YEAH! I am so happy! Congratulations to Thomas Schaaf (coach) and the whole team!
You may not be familiar with Volker Pispers, but I’d like to introduce him to you. He is a German “comedian”.
But the word “comedian” doesn’t really fit the description. What he does is political satire and comedy, often in a very sarcastic and ironic way. In German we have the word “Kabaret” or better “politisches Kabaret” for this (so he is called a “Kabarettist”), but in English the word cabaret has a very different notion.
The English (or French) connotation of the word “cabaret” is more like this:
But what I mean is this:
His program about the USA is quite old (like 2004 or 2005 or something), but nevertheless it is still pretty good. And here are the remaining 5 parts:
June 7th 2009 is the official election day for the European Parliament election 2009 in Germany.
Today I got my personal documents for a postal vote.
I already announced that I will vote for the German Pirate party. It’s a quite young and new political party which origins in the Swedish Pirate Party founded in 2006. These parties (which are founded all around the world) have a common goal: to strengthen the privacy rights for all individuals, to prohibit censorship, to prevent Orwell-like totalitarian governments and states and so forth.
Here is the current TV campaign advertising for the German party:
Parteien zur Europawahl 2009: PIRATEN
I personally think this TV spot is not that good, but keep in mind it’s a young party and therefore they don’t have any public funding yet.
Nevertheless, I’ll support them. And if it’s just to protest against censorship and stupidity and the transition towards a surveillance society.

And of course it’s a protest vote against the old (maybe archaic and fossil, too) established parties. Their TV campaigns and political programs didn’t really convince me. At all.
So, if you live in the European Union, go and vote! Voice your opinion by your vote. Change the system. Or just grab a gun and go crazy monkey shit on your peers, you know, American style. 
Das hier erklärt einiges:
Das Erfrischungsgetränk “Red Bull Cola” darf in Hessen nicht mehr verkauft werden. Grund seien Spuren von Kokain, sagte ein Sprecher des Umweltministeriums hr-online. Der Hersteller sieht das anders.
Hessen sei vom Bund über ein entsprechendes Analyse-Ergebnis aus Nordrhein-Westfalen unterrichtet worden [...]
Das Mix-Getränk sei nicht verunreinigt. Vielmehr handele es sich um Teile der Rezeptur. Darum habe es auch keine Warnung, sondern eine geordnete Rückrufaktion gegeben. Das Getränke müsse aber aus den Regalen genommen werden. [...]
Die Analyse hatte das nordrhein-westfälische Landesinstitut für Gesundheit und Arbeit im Rahmen eines Gutachtens zu dem Getränk erstellt. [...]

Vor allem aber erklärt es, warum gestern im lokalen Kaiser’s ganz hektisch alle Red Bull Cola-Dosen aussortiert wurden. Und ich dachte, die wären einfach nur über das Verfallsdatum…
I just stumpled upon this nice video. It’s about the recent tendency in German politics to form the 4th Reicha new totalitarian police state.
Everybody is now a terrorist. Yeah. That includes YOU, too. Ätschibätsch.
You are a Terrorist! A Campaign against Terrorists.
United for a safer Germany. The Campaign „Du bist Deutschland“ (You are Germany) in 2005 was the beginning of a wave of positive spirit in the whole country. This combined energy has turned backwards in 2009, because now you are a potencial Terrorist and you have to be watched closely.
