Elefanten mitten in der Großstadt, und es werden immer mehr. Was geht hier vor? Rasch muss der Bundeskanzler erkennen, dass die Tiere nicht aus dem Zoo entkommen, sondern ein Geschenk des Präsidenten von Botswana sind. 20 000 Elefanten hat er nach Deutschland geschickt, nachdem die deutsche Regierung ein Einfuhrverbot von Jagdtrophäen beschlossen und damit den armen Regionen Botswanas die Lebensgrundlage entzogen hat. »Ihr Europäer wollt uns vorschreiben, wie wir zu leben haben.

"Il Napoleone di Notting Hill", pubblicata nel 1904, è la prima opera di narrativa di Chesterton. Nel romanzo vi è un miscuglio di generi che passano dalla satira al paradossale, dal fantastico alla trovata ingegnosa. Nascosto nell'opera il pensiero dell'autore: bisogna combattere per i propri ideali, dando l'importanza di tutto all'agire.

Alles muss man selber machen! Der Finne Surunen bricht auf, um in Mittelamerika den politischen Gefangenen Lopez zu befreien. Sonst macht es ja keiner. Die erste Etappe führt ihn jedoch nach Moskau, wo er die wodkareiche Gastfreundschaft des Pinguinforschers Lebkov genießt. Als er dann im zentralamerikanischen Diktaturstaat ankommt, hält man ihn für einen kommunistischen Terroristen. Ein Land namens Finnland existiere doch gar nicht.

He is the perfect presidential candidate. Conservatives love his hard-hitting Republican rsum. Liberals love his peaceful, progressive practicality. The media can’t get enough of his larger-than-life personality. And all the American people love that he’s an honest, hard-working man who tells it like it is. There’s just one problem. He is William Howard Taft...and he was already president a hundred years ago.

Das Land befindet sich mitten in einer Pandemie und die Kanzlerin sieht sich gezwungen, dem Volk eine unerfreuliche Mitteilung nach der Anderen zu machen. Als wären das nicht der Widrigkeiten genug, steht auch noch eine Wahl bevor und jeder sägt an ihrem Stuhl.

What if a story by Mark Twain about political economy had nothing to do with politics or economy? This humorous short story has everything to do with the interruptions by a workman the author faced when trying to pen thoughts on politics. There were many reasons Twain frustratingly agreed to something he never would have asked for, but the result were - shocking.

After a "minor" viral type disaster from Wuhan China takes place, America shuts down daily business and all inhabitants are forced or are required in a strong fashion to self-quarantine. The Kovid family, who live somewhere in the Eastern US, make the best of it through planned shopping maneuvers, family togetherness at dinner time, and the TV set. Mom and Dad Kovid have three sons aged 17, 16, and 13.

What if politicians cared about the country? What if people stopped being insane? What if the government earned its money instead of stealing it? The state-laid plans gang aft agley, and only ending taxes, setting term limits, the line-item veto, sunset legislation, and honest elections can amend 'em. What we need now is a good laugh, quotable economists, and missionaries for reality. Who's in?

La satira classica della rivoluzione russa di George Orwell è una parte intima della nostra cultura contemporanea, citata così spesso che tendiamo a dimenticare chi ha scritto le parole originali. È un resoconto della coraggiosa lotta che trasforma la fattoria terriera del signor Jones in fattoria degli animali, una società interamente democratica costruita sul credo che tutti gli animali sono creati uguali. Per intelligenza, i maiali Napoleone, Squealer e Palla di neve emergono come leader della nuova comunità in una sottile evoluzione che porta una insidiosa familiarità.

"Veníamos bien, pero de golpe pasaron cosas", dijo el presidente Mauricio Macri en junio del 2018 ante la perplejidad del pueblo argentino cuando el Gobierno volvió a pedir un préstamo al FMI. En estos relatos delirantes, lisérgicos, casi oníricos, Rosemblat, el Cadete, hace estallar la idea de verosimilitud para proponer que los años macristas quizás sean demasiado difíciles de comprender solo con las herramientas de la realidad.

Why are they targeting the disadvantaged? Why are the rich not taxed fairly? Why does everyone feel so powerless to make change for the better? Why is the anger of so many not being addressed? Why do the rich keep getting richer, while the poor are kept poor? Why is austerity becoming worse while the government laugh their heads off and give themselves huge pay raises and take so much? Why are they not paying for the austerity measures that they instigated and perpetuate?
