Elections via Moose
01/21/2009
With thanks to my favourite moose, this is a quote from my new read, Alles Gute von Ephraim Kishon (an interesting life story there!), originally published in 1992.
Hohe Politik:
In England wählt man die Regierung aus Prinzip, oder besser gesagt aus Gewohnheit, ab. In Italien werden Wahlen zur Konfrontation zwischen dem lieben Gott und der Armut, und in den USA sind sie eine Art öffentlicher Wettbewerb um die grössere Ähnlichkeit mit John F. Kennedy.
I’m having a very German-influenced day, having also watched the beautiful Das Leben der Anderen movie again.
Thanks for this wonderful and totally unexpected surprise, my friend! 🙂

Well, I was hoping you’d appreciate some Kishon – most households should:-)
Thank you for the book on politics!

Thanks again! And as far as the book on politics goes, you earned it in the exclusive DrFilomena Election Prize Game, right? 😀
We need to meet up again sometime soon… really looking forward to that!

tudi jaz bi si morala ta film še enkrat ogledati, sem si ga zelo zapomnila, saj sem naslednji dan rodila brino. 🙂
