Go back to reading The Protocols of Elders of Zion.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

One of my favorite jokes is about the two poor Jewish farmers just growing enough to barely survive in their small shetl in czarist Poland.  One day the one goes over to the hut of second one and sees on the table "The Protocols of Elders of Zion" 

"What are you doing with that libelous filth in your house ?!?!?!?" asks the first Jew

"I like to read about how rich and powerful I am." answered the second.

Yes. She's my fiancee. We've met and I can attest to her being 100% woman, and a lovely woman at that.

For his next performance, scout26 mistakes jfruser for a blind, lesbian, left-handed dentist from Corsica with a speech impediment.

When in reality I am a Buddhist freestyle gigolo from Scranton, PA (just like Joe Biden).

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Europe just does not have those protections enshrined in law or tradition.

*ahem*! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkszählungsurteil (Sorry, only in German) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informational_self-determination . From the top of my head and the Metacrawler search-page
