Ja klar, there's a lot of satisfaction to be gained from the re-installment of Bush and the advent of Berluskoni and Murkle. Something the Lafontaines, Nadirs and Bertinottis of this worls can be really proud of.

:-) take it easy, just like Gustav Heinemann did - someone you seem to appreciate. Heinemanns and Brandts SPD were electable, but there was no way any true democratic socialist (read the party plattform of the SPD [Berliner Programm] for what I mean) could give this SPD his/her vote. I am sorry: Hartz IV, Otto Schily.... look where HArtz himself ended up: in a courtroom.

gotta go to bielefeld now...if it exists.

It is perfectly okay for my prudish leftist friends to remain political virgins. They don't want to get hurt? Fine. Real Realpolitik is bad? Bene.

It's ok to cry.

Ritter, I somehow fail to reconcile this defense of 'realist politics' with your earlier denouncement of Realo Greens :-)
