Are you a Taliban?

On my favorite German blog “The Axis of Good” I found the TopTen ways to tell if you are a Taliban:
10. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.
9. You own a $300 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes.

“Anti-democratic protective shield”

In former DDR (= GDR) the official language was to call the Wall an “anti-fascist protective shield”. I found that hilarious. For if at all it was an “anti-democratic protective shield”.
So I really loved this cartoon by Burkhard Fritsche in “Welt am Sonntag”, Feb 24, 2008 about Christel Wegner. I wrote about her in [...]

Google results for Karin Quade

When searching my name in google I often get really interesting results. Yesterday I discovered that someone posted a video about me called “A visit at racist Karin Quade” showing me, my house and how to get there. The underlying music is well chosen: “I used to love her, but I had to kill her [...]

Happy New Year from Germany!

So much fog here that fireworks could hardly be seen, - but heard. And ugh, now I suspect our village has spoiled its CO2 balance ;-)

I love Heidelberg! II

That is a really nice early birthday present :-)

Nicht nur einer meiner Lieblingsromane, sondern auch der Name eines wundervollen Blogs: Die unerträgliche Leichtigkeit des Seins
Hier veröffentlicht Anna ihre wundervollen Gedanken und Gedichte …

Victim of Global Cooling

No, I am not talking about myself! I am prepared, I have got warm socks, winter pull-overs and a seat-heating in my car. 3 degrees Celsius on a summer morning can`t do me any harm. No, I am talking about a guy facing far more serious problems due to the absence of global warming:
“Ice blocks [...]

Appeasement and Global Cooling

Last night was a sleepless night. And it is not world politics that kept me awake. No, it is martens on, or more precisely somewhere in the roof of my house. And I do not exactly know what they are doing up there, but they are making a lot of noise.
It all started years [...]

Infidelitiy and carbon offsets - any difference?

I have just discovered the “Cheatneutral” website and this really made my day. Of course it is a joke! Excerpts:
What is Cheat Offsetting?
When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere.
Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises [...]
