It is amazing what makes it to the news. And sometimes I can not help wondering who the hell is interested. I can understand that the US primaries are important in a way, but it has just been going on for ages. And it is not even the real election!! Who can be bothered to take an interest in it?! It has been on the news in Sweden for I don't know how long. Now hopefully it will soon come to an end, but then I suppose the race for the real election soon starts. I am glad I am not American and don't have to pay attention to it. If I was American I would most probably not have been bothered enough to vote. But then on the other hand one might get stuck with a president as Bush...
One other thing that is amazing about the Swedish news are the absolutely unimportant and irrelevant things that make it to the news. It becomes all the more apparant when you have been out of the country for a while. (not that the Italian tv-news are that much better, but still they have more channels and hence more of a choice). The first thing I saw when arriving at the airport was the headlines of the two tabloids. Ok they are tabloids and as such maybe not worse than others, but once they actually wrote about things that happen in the real world. Now they only seem to write about things that happen on TV. After not having had any Swedish news at all for over a week I was a little curious to know what had happende. But the one had a big fat headline about "what happened after" to some participants of a TV-program. The other wrote about a commedian and TV-celebrity who apparently had to "flee" the fans at some party after the Eurovision Song Contest. Such a pseudo world!!
Today on the TV-news there was a report on a communal landlord who wanted to close down some of the laundry rooms in some of their buildings (back again to one of my favourite topics!) against a small decrease in the rent. There was an interview with one of the tenants who was explaining what a disaster this was for her as a mother of two children, now she would have to walk out of her house and in to another building in the same area. That was just impossible. Ok, I can understand that it is a problem for her. But who the hell thougth this had any kind of news value for the rest of the nation!!!

Det händer inte så mycket i ett litet land med ett navelskådande folk som älskar ett övermoget tonårspucko. Det är bara att gilla läget. Suck!
Tycker faktiskt att KBAB kan få all skit dom kan dom förtjänar. Hälsningar från en som bor i slumhuset på Svarvaregatan..
Jo, som sagt, jag kan förstå hennes problem, men tycker knappast nyhetsvärdet är så högt eller att det är av riksintresse..
Så du bor också i slummen ? :-)
Vi säger så i porten. Kbab har nämligen slutat att underhålla sina hyreshus. Mitt fönster i badrummet faller snart ut & en granne har fått mögel i sitt som Kbab endast målar över varje år. Fuktspärren torkar ut med åren & bör bytas men det struntar dom i. Möglet kanske tätar tillslut? Underhållet börjar bli under all kritik.
Man kan se på kåkarna i kvarteret som är bostadsrätter & mitt i allt det välskötta dyker vårt slumhus upp med mögliga balkonger, ruttna vindskivor & med illaluktande v.s. rör. Jo, vi har påtalat det för vår hyresvärd utan resultat. Nu struntar vi & tjata & låter skiten falla i bitar.
Men det är inget fel på hyresgästerna. Vi håller upp dörrar & vi pratar med varandra.
P.s Jag tror Mc Cain vinner valet i U.S.A.
