[HeeBGBz]

[ffm172]

[leftofthedial]

4. just like the one Condi straps on when she and Georgie have their

special cabinet meetings, except gold.

[ffm172]

8. that is a very disturbing image

[TyeDye75]

Germany is harbouring weapons of mass destruction.

6. *grrrr* The Golden hat! It's from the bronze age...

It's extremely valuable. It had been announced that Laura Bush would visit the Gutenberg-Museum in Mainz... The Golden Hat is not usually in a Mainz museum. Nor would it just be standing around on a table with other stuff. Evidently they carried stuff from all over Germany to Mainz and stuffed it in one room so the dumbwit wife could have a three minute glance at some of our most treasured objects. The more I read about the "charm offensive" the more pissed I get!

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

10. Hey NewEurope

Did you read Spiegel's article on his visit yesterday? Just curious, as I saw the same phrase there (charm offensive) and wondered just how widespread it was!

[neweurope]

12. Yes, I read it... they're using "charm offensive" all over the place.

Mainly I think because the biggest news agencies are in US-hands and our papers just quickly translate/don't do much editing (costly). Which also makes for a big cultural influence of the US. :( That "charm offensive" has me near puking.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

14. It's a wizard's hat!

At least, that's the current theory: WIZARDS really did wear tall pointed hats - but not the crumpled cloth kind donned by such fictional characters as Harry Potter, Gandalf and Merlin.

The wizards of early Europe wore hats of gold intricately embellished with astrological symbols that helped them to predict the movement of the sun and stars.

This is the conclusion of German archaeologists and historians who claim to have solved the mystery behind a series of strange yet beautiful golden cone-shaped objects discovered at Bronze Age sites across Europe.

Truly fascinating. But this wonderful artifact seems a bit fragile to haul around Germany for Laura's pleasure.

[Kellanved]

15. it was a replica

The original stayed safe in Berlin.
eom

[rasputin1952]

19. Must have been some well off Wizards in Germany in the Old Days...

not to mention some w/exceptionally strong neck muscles. A Golden Hat would have been incredibly heavy,, and even if merely Gold Plated, would have been ridiculously awkward to say the least...:)

I wonder if those that research such things truly think about what they are looking at.

Caveat: I have no idea what it is myself, but a 'hat' would be far from my first impresson...:shrug:

[montana_hazeleyes]

7. Maybe it is a new

golden dunce cap for the dumbest little president** ever.

[RebelOne]

11. That was my first impression, also. n/t

[SoCalDem]

9. A new hat for Georgie

:)

[BiggJawn]

13. "Jenna's is bigger..."

"...Found it under her bed once when I was looking for drugs....No, I was out and wanted some..."

So if they go to Russia, is she going to be shown the Pickled Pecker of Rasputin?

[Atlas Mugged]

16. Rasputin's wang

Oh, you've seen it? I posted a link to it on DU and it was deleted almost instantly.

Truly, one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

[BiggJawn]

17. Yeah, I saw the picture...

Couldn't figure out if that was a look of revulsion or longing on the face of the young lady posing next to the bottle...

I've seen the autopsy report on John dillenger, too. "Nothing remarkable" is how the attending described his package....:-)

[WilliamPitt]

18. The look on her face is priceless

[all.of.me]

22. you took the words right out of my mouth....... n/t

[TheCentepedeShoes]

20. Looks like a giant screw

Just like what Bush*Co is doing to the good 'ole US of A.
