C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché non li conosce, è ignorante, impreparato, sciatto e non ha voglia di studiare, di informarsi, di aggiornarsi.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché trovare le notizie costa fatica e si rischia persino di sudare.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché non vuole rogne e tira a campare galleggiando, barcamenandosi, slalomando.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché ha paura delle querele, delle cause civili, delle richieste di risarcimento miliardarie, che mettono a rischio lo stipendio e attirano i fulmini dell’editore stufo di pagare gli avvocati per qualche rompicoglioni in redazione.


C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché si sente embedded, fa il tifo per un partito o una coalizione, non vuole disturbare il manovratore.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché se no lo attaccano e lui vuole vivere in pace.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché altrimenti non lo invitano più in certi salotti, dove s’incontrano sempre leader di destra e leader di sinistra, controllori e controllati, guardie e ladri, puttane e cardinali, prìncipi e rivoluzionari, fascisti ed ex lottatori continui, dove tutti sono amici di tutti ed è meglio non scontentare nessuno.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché confonde l’equidistanza con l’equivicinanza.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché contraddicono la linea del giornale.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché l’editore preferisce così.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché aspetta la promozione.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché fra poco ci sono le elezioni.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché quelli che li raccontano se la passano male.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché certe cose non si possono dire.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché «hai visto che fine han fatto Biagi e Santoro».
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché è politicamente scorretto affondare le mani nella melma, si rischia di spettinarsi e di guastarsi l’abbronzatura, molto meglio attenersi al politically correct.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché altrimenti diventa inaffidabile e incontrollabile e non lo invitano più in televisione.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché fa più fine così: si passa per anticonformisti, si viene citati, si crea il «dibbattito».
C’è chi nasconde i fatti anche a se stesso, perché ha paura di dover cambiare opinione.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti per solidarietà con Giuliano Ferrara, che è molto intelligente e magari poi si sente solo.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché i servizi segreti lo pagano apposta.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti anche se non lo pagano, ma magari un giorno pagheranno anche lui.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché il coraggio uno non se lo può dare.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché nessuno gliel’ha ancora chiesto, ma magari, prima o poi, qualcuno glielo chiede.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché così poi qualcuno lo ringrazia.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché spesso sono tristi, spiacevoli, urticanti, e non bisogna spaventare troppo la gente che vuole ridere e divertirsi.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché altrimenti poi tolgono la pubblicità al giornale.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché se no poi non lo candida più nessuno.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché così, poi, magari, ci scappa una consulenza col governo o con la Rai o con la Regione o con il Comune o con la Provincia o con la Camera di commercio o con l’Unione industriali o col sindacato o con la banca dietro l’angolo.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché deve tutto a quella persona e non vuole deluderla.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché altrimenti è più difficile voltare gabbana quando gira il vento.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché altrimenti poi la gente capisce tutto.
C’è chi nasconde i fatti perché è nato servo e, come diceva Victor Hugo, «c’è gente che pagherebbe per vendersi».

Twitter is a curious thing. Sometimes it lends a great deal of insight into the way somebody's day-to-day mind works. It can be a great platform for comedy, but it can also be a bottomless pit of inanity.
But recently I've been following a particular feed that I find endlessly fascinating, and it belongs to Miley Cyrus. Her feed gets updated five to eight times a day, and most of them are filled with genuine human insight and surprising levels of sadness.

The first thing that struck me is how mundane her life appears to be (or at least the things she chooses to tweet about). But it doesn't come across as a famous person narcissistically gazing into her own navel and declaring everything about her life interesting — rather, they are the dispatches of a 16-year-old girl trying to find her way (which, if you recall, is exactly what she is). "Making dinner. AKA a peanut butter and jelly," reads a tweet from yesterday. She even tags it with a smiley-face emoticon.
As one of the most famous people on the planet, you would assume that she has a private chef at her beck and call ready to prepare a shark steak sandwich for her. But no!
Sometimes being 16 and famous means making yourself a PB&J in the wee hours of the morning.

Cyrus' Twitter also reveals excellent musical taste. She tips her hat to Ryan Adams, Coldplay, Colbie Caillat, Copeland and Vampire Weekend, all in the span of a handful of tweets. But she's also not self-conscious about her choices, as she recently praised Celine Dion.

But the thing that really cuts deep is the profound amount of existential angst that regularly sneaks into her tweets. Just today, she wrote "I can't remember the last time I felt beautiful. Ugh. I hate being a girl sometimes." Elsewhere, she talks about loneliness in very frank ways. "I feel so yucky today. Intense rehearsals are starting up and I have the worst head ache. I just wanna be cuddled."
A few days ago, she tweeted, "'There falls no shadow where there shines no sun,'" a quote from English writer and philosopher Hilaire Belloc. It's a loaded line tweeted by a girl having to deal with the ups and downs of being a teenager in an extremely public setting, and in those quiet moments alone she thinks about the same things non-famous 16-year-olds do.

Miley Cyrus certainly comes across as grounded in public, but because she is somebody who was essentially born famous, it can be difficult to figure out what is real and what is a construction (ironically, she has the same problems in her real life as her character Hannah Montana). But her Twitter humanizes her in ways that no other medium does. I'm convinced that once she grows up a bit and is allowed to make more "adult" music, she's going to turn out some truly incredible stuff that will mine the depths of her own condition in a shockingly honest fashion (I imagine her taking the reverse trajectory of Liz Phair, where her fifth album is raw and all about her real-life love drama).

Until then, she's earned a follower not by being famous but by being real.

I still cannot believe it has been been 5 years.
Woah. 5 freaking years since the premiere of LOST.

Three days ago we all died. We should all be able to start over

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
D. Romano
