A few August ago it transpired that the Hindu god Ganesh had entered a church in Ceuta, carried on stretchers and to the sound of a salve rociera intoned by the unprejudiced parishioners.
This kind of Alliance of Civilizations in paperback, which spiced up with a couple of subplots would be a comedy of manners that Ealing studios would have longed for, is on YouTube and is my emergency antidepressant.
When I need to increase the dose, I do a double session with the video of the Telemadrid reporter who takes to the streets in search of a brawl against Madrid Central de Carmena to find that the citizens stubbornly strive to prefer clean air to a disease chronic lung.

As the magic of direct plays tricks on editorial lines, editors are increasingly cautious and precise.
This week they have achieved feats: from Galicians complaining about interiors at 27 degrees, when in the north we look at the air conditioners with the same strangeness as Johnny Weissmüller the elevators in Tarzan in , to laments that are already an anthology of nonsense: “the ice goes up, but not the salaries”, cries a passer-by in the Antena 3 news, because the revolution will be in the ball cup or it will not be and there is no great sports competition this summer, why not the Olympics of lack of solidarity in
prime time
.

The fact that they have sold us the end of the world every week has left me personally without the strength to face the
icegate
.
At least not without first composing myself with a dose of save Ganesh.
