Dan bis-serjeta&#039; jew? Mhux ahjar Dr. Joseph Muscat jispjegalna ghalfejn kien daqshekk kontra l-Ewropa?

U jispjega minn fejn kien se jgib dawn il-flus kollha li gew kieku bqajna barra mill-Ewropa jekk irid ikun kredibbli. Vera jipprova jidher helu minn fuq dar in-Nazzjonalisti!

					<description><![CDATA[They&#039;d better have a look at what happened to Obama today. Elected with a lot of hope and nice words, two years down the line getting a thrashing at the polls.

Results declared up to now:

House of Representatives: Republicans 239, Democrats 183 (the biggest advance for any party since 1938);
contested Senate seats: Republicans 23, Democrats 13.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hats off to Godfrey Grima&#039;s advertising team. They really did a good job on this one.

I, however, can see through the marketing bullshit like superman could see through kryptonite or brick walls, whichever it was.

The video, with its Disney-like &quot;glowing tip&quot; animation, is meant to project that &quot;Christmassy feel-good atmosphere&quot;.

The music, carefullu chosen to avoid hamallu tunes like Infinity 2008 and Rise Up,  creates that warm fuzzy feeling, harking back to the early 90s when you&#039;d taken Ritienne to that Bon Jovi concert.

The sequence of buzzwords ties everything together, making you think they&#039;ve got a policy document three inches thick.

The Nationalist Party, in contrast, is still stuck in epic &quot;300&quot; soundtrack mode, which makes it look rather silly. If I were its marketing firm, I&#039;d ditch tunes altogether, and replace them with &quot;the sounds of reality&quot; in a sort of Philip Glass arrangement (need to brainstorm here!).

That way they&#039;ll distinguish themselves from the opposition, and PR is all about distinguishing yourself.]]></description>

The key to unlock Joey’s deviousness lies in evaluating his statements in a four-dimensional reality, that is, apart from evaluating what he says in the instance he says it, you need to factor in what he adds on to the same subject later.

First he says he will reduce W&#038;E charges. Then we find out that it will be by just 5%.

First he says he will reduce taxes. Then he says that he will tax the polluter - but we all pollute in one way or another, even by breathing or using the lavatory.

First he says he is a convinced European and wants to be the best European. Then he says he will not respect EU rules.

First he says that he will control the deficit. Then he says that he will not respect the Maastricth criteria.

The list goes on.]]></description>
