Pro USA

Whoever is President some things never change:

How liberal liberals are

Are left-wing people in favour of freedom of opinion? Yes, as long as you share their opinion ;-)
This attitude can be observed in Hesse right now. The four SPD members who opposed the collaboration with The LEFT are being called “traitors”. And one member of The LEFT party, Hermann Schaus, even called them “sneaking pigs”.

Anti-Americanism is safe

This is a great article about anti-Americanism! I totally agree.
“False hope for global unity” by Lawrence Solomon, Financial Post,
October 31, 2008:
My American friends believe that, after Barack Obama becomes president, America will once again be loved around the world. They are wishful thinkers.
Anti-Americanism didn’t begin with George Bush and it won’t end with an Obama [...]

Good news from Hesse

The spook is over! This morning four members of the Hesse SPD declared that they are not going to vote for Andrea Ypsilanti tomorrow.
Right after the announcement Fraport (Frankfurt Airport) shares rose by 13 %.

Why is Obama so slim?

Otherwise, he would not be able to walk on water.
I have just found this joke in today`s BILD am Sonntag and I think it is hilarious. And as long as the (Un-) Fairness Doctrine is not yet reestablished I guess I am still allowed to post it?

The (Un-) Fairness Doctrine

So far I have never had any concrete plans of emigrating to the US. But I found it reassuring to know that if ever Germany or Europe should fall back to the dark days of national socialism or communism or given most recent developments Scharia should be introduced in Germany, there would be a country [...]

Scharia in Bavaria

This sounds like a belated Halloween joke, but it is not! Bavarian FDP politician Georg Barfuß asked to introduce Scharia or at least parts of it in Bavaria. Unbelievable! I wonder what is next …
Die Forderungen des neuen, von der FDP gestellten Integrationsbeauftragten Georg Barfuß nach der teilweisen Einführung der islamischen Rechtsordnung Scharia in Bayern [...]

Halloween in politics

I am prepared for Halloween. No, I am not wearing a costume myself, but I have lots of sweets in my cupboard for the little monsters and ghosts that will soon start ringing at my door and ask me: “Süßes oder Saures?” (Trick or treat?).
I do not mind that. What I do not like [...]

Halloween at Frankenstein

I did not know that Burg Frankenstein which I can actually see from my house was that famous! The Canadian Press reports today:
Thousands flock to German keep that may have inspired Shelley’s Frankenstein
MUEHLTAL, Germany — Boris Karloff never walked these grounds, but the history of Burg Frankenstein may have inspired Mary Shelley’s famous monster.
It has [...]

Green dating

Green dating. Until yesterday I did not even know that this existed. But as I read in WELT am Sonntag (“Naturliebhaber gesucht“ von Thomas Ramge, 28. Oktober 2008) there are indeed lots of websites about green, or ethically correct dating ;-) like planetearthsingles who say about themselves:
A green-friendly dating site. We cater to environmentalists, animal [...]
