"There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion." Thus Bram Stoker , one of ... |

Всеки българин би произнесъл съкращението РБ (Република България) като РъБъ. В стремежа си да наричам нещата с истинските им имена, реших да запазя естетиката на фонетиката. "Президент на РъБъ" е опит за запознанство с истината от "най-висша инстанция". И е монолог за несъстоялия се разговор в българските медии. Инстанцията е толкова висша, че се е превърнала в "свещена крава" начело на стадото. Имаш крава, пиеш мляко. Ако нямаш, пиеш една студена вода. Пих една и ми подейства лековито. Препоръчвам я. Избистря паметта. Камък може да ви падне от сърцето. Разширява зениците, кръгозора и свития ... |
