Sun, 01/05/2003 - 11:12am

Comment on CNN:

"The plane looks not so heavy. Crashing it [in the ECB building] will do a fairly modest amount of damage to the building and a fairly extensive amount of damage to his plane and himself".

Rapport Fortuyn online

Tue, 12/17/2002 - 8:42am

Fortuyn rapport.A while ago I've spent some time looking for an online version of the Srebrenica report. There is a special website about this (huge) report but the whole version is only for sale in bookstores.


However, the report on Fortuyn's security is completely online, a few hours after it's official presentation. You can find it here.

Bloody shame

Sun, 10/20/2002 - 1:41pm

Isn't it a bloody shame that this Nawijn guy is trying to fix the cabinet? With all due respect: he and his party really, really messed up the last months, and all of a sudden he's worried about the current economical situation and wants to restore the cabinet.

My opinion? Too late. Months, months too late. Let's see what the voters will say about the Puinhopen van Fortuyn (mess of Fortuyn).

The clowns are out!

Wed, 10/16/2002 - 6:57am

Finally the cabinet resigned; a very happy day!

On May 15th we were watching elections at home. Jerry, Marjolein, Tibor, Janneke and Alrik were here to watch TV. We had a cosy evening and I invited everybody to come again on the night of the next elections, around Christmas.

Quite surprisingly the new government did something I agree with: they've cancelled the (temporary) referendum law.

A year

My very first day in the States, in 1998, I went to the World Trade Center. Together with some other students who were going to work in the States I saw New York from to the observatory on top of one of the towers.

'Poor' guy...

Wed, 08/28/2002 - 8:55am

'Weet u wat ik vind? In Nederland wordt er heel erg negatief gereageerd op de ministers in dit kabinet. In Nederland is er direct een aantal mensen dat zegt: dit klopt niet, dat klopt niet, alles klopt niet! Er klopt helemaal niets van dit kabinet! Als je ziet hoe er is gereageerd op het strategisch akkoord van de kabinetsformatie!' Minister Nawijn (Volkskrant 28 augustus)
