„Viele Männer scheitern an den hohen Tönen der gängigen Kirchenlieder. Die Protestanten reagieren – und bringen speziell für die Bundeswehr ein neues Gesangbuch heraus. Mit tiefer gesetzten Melodien.“
auf Grund einer grossen sozialistischen Verschwörungeiner Korruptionsaffäre musste Liam Fox als Verteidigungsminister im Oktober 2011 seinen Posten verlassen … offenbar haben sich seitdem bei ihm die sozio-ökonomischen Wahrnehmungsstörungen verstärkt:
„The great socialist coup of the last decade was making wealth an embarrassment. It is not. It is the prize for aspiration and hard work, and its side effects are higher tax revenues, more jobs and more investment.“
Wahrscheinlich freut Fox sich auch auf das Remake von Die Rote Flut und hält das Ganze für einen Dokumentarfilm:
„Say what you will about John Milius’s 1980s rightwing cold war flag-waver Red Dawn, at least it had the courage of its convictions. The new remake – released three years after completion, thanks to the MGM bankruptcy restructuring – can’t even decide who its real enemies are. When it wrapped, the invading superpower was still Red China; in the interim, some wise suit remembered the billion-plus Chinese moviegoing market and decreed that the enemy should henceforth be North Korea, a black hole for Hollywood releases. Cue some retroactive digital adjustments – commie signage, uniforms, etc – a new opening voiceover, a couple of reshoots and, voila! – a new enemy. The late Kim Jong-il, a budding auteur himself, would have been charmed by the attention.
He might also have wondered, just as I did, what the hell was going on. After the sky fills with paratroopers one bright morning, we never really learn why this one Pacific north-west town is under siege. Is there a wider zone of occupation? Do the Koreans have allies? Or is Spokane, Washington, really all they can manage?“

„Der scheidende Papst Benedikt XVI. hat offenkundig genug von den kalten Böen, die ihm ständig die Soutane aufwirbelten, den äußerst lästigen Benedetto-Chören und den ständigen Mikrophonrückkopplungen. Der Vorsteher der meistgehassten und meistverfolgten Religionsgruppe der Welt hat kaum seinen Rücktritt angekündigt, da erhebt sich im deutschen Blätterwald und den nie fehlenden Umfragen die fast einhellige Forderung nach Reformen, nach einem neuen aggiornamento an den postmodernen Zeitgeist, nach einer Vertiefung der Ökumene, nach weiblichen Priestern, schwulen Ehepaaren und selbstverständlich nach einem nichtweißen Kirchenoberhaupt, sprich: nach einem Obama-Papst, einem Krankenhausclown mit großem Latinum.“

gefunden auf LiveScience durch Archaeology Magazine, neue Forschungsergebnisse werfen enthüllen, als was antike Autoren, welche der in aller Regel der herrschenden Klasse Roms angehörten, die Armen ansahen: als Hirse fressende Tiere:
„There were also differences among people living within Rome. Individuals buried in the mausoleum at Casa Bertone (a relatively high-class spot, at least for commoners), ate less millet than those buried in the simple cemetery surrounding Casa Bertone’s mausoleum. Meanwhile, those buried in the farther-flung Castellaccio Europarco cemetery ate more millet than anyone at Casa Bertone, suggesting they were less well-off than those living closer to or within the city walls.
Historical texts dismiss millet as animal feed or a famine food, Killgrove said, but the researcher’s findings suggest that plenty of ordinary Romans depended on the easy-to-grow grain. One man, whose isotope ratios showed him to be a major millet consumer, was likely an immigrant, later research revealed. He may have been a recent arrival to Rome when he died, carrying the signs of his country diet with him. Or perhaps he kept eating the food he was used to, even after arriving in the city.“

Another hiccup for Mayan doomsday believers: Although many scholars agree that Dec. 21 is the proper date on our calendar matching the end of the 13th b’ak’tun, there is some uncertainty over this, because some Mayan calendar units may have clicked over at sunset and others at sunrise. Some researchers have suggested that Dec. 23 or 24 may be a more accurate fit, Witschey said. Either way, however, the Maya would not have been running for their doomsday bunkers.
„You’ll get up in the morning and go forward, and the Maya cycles will have clicked over another day,“ Witschey said.
„As predicted by the Mayans? Actually, as predicted by absolutely no Mayan prophecies ever, but by quite a few very silly people who aren’t aware that when a calendar comes to an end – even an ancient Mayan one – you just need to pop out and buy a new calendar.“
offenbar hat der britische Gewerkschaftsdachverband TUC gemerkt, dass er einen Griff ins Klo gemacht hat und die Stellenausschreibung zurück gezogen, der Guardian berichtet:
„The Trades Union Congress has scrapped the search for a deputy general secretary, after a controversial start when the organisation demanded a candidate with a university degree.
The umbrella organisation for six million trade unionists was criticised by members, and the reference to a degree was removed following protests from some members of the executive committee, who include union general secretaries and officials.
However, in a „shot across the bows“ of the TUC leadership, the committee has now decided to replace the post with an assistant general secretary role.
According to an internal TUC document, seen by the Guardian: „It is proposed that the current vacant post of deputy general secretary be replaced by a new post of assistant general secretary. The new post would be similar, but „without an explicit role in deputising for the general secretary“. The move came during a week of changes in the upper echelons of the trade union movement, with the head of Unite, Len McCluskey, announcing that he will stand for re-election next year despite promising in 2010 to seek one term only. His counterpart at the GMB, Paul Kenny, announced that he will step down next year.
Sources close to the TUC process said senior union figures were concerned that the TUC’s general secretary-designate, Frances O’Grady, would effectively be choosing her own successor if she presided over the selection of a new deputy. O’Grady is deputy to the current general secretary, Brendan Barber, who was also deputy to his predecessor, John Monks.
According to a union source, the internal furore over the call for a deputy with a university degree stoked concerns among TUC affiliates about a lack of on-the-ground industrial experience at the TUC – such as handling disputes and organising in workplaces. „The job spec ruffled a lot of feathers,“ said the source, adding that the executive committee decision to scrap the post was a „shot across the bows“. The source said: „This is the logical conclusion to a build-up of tension that has centred on the TUC’s own perception of what the organisation should be like, and the different perception of some of its member unions.“
Another source said there had been disquiet over the TUC’s stance during last year’s public sector pension dispute, when the organisation agreed to re-enter talks with the government soon after a mass strike on 30 November.“
„The team excavated a two metres by two metres mud-plaster domed structure, which it says was used as a kiln to dry malt and make beer 3,500 years ago.
Beers of different flavours would have been brewed from malted barley and fermented with yeasts with an alcoholic content of around 5 per cent.
The yeast would have either been wild or produced from fruit such as grape or fig, according to the researchers.“
