10 points
In a column in today's MF Dnes newspaper, Karel Steigerwald says the CSSD party has all but admitted that their election campaign promises were empty words. Of course, they have expressed this sweet nothing in a far more winded and exhaustive way.
Steigerwald's column, titled "10 Points for Nothing," plays off the CSSD's June campain and statements by many parties regarding a new proposal Tuesday for a coalition government. They might as well all get together and become one party, he writes: The Party of General Good.

Just about every day, politicians stand at the podium before journalists and the like public in order to say nothing in many words. It would be nice if the public stopped taking this. And if an end arrived to this comedy. . . .

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
