They should have been double bagging it anyway.Six different men won Internet auctions to have sex with the woman in April and May last year. They were only known to her by their online names, a spokesman for a court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart said Wednesday.
At least it wasn’t a Dutch auction, which goes to the lowest bid that the seller can tolerate.
"The woman wanted to discover which one of the men had made her pregnant," the spokesman said. "So she needed their contact details. Of course, if they're not willing to go along with the gene test, she'll have to take them to court."
Actually, this could prove to be an interesting social metric. Rising or falling prices can tell you just how bad these guys need to pay for it, and thus if their overall likability is becoming more or less desiccated in any given year. As for her, well... we can only see if she prices above or below average. Either way, in the lawsuit we see the politics of entitlement colliding into the flower of entitlement politics.

They Could Tell She was Getting into it when She Dropped Her Crisps
Bafflingly Poor Math for a Doctor
Kouchner is becoming quite a buffoon.French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner was in Gaza yesterday and made a total jerk of himself. Kouchner told reporters that Israel shouldn't inspect trucks from Gaza because 'not all of them are carrying bombs.'
Maybe they should stop scanning luggage at Charles De Gaulle too, since not all of the bags can’t contain bombs too.
So it’s no surprise that when the matter of a Kosovar declaration of independence came up, that the EUtopian complained that this decision ‘was not made in Europe’ and of being soundly ignored by none other than the Kosovars themselves. Kouchner himself was left with the only choice of ‘wishing them luck’, as if he really had to be heard on the matter.
Look, they’re either involved, or they aren’t. If they want to spend another three decades convincing themselves that they matter by triangulating and getting in the way of ‘the adults’, then so be it. They’ll be taken with all the due seriousness that it merits – which is to say the limited respect of nations who have to due to some limited economic dependence on them.
You can ignore them as readily as these flummoxed commenters, who don’t quite realize that if Castro’s regime melts down, the US will have to build a real elective democracy, and real health and education systems there, and make it safe for the pillow biters that Castro’s western fans think are uner the big tent, but fail to notice their repression in “socially just” Cuba.
After all, not all, but only some of them might be jailed for their views, beliefs, or lifestyle.

Their House is a Museum When People Come to See 'Em
They really are a scree-um...:Over the past decade, the region has pushed away more economic development than the average French region, and the trend is accelerating.
Not to be confused with that lucid “knowing better about things”, here we find a testimony to the idea of a mealy-mouthed formed of socialism which intends to equalize the appreciative masses – trading steady, equitable growth for, say, most of your liberties. Sure seems to be working wonders, eh?
No capital region in the world loses has lost jobs as Paris has. Blinded by its brilliant past, badly governed, fragmented in his selfishness, it’s anemic and failing to register strongly in the global competition of cities in the twenty-first century.The economic decline of Ile-de-France was expected to be the main topic of municipal elections next March. But "the elected officials in the region were all put in line," according to Lawrence Davezies.
Among the bobos, those privileged citizens of Paris, "they are happy that the mayor attends more to them than the health of the local economy." Read the list of "projects" of the candidates for mayor: kindergartens, cleaner busses and trains, getting exercise, safety… a quick approval process for a museum town.

Flaming Twisted Wreckage V5.0
Alluding to the S & M Club of traditional European notions of governance, one legislator from the former east of Germany reveals the pervasiveness of the programming of the age. It’s where lefty comes from.Politicians from across the political spectrum are demanding that Christel Wegner, a member of the German Communist Party -- but in parliament as an add-on to the Left Party list -- resign her newly won post. The reason? Just a few weeks into her job, she said on television that the dreaded East German secret police -- the Stasi -- was useful to protect the state from "reactionary forces" and that the Berlin Wall was built to keep West Germans out of East Germany.
But at least it was a society that would see to the peoples’ needs:"I think that when one builds a new societal form," she said in reference to the Stasi, "then one needs such an organ because one has to protect oneself from other forces, reactionary forces, that look for opportunities to weaken a state from the inside." She went on to say that "the construction of the Wall was, in any case, a measure taken to prevent West Germans from continuing to come into East Germany."
Of course these are the same people who try to convince you that AmeriKKa is an agent of state oppression, run by a shadow government and Dick Cheney, who on 9/11 flew all 4 planes himself, and, and, and, eats babies, and is out to take their oil, and, and, and...
If they really want the personal to be the political, is doesn’t boil down to much more that a desire to extending their loony and inhumane opinions on people who aren’t them. What people do in the privacy of their homes certainly isn’t anyone else’s business, unless, that is, they want a state apparatus holding them down and feeding them the delusion that this makes them ‘freer’ than the rest of humanity, and want the rest of us to share in their ‘fun’.

My generation, what we are sacrificing, we have seen the face of our enemy; we have been up close and personal…
"A man's war is like his mother; you don't talk about a man's war" says SSG David Bellavia at CPAC as the veteran explains the reasons why you would visit a place like Gettysburg…
Sophisticated Latino Outreach Campaign?
Is this what they mean by that Barack Obama's "vapid but resonant symbolism" that the equally vapid subculture of the left keep beating off about?
He’s a Wiz, I tell ya!
...and I mean that sarcastically. Der Speigel’s one and only Marc Pitzge along with back-up place kicker Gabor Steingart deserves some sort of award for the vapidness of these brilliant titles:
“A TITANIC MOOD IN THE CLINTON CAMP” and his running column on the democratic nomination race called with great originality: “WEST WING”. Ooh! Alert the media!
In other words, they, or whoever it is that edits their trash back in the heimat knows about as much about the US as someone living in Germany who loafs around watching too much TV. But there’s more! Not satisfied by merely beating off to the latest hate-filled Ted Rall comic? Just get a load (smirk!) of the brilliant insight in this sub-heading:
"Where's the Beef?"
I don’t know. Have you cleaned your ears lately? And the buffoons actually want us to believe that a few of the Americans in Berlin think they’re “in exile”. Look: the Burmese living in Berlin are in exile. The Kurds in Berlin USED to be in exile. Der Speigel’s hyperbole should be deported to someplace where they really aren’t capable of tolerance and learn better, like, say, in one part or another of the holy continent of Europe and all of it’s peevish preoccupations and obsessions. Such as they are.
Don’t Start Feeding the Squirrels
Via Rightgrrrl, we find Kate McMillan writing in Canada’s National Post wondering who we as a species learned to be such a bunch of pansies.
By "famine", I do not mean those 24-hour fruit-juice-sipping adventures in group narcissism devoted to curing the problems of that continent-wide parade of dysfunction known as "Africa." No, what I have in mind is a proper food shortage of the depth and duration that drives the creative homemaker to taste test the wallpaper glue, while contemplating which of the $3,000 Labradoodles goes first into the stew pot.
In the mean time, they might occasionally come up to find rolling papers and Doritos, but don’t bet on it, unless they major in do-gooderism something a beauty pageant contestant would say they want to do when they “grow up”.
"Dig deep, darling. The pup's at the bottom."
A taste of deprivation could restore the word "crisis" to its original definition, resurrect "endurance" and "stoicism" from the vocabulary dustbin, along with the long-lost distinction between "threat" and "nuisance."
It would push back the powerful "if it saves one child" lobby, along with their toboggan helmet police, school lunch analysts, anti-bullying program directors, and playground equipment removal teams. They'd be forced to shelve plans to open the family car to random search by health department inspectors with tobacco-detecting dogs. They'd return to tending their own needs and wants, instead of regulating away those of everyone else.
A half million 20-somethings would emerge from their parents' basements, if only to search for food.
Flaming Twisted Wreckage, V4.0
The social awards is for abundant fertility and record motherhood, worthy of a farm based fatherland. The citizens seem increasingly like the angriest sort of the southern republics. Maybe the fevered anger is about counter-revolutionaries sabotaging tractor production, and the great national rutabaga harvest.
No, it’s not the CCCP we’re talking about...
