Orçamento privado da Rio 2016 aumenta 68% em três anos e governo pagará a conta
Montagem: Avebarna Imagem original: Internet
Que novidade! Nossa brava (em todos os sentidos) presidenta Dilma Roussef precisa vir a público explicar como funciona o contrato do governo brasileiro com a transnacional do entretenimento chamada Comitê Olímpico Internacional. Supõe-se que o Tesouro brasileiro esteja investindo bilhões nesse empreendimento privado para obter retornos para o país, certo? Onde está, porém, essa avaliação? Que instituição do Estado brasileiro avaliou ganhos e perdas do investimento olímpico, com base na experiência recente, para saber que se trata de um bom negócio? As noções de "prestígio internacional" e "não podemos ficar para trás" falam por si mesmas? Os intangíveis são fabulosos?
A nação tem o direito de saber o que pensam, de fato, sobre a matéria, os governantes que ela elegeu. O país inteiro aplaudiria se a presidenta viesse à TV explicar porque a Olimpíada de 2016 é um bom negócio para a maioria trabalhadora do país. Talvez seja. Discutamos, pois. Democracia é isso.

Arrasa o meu projeto de vida
Querida, estrela do meu caminho
Espinho cravado em minha garganta
Garganta
A santa às vezes troca meu nome
E some
E some nas altas da madrugada
Coitada, trabalha de plantonista
Artista, é doida pela Portela
Ói ela
Ói ela, vestida de verde e rosa
A Rosa garante que é sempre minha
Quietinha, saiu pra comprar cigarro
Que sarro, trouxe umas coisas do Norte
Que sorte
Que sorte, voltou toda sorridente
Demente, inventa cada carícia
Egípcia, me encontra e me vira a cara
Odara, gravou meu nome na blusa
Abusa, me acusa
Revista os bolsos da calça
A falsa limpou a minha carteira
Maneira, pagou a nossa despesa
Beleza, na hora do bom me deixa, se queixa
A gueixa
Que coisa mais amorosa
A Rosa
Ah, Rosa, e o meu projeto de vida?
Bandida, cadê minha estrela guia
Vadia, me esquece na noite escura
Mas jura
Me jura que um dia volta pra casa
Arrasa o meu projeto de vida
Querida, estrela do meu caminho
Espinho cravado em minha garganta
Garganta
A santa às vezes me chama Alberto
Alberto
Decerto sonhou com alguma novela
Penélope, espera por mim bordando
Suando, ficou de cama com febre
Que febre
A lebre, como é que ela é tão fogosa
A Rosa
A Rosa jurou seu amor eterno
Meu terno ficou na tinturaria
Um dia me trouxe uma roupa justa
Me gusta, me gusta
Cismou de dançar um tango
Meu rango sumiu lá da geladeira
Caseira, seu molho é uma maravilha
Que filha, visita a família em Sampa
Às pampa, às pampa
Voltou toda descascada
A fada, acaba com a minha lira
A gira, esgota a minha laringe
Esfinge, devora a minha pessoa
À toa, a boa
Que coisa mais saborosa
A Rosa
Ah, Rosa, e o meu projeto de vida?
Bandida, cadê minha estrela guia?
Vadia, me esquece na noite escura
Mas jura
Me jura que um dia volta pra casa
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, “My God, they killed them all!”
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin’ that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Three bodies lyin’ there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin’ around mysteriously
“I didn’t do it,” he says, and he throws up his hands
“I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand
I saw them leavin’,” he says, and he stops
“One of us had better call up the cops”
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
In the hot New Jersey night
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
’Less you wanna draw the heat
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
He said, “I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates”
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said, “Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead”
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Says, “Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!”
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin’ that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
“Remember that murder that happened in a bar?”
“Remember you said you saw the getaway car?”
“You think you’d like to play ball with the law?”
“Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?”
“Don’t forget that you are white”
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, “I’m really not sure”
Cops said, “A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend Bello
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You’ll be doin’ society a favor
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin’ braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain’t no Gentleman Jim”
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge made Rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
The crime was murder “one,” guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell
That’s the story of the Hurricane
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he’s done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
