In spite of the ordered numbers, I insist that the numbers offer no ordered solution to the question of value or preference on the part of the judge.
- A Romania-USA extradition treaty enters into force. Both parties look pleased.
- Romanian rail freightway operators will spend a few days in Munich this month in the hopes of expanding their continental railway operations.
- The National Liberal Party (PNL) officially declared Crin Antonescu will be their candidate for the 2009 presidential election.
- Meanwhile, Corneliu Vadim Tudor continues his mockery of democratic politics by announcing his official candidacy for the presidential election for the Greater Romania Party (PRM). If Vadim wins, he hopes Gigi Becali will join him in forming the most corrupt government this side of post-communist history.
- US Sec. of State Hillary Clinton calls Romania "one of the US' most dependable allies". Does this mean the Obama administration has changed its mind about foregoing the special terrorist camps?
- A snapshot of southern Romania from the Carpathians to the Danube.
- Prime Minister Boc is on the right side of the education debate at a time when left and right are increasingly shady in Romania. Clearly a decentralized education system would allow the government to better serve local needs of various Romanian demographic and ethnic groups.
- Neither is Boc too concerned about German suggestions to cut aid to Romania over problems with the justice system. "Unfazed" indeed.
- A great post on Romanian folklore, including the origins of the Earth tales. And a picture of a dragon.
- The official NATO report on the Sec. General's recent visit to Romania.
