Picture of movie star Heath Ledger as the joker in the Batman movie The Dark Knight

I really had no choice this week. The one big headline is the death of actor Heath Ledger and all the questions surrounding the incident. I often wonder about the mechanisms that make us all feel bad when a known figure passes away. It’s strange bonding with people, you haven’t even met. And I must admit, I only saw Ledger in ‘Monster’s Ball’.

I just learned his name this week.

Is something the wrong, Mr Ledger?
Do you need anything, Mr. Ledger?
If you want anything more, you should come unlock the door.
Are you in there at all, Mr Ledger?

There are pills in your hand Mr. Ledger.
I really don’t understand, Mr. Ledger.
If you don’t wanna get up, I think I will loose my job.
I don’t know what to do, Mr Ledger.

Now where did it go wrong, Mr Ledger?
Is this Hollywood’s fault, did they get’ya?
Is it you or is it me, a new business casualty?
What will the world do without you, Mr. Ledger?

And now it feels empty here without you, Ledger.
We feel we know you, but haven’t even met’ya.
I didn’t watch your films. I really cannot tell,
why I miss you like hell, Heath Ledger.

Mr. Ledger

This isn’t right!
This isn’t right!
This isn’t right at all!
This is a growing concern, another call.
This is a mandate for change, a glowing ball.

Digg this!

Trash and garbage in Naples Italy

Pheew, this turns out to be more stressful than I planned.

This weeks episode features the problems of garbage removal in Naples, Italy. Apparently the local gangs are controlling and prolonging the conflict for financial reasons. Who would have thought, that garbage can turn to gold?

People have asked me if the One Weekly Gun episodes comes out on a regular day of the week. My answer: ‘No’. So check back as often as you can, and you might be in for the weekly premiere any day.

Why Should We Take Out The Trash
Download

From my window I can see,
what once used to be
the finest looking view in the Napoli.

Now it’s a view that kills
The ocean and the hills
are covered with one million peoples’ nigthly spills.

You think I should call the cops
You might think this is their job
But the cops are in the mob,
and the mob won’t mop it up.

To your neighbours, next of kin:
”Don’t expect an empty bin.”
Leave your longings on the porch for the dogs.

On the hood of my old car
are the remains of a cigar.
There are hairs in the sink
and used diapers in my drink.

Mr. Prodi send more cash.
Why should we take out the trash?
Merry Christmas, smelly new year too.

Week 2 - Clinton and Obama

Clinton

Another EXCITING week went by.
One story seemed to domintate the headlines.: The unexpected victory of Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. We all thought Obama would prevail, but at the last minute Clinton played the winning card: Tears.
Maybe the effect wasn’t caused by a candidate showing emotions. Maybe it was because she gave the world, what [...]
