Yea!lol! You laugh your assoff? You don't laugh your head off because you can't do nothing with your head. The as* is the only thing you can use, even for laughing.

Yes, a break from the fast paced world of social disorder (USC). Quite comical at times! Needing a break. Thanks for the correction on the redneck talking and writing. I guess I need to brush up.

VOJISLAV KOSTUNICA WAS a rumpled loner who spent his days translating treatises on democracy such as The Federalist Papers. Zoran Djindjic couldn’t have been more different: a flashy leftist who divided his time between editing a philosophy magazine and reportedly supplementing his meager income with shady business dealings, as many Yugoslavs who traveled to the West did. “Djindjic was a small-time smuggler of carpets and hard currency,” says a colleague, “while Kostunica was always in his office, poring over his books.” Djindjic has always denied any wrongdoing.
A generation later, Kostunica and Djindjic still make uneasy bedfellows. Swept into power last September in the revolution that toppled Slobodan Milosevic, Yugoslav President Kostunica is the most popular politician in Serbia. But Djindjic, the kingmaker who persuaded Kostunica to become the opposition’s candidate, is the man to watch. With parliamentary elections on Dec. 23 set to sweep Milosevic’s Socialist Party from government, Djindjic will become Serbia’s prime minister, a position that carries more real power than Kostunica’s largely ceremonial one. What’s likely to follow, experts say, is a fierce power struggle that could leave one man in the dust. The outcome will affect a range of thorny issues, from the independence movement in Montenegro, to a guerrilla war on the Kosovo border and the punishment of Serb war criminals. Earlier this month one Belgrade tabloid ran the headline who will be the boss?



The tensions between the two have been building for years. The son of a Yugoslav Army officer in Bosnia, Djindjic, 48, earned a doctorate in political philosophy in West Germany in the 1970s. He became enamored of New Left guru Herbert Marcuse and flirted with greens and anarchists. Returning to Belgrade in the late ’70s, he cut a dashing figure, surrounded by a circle of young intellectuals—and attractive women. At the Belgrade institute he met Kostunica, the son of a Serbian Supreme Court judge who’d lost his job after the communists seized power. The two men were part of a group of 12 dissidents who formed Serbia’s first opposition party in 1990. In the long struggle to oust Milosevic, the their styles contrasted sharply. The anti-communist Kostunica was a legalist who favored incremental change. Djindjic was a firebrand and a Machiavellian wheeler-dealer. “We simply belong to different worlds,” Kostunica said this week, alluding to his rival.
The animosity between the two broke into the open in November. Anxious to build his own power base, Kostunica retained Milosevic’s two key loyalists, Army Chief of Staff Nebojsa Pavkovic and Special Service Chief Rade Markovic. That infuriated Djindjic, who believes the old guard must be dealt with ruthlessly; he expressed his dismay that the two men “weren’t dismissed long ago.”

Mocking Kostunica and other churchgoing opposition leaders, he recently said, “church is where you cleanse yourself, where you bow for two hours. In politics, things have to be different.” Kostunica fired back after Djindjic—eager to change his image as a pro-NATO “lackey”—called for a massive military crackdown against ethnic Albanian guerrillas in the Presevo Valley in southern Serbia. Kostunica labeled such rhetoric “dangerous and irresponsible.” He has also threatened to withhold his endorsement of Djindjic as the next prime minister.


See our special report on Milosevic's reign of terror.
It’s still unclear which man will prevail. Kostunica enjoys a 77 percent approval rating, six times that of his rival. But as prime minister, Djindjic will control the police, Treasury and state media. If Djindjic calls the shots, he could quickly grant independence to Montenegro and make a deal with Kosovo’s ethnic-Albanian leaders, moves that the Serb nationalist Kostunica opposes. On one subject both men agree: Slobodan Milosevic. They oppose his extradition to The Hague but would like him tried for corruption and murder before a Serb court. On the campaign trail, Djindjic strongly suggested that Milosevic and his inner circle would be arrested soon: “The independent public prosecutors will be kept very busy,” he told NEWSWEEK. As for his upcoming debut as prime minister, “I’ve never in my life opted for easy jobs,” he said. “My temperament is such that I like challenge.” He’s certain to get plenty of it in coming months.
