- Den adelige ungarer II disse dage for nøjagtig 50 år siden udspandt der sig nogle rørende scener i et hjørne af Københavns hovedbanegaard. Cirka 40 små "wienerbørn" skulle rejse hjem til Østrig efter at have været på "stabiliserings- og opfedningsophold" hos danske familier. Een af disse var blogejerens. Wienerbørn Danmark, der havde været neutralt under 1 […]
- Knapt så populær ...Det er den tidligere britiske premierminister, Tony Blair, der har vist sig at være knapt så populær som han selv og muligvis andre troede, han var. Han har ladet skrive en selvbiografi, "The Journey", som udkom i forrige uge. I forbindelse med udgivelsen har der været arrangeret en del møder med publikum for at gøre […]

- Sjove nyheder fra højreAt vi i Danmark har fået et nyt parti ? "Værn om Danmark" ? har ikke ligefrem fyldt meget i nyhederne den sidste uges tid. ...og hvorfor har det så ikke det? Mon ikke det har noget med hele seriøsiteten og projektets fremtidsmuligheder at gøre? Ser man lidt nærmere på partiet, så er det stiftet af to meget underlige personligheder på den ekstreme h […]

- Forbrugerfordummelse"Så længe et barn kører med støttehjul på cyklen, lærer det aldrig at holde balancen. Derfor tager forældrene på et tidspunkt støttehjulene af, selvom det resulterer i, at barnet får nogle skrammer og blå mærker. På Christiansborg er man - desværre - i gang med den modsatte øvelse," skriver Mie Harder (K) i Berlingske Tidende. […]
- De fattige kommer til at betale for Belgiens opløsningIndrømmet - overskriften, der stammer fra Politiken, er syg - men den er interessant, fordi den er symptomatisk for venstrefløjens forkvaklede billede af virkeligheden. De fattige valloner i Sydbelgien kommer ikke til at betale noget som helst, hvis Belgien opløses, men flamlænderne i nord slipper for at betale for at betale til de fattige... […]
- Et valg mellem socialdemokrater og ultrasocialdemokraterLEDER: Indtil for nylig stod kampen i dansk politik mellem oppositionen, der ville hæve skatten, og regeringen, der ville fastholde skatten på samme niveau med et skattestop. I dag vil regeringen imidlertid også hæve skatten. Oppositionen adskiller sig kun ved at ville hæve skatten endnu mere.Finansminister Claus Hjort Frederiksen kan af... […]

Der er ikke noget at sige til det morads vi er endt i når vi på den måde har skaltet og valtet med noget af det dyrebareste vi har; den danske indfødsret:"...Politiet kunne ikke fastslå hans identitet, og så fik han opholdstilladelse på ubegrænset tid i 1993. I 2001 fik han dansk indfødsret." [...] "...i... […]
- Danske virksomheder og velhavende privatpersoner har sendt over 1000 mia. kr. til 55 skattely-lande- Det her kan blive Danmarks største skattesag nogensinde.

- From Jew’s-Sow to Muslim-Pigs: A Medieval Meme from Hitler to the IslamophobesMuslim-bashers like to style themselves as “defenders of Western civilization.” Like all effective lies, there’s a certain grain of truth to their assertion. They do not stand in the Western traditions that support reason, liberty and tolerance. They do, however, recycle themes and motifs that have appeared in previous waves of fear against “witches,” J […]

- One woman's nightmare, and a crime against humanityCall her Hanan. She sits in front of me, a red scarf tied round her long intelligent face, her wide, bright eyes sparkling as she tells her story, her two-year-old son Omar restless on the chair beside her. To save the "honour" of her family – and to avoid being killed by her youngest brother – she has married her own rapist. To save the "ho […]
- The crimewave that shames the worldIt is a tragedy, a horror, a crime against humanity. The details of the murders – of the women beheaded, burned to death, stoned to death, stabbed, electrocuted, strangled and buried alive for the "honour" of their families – are as barbaric as they are shameful. Many women's groups in the Middle East and South-west Asia suspect the victims […]

- Mad Men Bores MeIf you’ve never watched the show, then never mind this review. To the rest of you I submit that Mad Men is one fraud of a series—pretentious and empty. The first season fascinated me. Behind everything I saw and heard there seemed to be coming together the pieces of some very clever machinery of narration—tension […]

- Talking about direct talks: Netanyahu returns to the White HouseUS president Barack Obama will use a White House meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push for an extended West Bank settlement freeze. If Netanyahu doesn't offer one - and the domestic politics are quite difficult for him - it's hard to see any possibility of direct talks with the Palestinian Authority later this year. […]
