Achoo! I found the original article at RP-Online: Science.
So really, a chancellor is already finished when he has to blackmail his own party to push through his ideas against the base.
Which raises the question of what should actually determine a party's culture: clinging to the power of the chancellor and his direct supporters, or the opinion and wishes of the base. Yes, I know the chancellor's answer to that. On this point, he's no different from his portly predecessor ...
But if you want to experience something truly undemocratic, you just have to look at the internal structures of unions or parties.

Great. So it's supposedly untenable for unions to strike against companies where they have seats on the supervisory board? And workers' representatives certainly shouldn't be allowed to sit in the personnel committee that sets executive salaries, because otherwise the executives might get the impression they are dependent on the unions? What do you actually call this form of loss of reality that Mr. Rogowski is suffering from?
The constant attempts and initiatives to dismantle every workers' representation and workers' protection that has been fought for over many years is now really audacious. Sure, entrepreneurs smell opportunity when even an SPD government starts talking against unions and thinks it has to attack every form of social security.
We really are not heading into good times.

So if Kirch took advice from Kohl on the subject of sitting things out, then Kirch could certainly see why that wasn't the right strategy...
Well, Theo Waigel (also called "Das Brauen"), Wolfgang Bötsch and Rupert Scholz were also involved. It's somehow strange how a company can go bankrupt with such competent advice. Oh, wait, I forgot, the same team had previously mismanaged the FRG, so maybe it is explainable after all.

I uploaded a stack of images (though they haven't been accessible since 2007 because I destroyed the domain), which I took in Hamburg with the RTS III and the 2.8/180 I picked up that day. A truly magnificent lens - nicely compact for its aperture and really excellent in optical performance. And I like the focal length too.
(Sorry to Safari users, the link could send your Safari into the desert - no idea what's broken there) Why cool? Well, what would you say about a bat that catches fish at night using radar guidance or trawl net technique? Yes, you read that right, fish.
With the first technique, the bat dives down real eagle-fisher style at its prey, with the second it drags its claws through the water and fishes for fish. The catch is put straight into its mouth while flying and then eaten head-down while hanging at rest.
And it looks cute too
I find it quite interesting in general how differently the British and Americans are acting in Iraq. Yesterday on the night news, a journalist said he had the impression that the Americans are simply overwhelmed by the task of taking on police functions in addition to security duties. In a way, it's quite perverse: one has no problem destroying everything, but when it comes to securing and enforcing what is constantly talked about in the US administration, they are overwhelmed.
The statements from Rumsfeld on this are extremely interesting: essentially, he said that such things happen, that people who are free are also free to commit stupidities and crimes. Well, great. Wonderful attitude.
I much prefer the British approach, which at least tries to contain part of the chaos they have brought upon the people in Basra, instead of talking nonsense about how it's all just fine ...
Postscript: on http://lies.com/ someone posted some excerpts from and comments on Rumsfeld's briefing. And the Guardian also has an article about it.

Jutta has created a channel on http://topicexchange.com/ where you can send a ping when you write an article about a new blog. It would certainly be nice if the usual suspects now update their software and send trackback pings to it.
The channel can be pinged at http://topicexchange.com/t/blogs_deutsch/ with trackback. Users of the Python Desktop Server only need to enable the channel in the settings under the Topics page. If you want to subscribe to the channel in your aggregator, you can do so using the address http://topicexchange.com/t/blogs_deutsch/rss.
Seth Gordon provides an answer in which he draws connections between the original hypertext vision of Tim Berners-Lee (from his previous work on hypertext) with the Web and shows where Trackback fits into Tim Berners-Lee's ideas. Interesting, brief and concise, with a few aspects illustrated with Perl code.
May I use that as an excuse now?

Not such a bad idea, simply synchronizing the home directory via CVS to a server and then updating from mobile devices.
And another thing: the Zaurus stores quite a lot as XML - you can use that wonderfully with CVS. And that would give you an exchange option for calendars and similar things with desktop tools. And via transconnect I could also synchronize that with the computer at the office.

Found at Shock Wave Rider: an article in the Guardian about the quiet (or not quite so quiet) advance of creationists and other distortions of science in America. The new tactic is to attack weak points in established theories and through the back door open the same to absurd theories. It's shocking that such things actually find resonance in the scientific community and in education, and are even partially supported by law...
Hands up, who believed that with the third millennium perhaps a time of reason could dawn? Fooled.

Getting off to a good start. Now it'll really be exciting to see how he positions himself in the Tour. Of course, he certainly won't have a chance against Armstrong this year, but it'll be interesting to see how he compares with other top riders (who would that be this year? Beloki again?).

Come on, Seehofer, stop the nonsense. Stop giving the Union any advice - eventually they'll listen to you and then things will get uncomfortable for us. After all - thanks to the SPD's relative incompetence - the even greater incompetence of the Union leadership is our only hope of still being spared a new Union government.

That's exactly what I thought when I first heard his absurd prediction that Apple would switch to Intel processors within 2 years at the latest. Ok, now he's going even further and claiming that Apple will go bankrupt if they don't implement his great plan. Seems a bit confused in the head, this so-called tech journalist.
Although his great predictions and ideas contain a lot of errors: for example, his claim that with the x86 version of OS X all the Linux people could port their software. Has this nincompoop never heard of Fink or GNU-Darwin or similar projects that already allow porting Unix software to regular PPC Macs today?

I found the empty spaces fascinating too - it would really be amusing if the Americans had gone to all that trouble and effort (and deaths) to take an empty palace. What would they have to do for an occupied palace?

Well, in the case of Al-Jazeera's presence, one can almost assume it was intentional. In the first Gulf War they already tried something similar. The press is inconvenient, especially when it doesn't report what the war effort would like to see reported ...

Astonishing. 2.3 million US dollars to a Canadian war opponent for improving his operating system. Probably only worked because Rumsfeld didn't catch wind of it, otherwise he would have sent the Marines immediately.

And the war of the Americans against their allies continues. Interesting in this regard are also figures I found at [[ t e c h n o c u l t u r e ]][0]: in the first Gulf War, 53 of the 146 killed Americans were killed by the Americans themselves. And the Americans killed more British soldiers than the Iraqis did in the same conflict.

I'm passing along the tip about the Monitor report on Bush and religion. The report was really very interesting. Though the connections between Moon and the Bush administration (and Bush family!) are also quite noteworthy - apparently all a tangled mix of pseudo-religion, apocalyptic fantasies, and good old megalomania.
Jutta has written a few articles on the Moon sect and its connections to the Bush administration: What does the Bush family have to do with the Moon sect? and Bush appoints Josette Shiner as deputy in US foreign trade office. And then there's the strange circumstance that a very large part of the Bush administration is connected to the oil or chemical industry. At Der Rollberg you can find the original article.
An interesting article by George Lakoff about the metaphors that define this Gulf War and how these metaphors shape the depiction of the war. Language has great power. Or as George puts it: Metaphors can kill. Here you can find the original article.
The article essentially says everything that needs to be said. But as long as there are politicians who don't blame the warring parties for the outbreak of a war, but instead blame those who protested against the war and refused to participate in it, we will continue to live with diminishments and downplayings of murder and manslaughter in our language.
