House Rep. Jiri Slegr

Slegr has become the new assistant coach of the Czech Extraleague team HC Litvinov. He will still keep his House seat (though I think he is slowly preparing for the exit - I don't think he has much chance to defend thanks to the above mentioned defection from the Social Democrats). And yes, his hairline shows he is 40-something!

With his team falling into the 4-team play-out group (i.e. facing relegation from the Czech Extraleague), Slegr decided to UNRETIRE to become the No. 7 D-man for HC Litvinov. So far, he has played in 3 or 4 games. Until today, he had just 1 fighting major. However, today he had 2 assists on 4 goals scored by Litvinov in the last 5 minutes of regulation, leading the team to 6:3 victory over HC Energie Carlsbad.

With 3 play-out games to play, Litvinov is 6 points ahead (=2 regulation W) of the last place HC Mlada Boleslav.

Slegr still keeps his House Rep. seat - so I believe he is the only active politician to ever record a point in the history of the Czech hockey.

Slegr tried to get elected as a Senator, but failed badly:

He will keep his House seat until the next elections, but it looks like his political career is almost over.

One of the avant-garde art groups just posted their newest art piece called "Moral Reform", currently on display in Prague DOX art gallery. It contains personal cell phone numbers of all House Representatives and the number of the Czech President. Next to the picture, they installed a telephone (check the lower left corner of the picture) that the visitors of the art exhibition can use to send an anonymous text message to anybody from that list. According to the authors "we gave people the most direct method of democracy." And the visitors apparently do text! The first text message went to the ex-Mayor of Prague and said "{You} thief!".
