Disney~Land

Pied-Piper-of-Hamelin

Fairies spin the yarn and pipers lead the children

Having inherited the monarchy from Christian Carl Frederik Albert Alexander Vilhelm of Glücksborg – the ‘ruling élite’ of Disney~Land has no intention of surrendering any of their power to the people.

A likely member in the next government equated his opposition to the new constitutional draft with the war on communism. Even in the land of ‘hope and change’ they have long since replaced that -ism with another.

However, the aversion towards Europe (and anything foreign) is because of their continued interference in internal affairs.  – Politically connected wealth is obviously a problem we don’t have.

The Data Journalism Handbook is a rich source of ideas and tools for the transformation of raw-data into something useful if not beautiful. ~ Social Networks as in “Rich birds of a feather flock together” (Verdens Gang) are however somewhat scarce.

Crooks and fools

clowns

The left: They fear convictions (they might be wrong) so let’s have something for everyone, want peace in our time (let’s negotiate), run out of time (it’s their fault), and are fair if not holy in selecting their means (I’m above it).

The right: They have convictions for which they fight all the time at every corner by any means.

Wonder why the right rules, even when they are not in government?

Opinion leadership

The clowns, freaks, acrobats, jugglers, strongman, magicians, spinners, and liars are coming to save us, from their latest rescue (which got us into the record books), thank you very much!

Measuring “scientifically” what views we have – if any – is now vitally important. What we think between elections, even in a national referendum is of no concern.
