English Bobbies in Germany
Picture courtesy of Washington Post.I love the sight of English Bobbies in Germany. They are unique. If one is used to the by and large (not always) unhelpful, lazy and rude attitude of the German police, they are bliss.

The Lord Is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Der Herr ist mein Hirte, mir wird nichts mangeln.
Er weidet mich auf einer grünen Aue und führet mich zum frischen Wasser.
Er erquicket meine Seele und führet mich auf rechter Strasse um seines Namens Willen.
Und ob ich schon wanderte im finsteren Tal, fürchte ich kein Unglück; denn du bist bei mir dein Stecken und Stab trösten mich.
Du bereitest mir einen Tisch im Angesicht meiner Feinde. Du salbest mein Haupt mit Öl und schenkest mir voll ein.
Gutes und Barmherzigkeit werden mir folgen mein Leben lang, und ich werde bleiben im Hause des Herrn immerdar.

No, this is NOT Gitmo!
Picture: Oliver Lang, DDP
These are not Taliban terrorists on their way to Gitmo, these are two German heavies who mugged a German man of Ethiopian ethinicity outside a disco during a drunken fight, which they didn't start, on their way to the Federal Prosecutor's premises accompanied by German police.

Three Cheers to God's Rottweiler!
ROME, May 19 — The Vatican cautiously acknowledged today long-standing allegations of sexual abuse by the founder of prominent Catholic community, asking him to give up his public ministry in favor of a quiet life of "prayer and penitence."
The announcement marked the first public action by Pope Benedict XVI on the sensitive issue of sexual abuse in the church. And it came against a priest with a particularly high profile: the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, 86, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, one of the fastest growing Catholic communities, praised often by Pope John Paul II.

The War God Won't Come Back Anymore!
November 12, 1973: General Ariel Sharon, Commander-In-Chief of Tsahal at the West Bank of the Suez Canal. Only treacherous American intervention could keep from victoriously parading through Cairo at the head of his tanks. His "Sharon Manoeuvre" is taught at war academies all over the world ever since.
He won't come back.
