"sitting on the dock of the bay, not getting called..." (g) what's going on in Germany right now - Bundestag is taking holidays, "but we'll clean up the mess when we're back". The subsidies, ie finance support from the state pork barrel, amount to 57.8 B€. Everybody is involved: farmers get their diesel subsidized, the nurses their night shift extras, commuters (hey that's me) for their commuting, first-time home owners ... the possibilities are infinite, to quote a commercial. So of course NIMBY reigns supreme... Another story: war on terror - we've been hit with idiom on such a regular basis and for so long, the irony just had no time to kick in: what about war on Kalashnikows. Or "Patton scored a victory in the war on blitzkrieg". The world should be fighting the terrorists, not the terror. News in Gitmo: things started to move... There's an old sad bitter proverb in Balkans, based on experience in Ottoman empire: Kadi indicts and Kadi sentences. In Gitmo Kadi does defence as well. Quite an improvement - on Ottoman empire I mean. And it's not Kadi, it's Paul Wolfowitz. what else - (over)heard some critical rumbling from China, regarding ideas about future expansions of maglev. Whatever, just dont forget that Hermes rules supreme (g). RegZ from Munich dj
