Fluke in billiards, the Waterloo carambola

It has been a very entertaining night. The television monitoring of election day has given us a frankly enjoyable journalistic tension. It has been particularly interesting to verify once again that in the Atresmedia empire, its two main chains maintain their picturesque divergence in their political gaze.

The final summary, bordering on dawn, of vincent valles on A3 TV, and the one on Antonio Garcia Ferreras in La Sexta, he gave us a very tasty television contrast. valles summarized what happened in the long afternoon-night of the electoral recount warning that Feijóo had been the winner of the elections and that the leader of the PP was very “oh really” form government. A little later, that same morning, Ferreras summed up what happened by saying that it was Pedro Sanchez the only one who could be president of the Government. In other words, for La Sexta the man was Sanchezand for A-3 it was Feijóo. It is very curious, and analyzable, this different way of looking that exists within this television empire.

Since it now turns out that all the arithmetic of Sanchez passes, at least, through the abstention of Junts, I have carefully followed ‘Telenotícies migdía’ (TV-3). They effectively pointed out the matter, with signs that said ‘Junts has the key to the investiture’, and ‘Junts wants to talk from State to State’. But puigdemont it only appeared in stock footage. Not a connection to Waterloo. It has surprised me. Now that the entire political circus agrees that puigdemontpure carambola, is decisive, and even Pilar Rahola warned this afternoon in ‘Everything is a lie’ (Cuatro), with satisfaction «At the moment the capital of Spain is Waterloo». He has surprised me, I repeat, that on TV-3 they have not given him a clue. In my opinion, this time a connection with Puigdemont was opportune. Who knows, maybe tonight on ‘TN vespre’, or on ‘Més 324’, a program that subjugates everything Belgian.

The word fluke is a term widely used in billiards, when a carambola comes out by chance, without having intended it. The fluke is the heritage of apprentice billiard players. Creatures with little experience in the art of billiards, who are suddenly surprised because in a competition that they have lost they inadvertently hit a magnificent carambola. With a fluke carambola it is almost never possible to win the game. But it manages to attract attention for a while.
