By chance, because lately I'd rather play than read what my fellow journalists write, I saw how Vesna Pusić was urging my government to send an ambassador to Zagreb, so if this matter has not been resolved in the last week, why should I not visit the homeland as much as I can? I, who climbed over the readers' heads by inserting Russian words and idioms, do not know that magnificent language nearly as well as Croatian.
Of course, that is not enough, and others follow the material when they turn on HRT, but I have evidence, it is not nice to say evidence, that I used Croatian words in my own works, which is why I have been reprimanded more than once by Serbian language purists. I also understand modern Croatian, and I would gladly submit to a lie detector or some other truth-determining machine, to be asked how I stand with the previous, but also with modern Croatian, to be asked how I stand with Krlež, Držić, Marinković, Dragojević (not Oliver, rather than Daniel), did I read the poems of that Stanković from HRT, etc. Second, or first, I never stopped singing Croatian songs in the pub, Dalmatian, Slavonian, Zagorje songs, I did wrong Istria, but she also wronged me, because her songs are too complicated for our generally simple musicality.
Let's go to the distant past, to the mythical Yugoslavia: my father bought two mares, white mares, in Đakovo, which is not close to us at all, for Olga, who was pure white and with a mane that seemed to have been added to her in Hollywood or Činećita , the seller claimed that she was in foal, and indeed we had a beautiful foal from her, Vihora, later Odra... The other mare, a pea, was called Sojka and she the salesman said to my father: "You can't foal a jay." Since childhood, I have therefore lived in the belief that a Croat, in our case a Slavonian, can be trusted. As a member of the ans. I played "Lola" I don't even know how many times and for how many years, in Dubrovnik, Opatija County, Slavonia, Zagreb, Pleternica, Slav. Burns. I don't know if my para-journalistic work was noticed in Croatia, but I did her almost as much good as I did our pale mother: I made fun of her in approx. St. possible Croatian xenophobia, where I had observed it, carved out mockery and neighborly drunkenness with glory and military brilliance like "Storm", I mocked their obsession with greatness, the generals who looked like Hague, I reproached them for ethnically cleansing the country and denying the cleansed the right to and they buy the apartments obtained from the state like the natives. Yes. I have an international, overseas alibi that I did not participate in the Homeland War as an occupier: my hands were in flour, flour 500, which, if I'm not mistaken after all these summers, was considered the most suitable for muffins: I was a baker in Philadelphia.
Croatia really has nothing to complain about, but in order to become His Excellency, the country that sends you needs to be remembered for something good.
So let's see.
The other day I read in an admittedly tabloid (but isn't that a synonym for a daily newspaper?) how the prime minister is adamant about canceling the government plane, that he will sell it, or lock it up, because he is in over his head how many people are happily and widely driven, and who was the first, if not the only one, to write that the government does not deserve and does not need any airplane? I wrote. For dignitaries to travel on regular lines, to book tickets on time, the economy class is full of them, whoever wants to go first, has to pay the difference from his minister's pocket. There is nothing urgent or sublime in the work they perform, I first intuitively, and then scientifically established and scientifically explained it.
Maybe half a year ago, there was an auction of scrapped and, above all, too many official cars, and who was the most boring writing relentlessly against that feudal custom, that a nobleman should have an official horse, camel, mule or bear? Well, my reckoning with the presidents of the municipalities and with the directors: what is the use of the mayor's car, where does he even go, and why does he avoid public transport so much, why doesn't he drive his car when he has the highest salary in the entire commune, parish, district, county and Nahiji?
It is impossible for all my help to Serbia to stop at two points. Yes, yes, here!
Who warned about the unhealthy and sinful closeness of the Holy Mother to the state, who demanded that the Church also pay taxes, because it is far from a non-profit organization, who grumbled whenever some church dignitary forgot himself and started solving completely secular issues, and which also concern citizens of other faiths, as well as us heathens? Now, little by little, some high government official has to say that he respects and loves His Holiness, but that His Holiness will not. decide instead of the Government, the Ministry?
Who is from the famous court, etc. the judge demanded that the lack of piety be tried and that the church treasurer be tried like any financial criminal, that their personal resentment that the Patriarchate was sacked, and not the country, should not enter into the verdict. cooperative? Okay, this could have gone as 3a, but keep it running. version.
An aggravating circumstance for me: my father was in the partisans, but this will come out while Putin is visiting us, that's why I'm reporting it now; the open letter to the MFA will continue until the petitioner's request is fully met.
