The nude photos were published in Gazeta Sot. Just a cheap attempt really by Berisha and his loonies to try and provoke Rama.

I don't see what the big deal with the nude pictures is.

But apparently, Rama is gaining popularity as a result of the publication of these photos.
Polls shows a 4% increase in support for Rama, one day after the publication of the pictures. :)

You are welcome. Yes Rama has been ahead throughout the campaign.

Before the publication of the pictures the support for Rama was about 55% (according to some unofficial polls). Yesterday the support jumped to 60%.

I have a problem with those polls. I think it is very unprofessional the way they use terms like...the polls have shown....please show me the polls!!!! I know of one at peshkupauje, but more than half the people that have voted there are not going to be able to vote, because they are not in Albania.

Albania and the Perils of the 21st Century

Another article on religion in Albania appeared yesterday. Patrick Poole, writing in the American Thinker , argues that Saudi funding for the construction of mosques and the training of imams is a threat to Albania, since these mosques and imams reflect the fundamentalist interpretation of Islam dominant in Saudi Arabia.

Big in Albania

Ask me how much I knew about Albania before coming here and my list would be a short one: Enver Hoxha, bunkers and Sir Norman Wisdom. I have no idea when or how I acquired this extensive body of knowledge, but the association of Norman Wisdom with Albania was by far the most interesting part of it. I remember watching Norman Wisdom's old films on British television. My parents were fans of his wholesome, slapstick comedy, but apparently missed the ideological significance of Pitkin's relationship with Mr Grimsdale. Pitkin, the downtrodden and oppressed representative of the workers, triumphed every time over his capitalist oppressor, Mr Grimsdale - and he got the girl. It took a theorist of Hoxha's insight and profundity to discern this deeper political message. It always seemed tremendously unlikely, yet the story of Sir Norman's fame in Albania has been reported in worthy sources like the BBC , the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph .
