Re: NRW Elections Diary (4.00 / 3)

This is going to be interesting indeed. Last night's microphone-shmoozing yielded a lot of remarks about "stability" and "keeping extremists out". (At least, these were two keywords that jumped out at me.)

The Left in NRW is still an untried quantity. Three weeks before the election the Left in Fail City had to swallow 56 resignations - all persons with migration background. (Though I have know idea whether this reflects the state of the party or just the usual Fail City way of doing things).

"Fail City" (none / 1)

How did Köln acquire that charming moniker anyway?

Re: "Fail City" (4.00 / 3)

To date this is only this blogger's opinion, but:

History Buried in the Rubble: Cologne Archive Building Collapses - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

The building housing Cologne's municipal archive collapsed on Tuesday, bringing parts of some surrounding structures down with it. At least two people are missing. Some of the documents housed in the archive date back to the year 922.

Need I say more? (I could though, believe me...)
