK upon which
VK shells out our part. We as authors do not promote
those sponsors in our posts. There are parties which do not even
know about the VK but may be interested to advertise here for any
reason, especially sponsoring an acquaintance's or friend's hobby
or whatever. To secure that the big-time advertising wizards are
not affected, we, the small fry, would be allowed to bring adds at
least 600 pixels under the ad at the top for which VK gets
money. So, that is it. Simple like Senate Beans Soup.
