Yup, freezing cold here. Minus 10 this morning, minus 5 now and lots of snow!
Surprise, surprise! Even global warming activists seem to admit it. Some of them had to queue outside the conference center in Copenhagen. And what did they do? Hold up signs saying: “We are freezing!”
The irony is priceless.
Found on the “Axis [...]
Germans don`t have a sense of humour? Have a look at this poster and never say that again - at least when talking about Christian Conservatives ;-)
I love this poster! Vera Lengsfeld is battling for the parliamentary seat of a left-wing district of Berlin in the September 27 poll and she is a member of [...]
Tonight on German TV (SWR) the reason why I started line dancing. A very sweet comedy called “Welcome to Westerwald!”. And not at all anti-American! I watched it last year when my best friend was on his way to Iraq. I was worried, and watching this comedy lifted my spirits. Real life had a happy [...]
Exit polls show CDU with 38,2 %, SPD 21,4 %, The Greens 12 %, FDP 10,6 %, the LEFT 7,1 %. I am glad to see that CDU and FDP won so many votes (apparently the SPD election spot that said: “Financial sharks would vote for FDP” did not work), but that the Greens won [...]
I can`t help it, but whenever I see the pictures of the American cemetery in Colleville sur Mer, tears start running down my cheeks. Thinking of the immense courage of the soldiers fighting there, of the many who made the ultimate sacrifice to liberate Europe from the Nazis. I am lacking the words to express [...]
When I heard these news on the radio yesterday night, it really made me happy: My former French teacher, 77-years old Marianne P. who was kidnapped by Al Qaida back in January this year, is free at last! This comes like a belated Easter present. And I would not even be surprised if she was [...]
This is so funny! Did she really say that?
House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Feb, 4, 2009):
I really think that if we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don’t think we can go fast enough to stop that. The President asked for action, swift and bold. That is [...]
President Obama wants to extend his hand, German Foreign Minister Steinmeier says that a “window of history” is open and Vice President Biden is in Munich to build bridges … and what does Iran do? Spoil the big Munich appeasement party by defending holocaust denial!
“Iranischer Vertreter verteidigt Leugnung des Holocaust”, tagesschau.de, 6.2.2009:
Der iranische Parlamentspräsident Ali [...]
Soeben den ersten Teil des ZDF-Dreiteilers “Die Wölfe” gesehen und total begeistert. Wer es verpasst hat, kann sowohl den gesamten ersten Teil auf der zdf-Website anschauen, als auch eine Kurzversion von ca. 10 Minuten. Ich freue mich jedenfalls schon auf Teil 2 und 3!
“Nicht einmal die Mauer kann sie trennen” von Jochen Hieber, faz, 29. [...]
If you are looking for intellectual entertainment – this is not the right movie. If you just wanna have fun, it is. At least I had a lot of fun watching “Don`t mess with the Zohan” last weekend.
The comedy is about:
The Zohan (Adam Sandler), the finest counterterrorist agent the Israeli army has. That is, [...]
