“Airport Striptease”, SPON, Oct 24, 2008:
German Ministers have voiced outrage at European Union plans to adopt controversial full-body scanners, joining a chorus of criticism of the so-called “strip scanners” which aim to deter highjackers.
Berlin is not amused. Plans by the European Union to introduce full-body scanners at airports are going a step too far, government [...]

This is so funny, that MUST be a joke: Remember the Irish having said NO to EU? And now guess who is being blamed? US military and secret service circles! Don`t believe me?
Read yourself in Financial Times Deutschland, Sep 25, 2008: „Irlands Nein-Kampagne - USA sollen EU-Vertrag sabotiert haben“ von Wolfgang Proissl (Brüssel):
Hochrangige Europapolitiker [...]
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 [...]
200.000 people showed up for Obama`s speech in Berlin.
In his July 24, 2008, radioshow Mark Levin wonders:
How did they get 200.000 people there?
What did Obama and his people do?
First of all, it was choreographed, they had rock bands there before the speech, beer and bratwurst. Did you know that?
Rock bands, beer and bratwurst.
Now, if you [...]
Sixty years ago, in June of 1948, the Western Allied Forces responded to the blockade of the three Western zones of Berlin with the Airlift. During the following months, American, British and French aircraft brought millions of tons of freight on hundreds of thousands of flights to West Berlin. The US Air Force took the [...]
On Monday Michael Ballack lifted Germany to quarterfinals by firing a powerful shot (121 km/h!) into the Austrian goal. And this very moment he has scored against Portugal which means Germany is now leading 3:1. Wow! I admit I would not have expected this.
30 minutes later: We won 3:2! Semifinals we are coming :-)
My timing for Euro 2008 has been really bad: One day before kick-off I fell sick. So I missed the first match which must have been incredible: Polish-born Lukas Podolski scored two goals against Poland. On the other hand, I am glad I did not see much of the second match because the German team`s [...]
I am getting ready for the Euro 2008. I am glad to have kept all my fan articles from World Cup 2006: T-Shirts, Caps, Flags, … and I got a new one: It is a small fan (black, red and gold) and when you switch it on, you do not only get cold air, but [...]
We Germans may have a lot of anti-American prejudices, but we love using Anglicisms. “Public Viewing” is one of them, and now that the Euro 2008 ( = European Soccer Championship 2008) is approaching a very important one. Maybe I should rather say a Pseudo-Anglicism. Because when we use it we do not think of [...]
