Delaware goes Tea Party
Das kleine Delaware hat Christine O'Donnell für den Senat gewählt. Die ultra rechte Tea Party Kandidatin wird dafür sorgen, dass die Republikaner im Senat nicht die Mehrheit haben werden. Süddeutsche

USA als Weltmacht am Ende ?
Vielleicht ist die amerikanische Hegemonie schon bald am Ende. Die USA scheint offensichtlich kein Geld mehr zu haben um ihre internationalen Kriege zu führen. Außerdem akzeptiert die Bevölkerung immer weniger die Waffengänge im Ausland - ähnlich wie in Europa. FAZ
Aus meiner Sicht gehört die Zukunft China und Schwellenländern wie z.B. Brasilien. Nordamerika und Westeuropa scheinen an einer Art "Wohlstandsbegrenzung" hängen geblieben zu sein, wo keine realen Werte mehr sondern nur noch virtuelle Werte erzeugt werden, die besonders blasenanfällig zu sein scheinen.

UN Telephone Survey
Last month a worldwide telephone survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world ?"
The survey was a huge failure because of the following:
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
And finally, Britain and Australia both hung up because they couldn't understand an Indian accent!
