Joined:Wack OffI am actually quite relieved that I only got 40% right in the above referenced round of Name That Nutjob. Any more and I'd be worried that I was too capable of relating to either one of them. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's. - Anonymous (not verified)
Joined:Children of a certain age...Lilly. Sad to say they grow up in spurts. Very hard to follow a lot of Euro-news over here except the BBC (besides digging on the internet for who knows what could be the truth). I got a kick out of the labels they were tagging on him though... Cut'n'Paste Von Zuttenberg & Google VonZuttenberg! Don't even know if I have the name right. - TigerLilly
Joined:I care ALOT about politics, GonzoSunday Brunch conversation with my daughter (13): "Mama I am angry that zu Guttenberg seems to think he can cheat and the lie, and get away with it just because he is nobility and Minister of Defense. It is disgusting that he would say that copying 100 pages was a mistake-does he think non-nobles are stupid, or what? And how can so many people be morons and still accept that he represents Germany to the world?" (referring to the current German scandal where the Minister of Defense plagerized a good 100 pages of a newspaper article in his doctorate thesis) Perhaps children should run the world :-D ********************************** I am not young enough to know everything.

Joined:The rich win again in WisconsinI know there are few who care for serious politics on this site. I uneertsand, this is really mostly about the good times we all had. But this latest current event of banning collective bargaining (except for the unions that voted for the Guv. of Wis) that happened in the statehouse in Madison has rankled me and fired me up. It has set up the kindling for the ignition of the class war - which some believe has already started. Good thing I'm nonviolent. I'm thinking about carrrying around a hammer and doing a number on obscenely rich cars that have conservative political bumperstickers like "So,How's That Hope & Change Thing Going For You?" Time to for a glass of wine to wash down a few more valium. Stop being sheep! Fight the Power!!! I'm filled with more and more loathing for people who choose to stay uninformed, or informed, do nothing.
