  1. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is an annual event that has always been fun but since the presidency of Barack Obama has become a performance comparable to The Oscars, in Hollywood. Does this mean that politics in America is like a circus, as some brainy political journalists and analysts use to say? Actually here in Spain we look this event with envy.
  2. I argue just the opposite. But I militate for years in the minority misunderstood. Mainly by politicians. My minority is so minor that I have never found anyone who share my ideas. But no, the U.S. policy is not like a circus. What happens is that european politic is boring. Especially in Hispania. In this faraway province of the empire we are withstanding daily diatribes between "reds" and "franquists". Although lately, thanks God, we are having fun with corruption on both sides. Not with famous crisis. Spanish crisis is not funny. Almost until we decide if the witch is a red witch or a franquist witch.
  3. No. U.S. policy is well serious. Sometimes very serious. Like its predecessors, Barack Obama is also able to scare guys like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Or to Vladimir Putin, who is a black belt in judo but in international policy statements seems to be always on the defensive. His favorite subject seems to be "The Empire Strikes My Back".

  5. American policy usually goes very seriously. Just ask Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi thug, who finished hid in a hole, with no comb, nor brush teeth, nor toilet bag. Not to mention Bin Laden. Another very concerned lately with the United States is Bashir Al-Assad: "Not chemical weapons! Just itching powder! Saddam Hussein told me!" he stated in a special address to the WHCD's guests by Skype.
    But when it comes to fun, American policy is also fun. As befitting at a dinner party.
  6. I followed WHCD in live. For this I chose the most impartial and objective source that I could found, CNN's hub in Moscow, Russia Today, you know. Also following hashtag #NerdProm #WHCD on Twitter and Storify.
  7. Every year I learn something. But this year has been special: I understtod why in a small country like Spain we have no less than 7,614 professional comedians. It turns out what they do. Perhaps from his subconscious, perhaps not, but is to imitate president Obama in the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

  9. It was my epiphany. Arise ye workers [starvelings] from your slumbers, arise ye prisoners of want... Down with politicians. Italy, there we go. Beppe Grillo, get ready. Once again, thank you, America. I'm serious.

  11. Why you americans can overcome the periodicals crisis of the imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism, as everybody knows, and we don't? asked Kim Jong Un to the audience in his much applauded toast. "Maybe 'cause we have a great sense of humor and humor is intelligence and viceversa, my friend", says Joe Biden. That was when spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy tweeted "sí, hombre" ("yeah, sure", with his wellknown ironic mode).
