I think is a good strategy to start a new year on a frivolous, cheerful note. There’ll be plenty of time and opportunity later on for the bile and the rage and the apocalyptic rants. So here goes this little harmless vignette which I dedicate to my mate Zoraida (aka arsaytoma on Flickr), who loves Flamenco and whose drawings cheer me up no end, whenever we can get them. And to each and every Flamenco singer that’s ever filled my heart with delight. Viva la grasia! The text translates as: -Little birds, finches, what have you eaten? -Soup from the pot and water from the stream. And here’s a wee link to the Bulerías in question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_foBP_AX9E&app=desktop

(Another memorial, this one a little belated, but better late than never. I offer it to the lovely folks at Tom Dispatch for reminding my fuzzy mind of the exact dates. Cheers mates!) To the faceless masters of the universe and their meat puppets and the puppets' minions and their minions' minions. And to the heirs of Edward Bernays and their indentured mouthpieces and their slave trained monkeys in the media and in the classrooms. And to the chattering classes in all the gastro pubs and trendy bookshops and chic vernissages of this wretched world who, like my erstwhile neighbour, think that we should do the same to Iran because its government "oppresses its people". May you all rot in some hell of your own making and burn in savage bonfires fed by gigatones of compacted back issues of the Guardian, the New York Times and the Daily Mail.
