			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE ZERO TOLERANCE MENTALITY, PART 4,260 IN A LONG SERIES: Adam<br />
 Hernandez, 15, a freshman at Shorewood (Wisc.) High School, was<br />
 arrested, handcuffed, and booked on a charge of theft after a friend<br />
 let him have his lunch. The friend was part of a free lunch program,<br />
 and Hernandez wasn&#8217;t, so eating the $2.60 chicken nugget meal was<br />
 &#8220;stealing,&#8221; school officials said, and they called police. But Police<br />
 Chief David Banaszynski finally decided to drop the charges just before<br />
 the boy went to trial; the school principal agreed with the decision.<br />
 &#8220;It shouldn&#8217;t have gone this far,&#8221; Banaszynski said. &#8220;There are other<br />
 means and methods to handle this kind of situation.&#8221; When asked whether<br />
 his officers should have made the arrest in the first place,<br />
 Banaszynski said the arrest was perhaps &#8220;a bit over the top,&#8221; but<br />
 &#8220;there&#8217;s more than one side of the story.&#8221; (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)<br />
 &#8230;Right: there&#8217;s the ridiculous side, and then there&#8217;s the outrageous<br />
 side.</p>

Nem mesmo o escárnio aberto aos que não seguiam o mesmo abandono de valores levantava vozes sérias de oposição. </p>
<p>Agora que o castelo de cartas ruiu, os artigos de opinião finalmente começam a questionar o &#8220;modelo americano&#8221; ou, como o filme <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/">&#8220;Wall Street&#8221;</a> dizia:</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">&#8220;Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and<br />
captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its<br />
forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the<br />
upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only<br />
save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the<br />
USA.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Um artigo dum jornal escocês  (aqui) descreve como uma menina americana, chamada Ursula, descreve como vigia as potenciais ameaças à paz mundial, nomeadamente as WMD&#8217;s (armas de destruição massiva). Neste caso, trata-se de uma destilaria de whisky escocês!!! Eu prefiro Porto mas apesar de whisky ser agreste, não costuma matar! Enfim, depende da dosagem mas &#8230;
O que eu achei fantástico foi a forma directa e exacta como os escoceses descrevem os americanos: &#8220;with the astonishing innocence of the American, &#8230;&#8221; (Com a assombrosa inocência dos americanos, &#8230;&#8221;).
De facto!

		<description><![CDATA[Este video de um jantar com jornalistas e um sósia é uma das melhores ocasiões de ver George Bush. Vale a pena ver que até tem algum sentido de humor.
Ao mesmo tempo, Bush  considerou que o melhor dia do seu governo foi quando apanhou uma perca no seu lago!?! Grande estadista. ;-)
