Soccer Whores

Dude. Seriously. Gotta go to Germany.

Germany is "deploying an army of prostitutes to satisfy the needs of libidinous fans during the month-long 2006 World Cup."

Need I say more?

Yeah, true, but I will anyway. See, Germany is like Vegas. Whoring is legal. And with an expected 1 million tourists this summer for the Cup, Germany is "beefing up" its staff of "relaxation therapists."

"'Football and prostitution are a great match,' said Hans-Henning Schneidereit, owner of the St. Pauli's Safari Cabaret, renowned for its sex shows."

If you ask me (which no one did), I think it's a great idea. This way, instead of rioting and destroying half of ze fatherland, crazed fans can just go take their excess energy out at ze fuk haus. Man, Germany's so far ahead of us...

Think I'll try the shnitzel. Extra hollandaise. Or is it holandais? I can never remember.

So, the Dems are stabbing Feingold in the back. Now there's a big surprise.

For those of you who've been living under a rock, Feingold rocked the Senate recently by introducing a resolution to censure the president over his FISA-violating domestic wiretaps. Now, the last time this happened was in 1834, when the Senate got sick of Andrew Jackson's bullshit and censured him "for assuming power not conferred by the Constitution," according to the U.S. Senate's official website.

Hmmmm... Assuming power... not conferred... by the Constitution...

Who does that sound like? If ever there was a place for a liberal rant, this is it.

But since it's almost too easy, I'll defer to Doc. He's better at rants, anyway. If none of you have seen his blog, leftoutstanding.blogspot,com, you're missing out (though not by much; the lazy bastard hasn't put up anything in the past two weeks).

Here's a good story about how Hill Dems are not just not supporting Feingold's resolution, they're actually MAD at him for it:

And some more details from the BBC:

It's really a lot of shit. In short, there's no one, aside from Feingold, who's willing to risk his ass to stand up to shrub. What a bunch of pussies. Seriously. There are any number of issues they could take the bushies to task over, this being one of the easier ones, and what do they do? They fucking betray their own base.

Way to go, guys. No wonder the Dems can't get anything going.
