News Roundup: Clouds, Eggs and Krauts.

-To continue slow loris' weather bitchin' from yesterday, I'm fucking sick of it. I want to wear skirts, thereby have a reason to shave my legs, not look on the ground so I can spot hazardous patches of frozen ice, not fall on my ass regardless and I want to go to the motherfucking beer garden!!! We are committed to continue bitching about the weather until it improves.

- Last year's egg incident apparently has Paroubek quite fussed, so he's having his underlings take pictures of people who look like they could start throwing eggs at him at ČSSD events.

-Road checks on Czechs (see what I did there) in Bavaria are staying, says this little gem of a politician. Günther Beckstein is one of the more contemporary reasons to feel ashamed of being German. He's about as eloquent as George Bush, opposes immigrants and anything that he thinks isn't native to Bavaria. So I ain't surprised, maybe slightly that he's still opening his trap after no longer being the Bavarian prime minister.

-Question: What do a bunch of German students do on a school trip to Prague?
Answer: Buy knifes, pepper spray and whatever else could fuck someone up.

-Staying with Germany, seems like the Hitler comparison (a relatively popular way to express that you REALLY disapprove of someone over in Krautland) has its followers in the Czech Republic, too. After transport union leader Jaromír Dušek homophobic statements had the whole nation tsk-tsking, Minister of Transport Gustav Slamečka chimed in, but he kicked it up a notch, accusing Dušek of Third Reich rhetoric. Ooopsie.
