I have just listened to Sarah Palin`s speech and I am almost speechless. She is incredible! 44-years old, mother of five, intelligent, feisty, bold, independent, with ececutive experience as governor of Alaska, … and good-looking! She really impressed me. And the fact that McCain chose her shows the fundamental difference between Democrats and Conservatives: Democrats [...]
I am happy about every golden medal Germany has won, but there is one I am particularly pleased about:
The German cyclist Sabine Spitz took gold in the women’s mountain bike race. And I do not only admire her for her athletic achievement, but she has also been one of the nine German Olympians that have [...]
Dennis Prager explains why he is not a liberal (”Why I am not a liberal”, townhall, August 12, 2008):
(…) I believe in American exceptionalism, meaning that (a) America has done more than any international organization or institution, and more than any other country, to improve this world; and (b) that American values (specifically, the unique [...]
I have just received an email from my best friend.
Not to alarm you, but Afghanistan is more dangerous than it was in the past. Please say a prayer for my safety.
Oh boy, I am praying for your safety every night and every day! Silently. I am not very good at doing this in public.

I have already heard some good conspiracy theories about the Russian war against Georgia:
1. Nato is to blame because it surrounded Russia.
2. The US is to blame because they want to build a missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
But what is missing in these two theories is the Jews. Usually every good [...]
Where is it?
Russia invaded Georgia, a sovereign state. This is a clear breach of international law. And I wonder where are the protests?
Let`s go to Heidelberg and see whether the same people who built a “symbolic protective shield for International Law” back in 2003 when the Iraq war took place are now building a wall [...]
In reports last week ZDF created doping conspiracy theories about American Olympians. The athletes were not directly accused of doping, but weird questions were being asked.
The summary of the report called “Zum Ziel hin schneller: Gedopt?” (“Strong finish: Doped?”) reads like this:
Die US-Schwimmer bei Olympia begeistern durch ihre sportlichen Leistungen. Auch Leichtathleten werden [...]
I must admit I never understood why the Olympic Games were given to China. OK, they promised more openness and freedom. But where is it? The Internet is censored, pro-Tibetan protesters are being arrested and the opening ceremony was partly faked.
But well of course there is at least one attractive reason to watch the [...]
Your grandfather fought the Germans in WW I.
Your father fought Nazis in WW II.
And you are fighting Islamists today.
You are awesome, my friend!
Take care and come back safely.
God bless America!
I love Telekom. I really do. My internet is not working since yesterday. So I called the hotline today and they told me that it was probably due to a thunderstorm and that I should take the router and go to the next T-Punkt shop to have it checked. So I did. The friendly lady [...]
