Coffee And Costochondritis

That monkey president

Battiato Quoting from "Hermeneutics" "states servants bow to the monkey as President s'invade strikes will kill the bad guy is chasing you invent democracy" . If I have been so along the fault is absent for a little 'as that monkey President (how? you have not noticed the resemblance?) that Americans find themselves in government at this time. The news arrived in the new year it was that of a 20% cut in funds dedicated to my research project. This with the fact that another grant has not arrived, led to the following situation in my lab: curtailment of my contr act from October to June, but even sadder, the dismissal of three people (7). In normal times we would have probably received the funds, but in the States are not normal times, although maybe the TV trying to convince you otherwise. Saddam Hussein was hanged, but the war in Iraq goes on. Senseless war. War with high costs, both human and monetary. And so are a lot of money to keep 180,000 soldiers overseas. But the reserves of a country with an economy sinking are not enough, so you must cut somewhere. And who are the first to pay the price? Of course! As usual are researchers and research, landfill problems in the state. So recently I spent 10 days of hell trying to write another project and the application for a post-doc position in July. Let's hope so: even America, the one with a capital A, is not all rosy.
Waiting for new elections, I can not choice but to grit their teeth and continue working on my project. Too much talk. I hope ch and will soon return the era of the white boar.
