Don't the Czechs also still maintain that Atta met with representatives of Saddam's regime in Prague?
Never mind that they observed the whole thing -- the liberal media has decided that it didn't occur. The same thing with glocal warming. The liberal media has decided that it's man-made and that's that, so Klaus must just be insane, right?
The President of the Czech Republic sounds like a reasonable guy.
Actually, there is no such thing as a "dognut" other than that attached to male dogs - the proper spelling for the food is "donut". :)
Other than that, your breakfast of choice sounds delicious.
yup, and if climate change doesn't work, they'll try something else..maybe a dual attack..global warming durin the summer when it's hot and climate change durin the winter when everyone is freezin..
It's more beautiful than ever now, as are surrounding areas. The clean-up continues, and as more old buildings are repaired, this little jewel sparkles ever more. I just returned yesterday from my latest visit with my Czech family ( and spent 3 hours on JFK's tarmac last night - Oh joy!).
One of our local friends remarked that the town squares throughout the Czech lands have probably never looked better. Over the centuries, homes were occupied by families and businesses, going through their normal cycles of wear and repair. At any given moment, some percentage of homes in an area would be occupied by elderly folks or those who had fallen on hard times. Those homes might not be in top condition. However, during the socialist era, all the properties declined, resulting in the dreary state of ill repair some of us remember. The result of nearly 20 years of freedom is that the most visible of these properties have been repaired and spruced up. The town squares are full of centuries-old homes and business in various shades of pink, yellow, tan, black/white, green, blue, etc. Some of them remind me of a wedding cake, with all the soft pretty colors and trimmings. Great place to visit; lovely people (of course I'm biased!).
Then 400 people started calling them dognuts. Then on our day off, we would go to a bar (which is really a restaurant in Spain). "Cafe con leche una dognut, por favor." We said that in English, pastries are called dognuts. So, eventually, Spanish restaurants had dognuts on their breakfast menu. Botine's in Madrid had them on their menu. For a week. They eventually found out guys from Torrejon Air Base pulled off a prank, and those people looked at us somewhat funny when we stopped by again:) Amairicans!
That's the history of 'dognuts'.
That's a good story. Thanks for sharing ...
After that one, the Spanish people kept a sharp eye on the USAF guys for pranks. They are not stupid people. I knew about a plan to get unauthorized Spanish women running around the place. I distanced myself from that idea very fast. Those guys got kicked out fast.
There are logical limits to how stupid you can get.
A man who is on to the global waring scam..
Algore, the bloviating spewer of hot gas into the atmosphere, is a lunatic who wants to be the leader of a new false relidious cult.
Manbearpig is real! LOL
