Green is not the new Red

This just in: the congress of the green party LMP has decided to slam the door on this new anti-Orban alliance called 'Together 2014', which is made up of three practically non-existent organizations and a technocratic millionaire who appears to be charismatic because of our well-known politicians being either assholes or retards or both. As you may already know, these organizations are the liberal outfit of dynamic yuppie go-getters called Million For Press Freedom or just Milla, the more or less official action network and political meme of the more or less affiliated trade unionists called Szolidaritás, and the businessman's own thin-tank which may very well have more than 3 people among its ranks. The name of the guy is Gordon Bajnai, pronounced 'buy-nuy'. He used to be prime minister for one year and he did some austerity which was not cool, but the capitalists seemed to like it.

This decision of LMP was welcomed with a great deal of support by the hard left, and you may be surprised to hear me disapprove it, but that's what I actually do. And I have quite a few good reasons to do so. It's not that I am "gravitating to the right" when the situation develops like some of my late activist friends would suggest, no! I'm not gravitating anywhere! As a matter of fact, I am much more extreme than most of the hippies and ragtag activists who make up the alternative left-wing scene, so this is really not the point here...

The faith factor

Good news: Kyrsten Sinema is the first representative having openly declared herself 'not religious' in the history of the US Congress! Even though one in 535 is more than a hundred times smaller than one in 5, which is the actual proportion of non-believers in the USA, it is sure as hell better than zero. Plus, apart from being smart enough to make this move, she also looks quite good!

Yeah dudes, Atheism is sexy!

I wonder if she's going to stay alone, like Bernie Sanders, representing a huge mass of American people, or will there be more swallows to come?

Oh, and I almost forgot the wonderful trivia: She calls herself... Guess what?

A "Prada Socialist"!!!

Now come on! Ain't that just wonderful?

This is how I'd like to see the new American Woman :)

BMI calculator in Haskell

bodymass :: Float -> Float -> String
bodymass weight_kg height_m
    | bmi < s = show bmi ++ " emo"
    | bmi < m = show bmi ++ " normal"
    | bmi < l = show bmi ++ " fat"
    | otherwise  = show bmi ++ " lard-ass"
    where bmi = weight_kg / height^2
          (s,m,l) = (18.5,25.0,30.0) -- Pattern!

          height = if height_m>100 
                   then height_m/100  
                   else height_m
