7/19    Why is Bush groping the Chancellor of Germany? Did his wife
        stop putting out? Can't he find a chubby intern or something?
        http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/19/bushs_grope_blitzmas.html
        \_ Because he is an idiot.
        \_ ob because Condi didn't seem to mind!

11/8    Have you read how Bush says his pro-life stance was influenced
        by his mother keeping one of her miscarriages in a jar, and showing
        it to him?  These are headlines The Onion never dreamed of

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

        How did Hillary manage to do that when we're also asking China to
        concede on the economic front at the same time?
         \_ China doesn't want NK to implode. NK is a buffer between SK and
            China, or in other words a large buffer between a strong US ally and

        While I'm no fan of Condi's hawkish diplomacy, I've always admired
        people with multiple professional-level talents.

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.
           \_ He must be, given that he defeated the inventor of the Internet
              and AlGorithm.

Michael Shaughnessy says, I can only imagine what Chancellor Merkel was thinking and it can't be positive. While 'personal space' is less than what you have in the US, Germans still have social tabus on touching, especially in such a public forum as the G8 summit. Germans may be obsessed with shaking hands, but it is a very brief shake. Touching of this sort is for -very- close friends in private. At least this produced yet another cool German word: "Blitz-Massage." Bush "gropes" Germany's (female) chancellor Merkel Reader comment: Christoph Kesselmeier says, Hello from old Europe. As a German I must say that Bush meeting Merkel naked in the sauna would be inappropriate because of the lack of seriousness, but _way_ less offensive for her. He decides to cross her physical borders without asking for her consent or without being in a context that implies consent. However, this might be just one of the many cultural misunderstandings you get used to working internationally. Though - I never got a spontaneous massage by any business contact from US yet :-) Liz says, With regard to your posting at Boing Boing, isn't the legal term for what Bush did to the German Chancellor "assault & battery"? Although I do understand that those in power are above the law, I think it's always helpful to remember what they might be arrested for in a real democracy, don't you?
