Tecumseh said...: Populist commentator Franz Josef Wagner wrote an open letter in Bild, the country's largest tabloid, to Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble: "It's your job, dear Interior Minister, to make us understand there is a new cause of death: terrorism. It's your job to shake us awake."

Hey, man, how about cutting on your daily dose on schnapps&ouzo? Why wait for the Nanny State to wake you up?; 9/08/2006 12:15 AM
Mr roT said...: Notice 'Populist commentator'. Does that mean 'racist rabble-rouser' to the uni-berlin.de crowd?; 9/08/2006 12:22 AM
Tecumseh said...: Hadn't thought of that, but yes, come to think of it, "populist" is a rather derogatory term to the Brie&Chablis--Cambridge--Berkeley set...; 9/08/2006 12:40 AM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Germany didn't think it was a high-profile terrorism target until television screens showed two men, dressed in dark pants and light shirts, wheeling suitcase bombs across train platforms here. The explosives didn't detonate, but the case has led to debates over security measures and fears that militant cells may be scattered across the country.

Where's our author to say this is all a fabrication of the German psyche?; 9/08/2006 8:51 AM
Mr roT said...: You mean a sociolinguistic construct. Forget grad school, MFT.; 9/08/2006 8:57 AM
My Frontier Thesis said...: JJ:

Minor clarification: I was referring to a post some days or a week ago that told of a literary figure in Germany who unsuprisingly said 9/11 was fabricated by America, or the American Government. I can't remember his name which, I suppose, tells you how important he is to me.

And sociolinguistic constructs are sociolinguistic constructs.; 9/08/2006 12:00 PM

Mr roT said...: Was your character the great charaterless tin drum of vacuity, Guenther Grass or have I been smoking too much?; 9/08/2006 12:17 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Off hand I cannot remember the name or locate the post. I think AI brought it to the blog.; 9/08/2006 3:10 PM
Tecumseh said...: Here is the post in question. That fabled Lefty commentator goes by the portentous name of Scholl-Latour. How could anyone ever forget it??; 9/08/2006 5:14 PM
Mr roT said...: Ugh that guy. Only the Germans can make those. Like Porsches, but much worse.; 9/08/2006 9:00 PM
Tecumseh said...: Hey, man, if Porsches are so bad, why did Janis Joplin sing,

Oh lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime with no help from my friends, so lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Mercy dese beans, she meant.; 9/08/2006 10:05 PM
Mr roT said...: She couldn't get that fat arse of hers into a Porsche?; 9/08/2006 10:43 PM
