(PHOTO) Great pic of anti-* float from Carnival in Germany


Found at: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0208-10.htm

COLOGNE, Germany -- Hundreds of thousands of Germans, many dressed as jesters or fools, have flooded Rhineland streets for the traditional "Rose Monday" procession, the highlight of the Catholic carnival season.

In Cologne, where the biggest parade got underway at 11 minutes to 11:00, around 10,000 people and more than 120 marching bands were expected to make the traditional tour of Cologne's cathedral distributing sweets until evening.

2. But the Germans love us, don't they?
I mean, aren't they happy to have us freeing the world from tyranny?

9. Those days were much more fun
The Clinton float was more like poking fun at a friend. The Germans liked Bill, and they're not as prudish as Americans (the ones in the red states anyhow), so it isn't such an indictment. I think they too see the Bushit float as less amusing as it is too close to the truth.
