Check out this great new blog: Misunderestimated Germans.
This is an excerpt of one of their recent posts:
"Saddam "Tookie" Hussein
Breaking News: Saddam Hussein is to write a children’s book to escape his execution!
This book will be distributed to Iraqi schools, some of Saddam’s attorneys told the Middle East correspondents of Misunderestimated Germans. They also disclosed a sample of themes:
- Jihad isn’t cool!
- What would Jesus do?
- How I ever secretly loved the Kurds
- Israel rulez!
- God bless America!
- Grandpa Saddam’s allotment garden
- My best friend George
- How to have a shave without getting decapitated
What do you think? Has Saddam changed his life and mind?"

Ya know, I just shook my head when I saw the front page of the Sueddeutsche Zeiting on Wednesday with the headline, "Stanley Williams hingerichtet [executed]".
You mean to tell me that a newspaper out of Munich is soooooo concerned about an execution in California so as to make front-page headlines? C'mon!

@Motorhead: I guess you don't know SDZ. It's just a leftie propaganda sheet masquerading as a normal newspaper. Oh wait... normal newspapers in Germany ARE leftie propaganda sheets. Even the Rheinpfalz has been unbearable recently (CIA, el Masri, Tookie, US wiretaps.... WHAT other news?).
