8/28    Why is it that Germans are dominating Yahoo's Oddly Enough section?
        Is this a conspiracy from the Jewish dominated Yahoo to get
        back at Germans? I've listed a few examples:

                   The thing "literally" stinking is the fungus.
                   \_ Why does no one in the CSUA have any sense of humour any
                      more?
                      \_ Because we're American, and have senses of "humor"?
        \_ It's a result of inbreeding.  --PM
           \_ Is John an example of inbreeding?
              \_ No, I'm an example of what the stud geniuses of this world
                 could be breeding if they weren't all at yermom's house.

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?

Reuters Mayor criticized for welcoming S&M festival Tue Aug 30,11:03 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin's mayor Klaus Wowereit on Tuesday fended off cr iticism for giving an official welcome to a sado-masochism festival expe cted to draw thousands of leather-clad visitors to the German capital th is weekend. Click Here "The first weekend in September stands for the pure zest for life," Wower eit wrote in a message of greeting in the official program of the Folsom -Europe Street Festival. Members of the conservative opposition Christian Democrats (CDU), and eve n political leaders from within Wowereit's own Social Democrat party (SP D), said Wowereit's public endorsement of the leather and fetish festiva l showed poor taste. They also questioned whether it was appropriate for the mayor of Germany' s largest city, who became a nationally known figure when he outed himse lf in 2001, to support the festival. He said Berlin was a tolerant city and open to the world. "No question about it, it is a glitzy scene but that is also part of Berl in," Wowereit told Bild newspaper. "And as long as they do not do anythi ng illegal, I expect people to be tolerant. "A greeting message is good advertising for Berlin, especially for intern ational visitors," added Wowereit, who is a regular visitor to Berlin's gay and lesbian Christopher Street Day parade. But anyone who has a problem with it doesn't have to go to the ( S&M) event."
