Mine as well.

My favorite anti-philosopher, Yogi Berra, is famous for saying “It ain’t over….till it’s over”, and it by no means is over. Not yet, anyway.

But, there is now a news story posted on the “Diena” website that the latest initiative that’s being floated by the Vienotība and ZRP operatives is an overarching rainbow coalition that includes 4 parties, including SC and its politically polar antagonist, the VL-TB/LNNK party.

papildināta (4) - ZRP un Vienotība vēlas veidot plašu koalīciju kopā ar SC un nacionālo apvienību

I’m not sure what’s more surprising, this turn of events or the verdict that Amanda Knox has just been found innocent by the Italian pasta justice system? I happen to think that both decisions are the right decisions - the Letts should have the necessary votes in such a coalition to get things done even if SC bails on them en masse on any particular issue - but I’m surprised nonetheless, that the V and ZRP tribes would even consider that.

But, then again it isn’t quite yet over for Amanda or Latvia….

Not to be flippant but it can’t be a rainbow without ZZS!
I for one am glad ZZS is specifically excluded from this proposed four partner coalition but the odds of the nationalists and Harmony being together in one coalition are slim and none.

Int, I agree with your playing the odds that such a coalition is impossible, but then again I think of Philippe Petit, the Frenchman who walked the highwire strung between New York City’s World Trade Center’s twin towers in 1974. He apparently very famously said upon first viewing the daunting task that lay ahead of him, “This is impossible….now let’s get to work.”

Rusofīli—lūdzu, izceļiet “Saskaņas Centra” spējīgākos kadrus!  Sāksim ar Ādamsonu?

Ušakovs, Cilevičs, Pimenovs….Un tas man atgadina Veldri (veterinārs un aizsardzības ministrs) un Atis “Nasing Spešl” Slakteris. Viņi bija spēcigi kadri.

Or to get even more extreme… Zatler, es nožņaugšu tevi “savām rokām” ! I’m beginning to think we are like the US at the time of segregation. Who will be our Martin Luther King, Jr.? :)
