On the absurd stance of American authorities regarding Bobby Fischer's violation of the trade embargo, one could actually only laugh if it weren't symptomatic of American administration. The mere idea that a chess game between two elderly grandmasters could violate a trade embargo is absurd. And pursuing one of the few great chess players the USA ever had with an arrest warrant is simply ridiculous. Fischer is himself a total idiot, but he doesn't deserve such treatment. At Telepolis News (18.07.2004) you can find the original article.
It was also a question for me: write in English or German? English would actually be preferred since more people can read it. On the other hand, I usually comment on German articles here - an English blog would be somehow a stylistic break. My old websites were mostly written in English (I won't link them here, whoever wants to can go on a treasure hunt for them). Newer ones mostly in German.
It's kind of funny - I keep hopping back and forth between the two languages. I can never really decide - the choice for new projects is usually rather arbitrary. But the Hugo stays in German. I still have the Timmy for English.

That's what he believes, at least if you can trust the article in Lancaster New Era. Next, he'll probably get bleeding holes in his hands?
I'll take two large, flat stones and a bag of gravel...
Here's the original article.
