Ladies & Gentlemen,
when you see the following figure, then you do not think necessarily in Frankfurt am Main, but rather to the wintry Alps in Switzerland.
was in fact this postcard motif, which is so beautiful that it seems almost kitschy, a few days in my garden in Frankfurt. - Yes, I am honestly excited about White Christmas 2010!
And what about you? Christmas well spent? All the loved ones healthy and no dispute in the family? - Very good! Because you know, divorce lawyers, especially after Christmas boom .-
Just now I saw on TV in the serious news channel n-tv (the news anchor inside the channel a terrible dialect * speak) Mr. Obama, accompanied by his charming wife in his hometown of Honolulu. Great!
The President's visit in the short-sleeved shirt, a military installation. In the military canteen had a small Christmas party took place and affable, welcomed the President were many hands with soldiers dressed in camouflage uniform and heavy boots, 'Look, I'm one of you' - so friendly to the U.S. President's Christmas message. Touching!
What surprised me this: Why is this ridiculous show of the Tarn-soldiers? About Taliban hiding in secret behind the lush American Buffet? Or even dangerous relatives of Saddam Hussein in U.S. military canteen were introduced? Do the soldiers hunting terrorists in Hawaii? Therefore, my humble advice: In Waikiki Beach would be the spotted camouflage too conspicuous. But in swimsuit and dashing through a colorful surfboard American soldiers evil terrorists could not equal better take down!
What annoyed me though: Why is the friendly, cheerful President of the United States celebrated Christmas together with soldiers of all? For example, why not the circle clever lithographer (my profession)? Why not first-class eye doctors or about taxi drivers? Why do not engineers earned the solar industry? Why the hell are with soldiers in uniform who do nothing else than their job? -
quite clear: It is the bad conscience! You send people to their deaths by remote control, although one does not like to fight: If the Men unprotected Ex-President Bush or Obama by law at the front on site would even fight, the two American senseless wars, which would have cost countless human lives and billions of dollars swallowed up to one day end! It is my firm conviction and any reasonable thinking person - of course except the defense lobby - probably share this view. --- Finally
will tell you I like, for whatever reason, I "It's Christmas Time In The City" as the blog title selected: In the song "Silver Bells" the brilliant Elvis Presley appears on this text. - My daughter Julia gave me for Christmas a little Snowman as a computer driver. This cute snowman is now supplying the music and I still hear the Elvis song and that with growing pleasure. --- Peter Bröll
* TV speakers from n-tv instead say "Ore" ---> "Eeeerzgebörge" :-))
