Nuremberg - A worldwide scarcity of malt and hops means price rises are on the way for German beer, both in Germany and in its principal export market, Italy, a national breweries leader warned Tuesday.
In all, about 15 per cent of German-brewed beer is drunk abroad, with export growth partly making up for declining sales in Germany.

The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.

There is snow - and it’s not the kind favored by some family members of various politicians - in the current weather forecast for Southern California. And I sense the genius of eeevil Karl Rove behind this, just to embarrass the Leftisphere.
The reference ColoDem makes to “subscribing” is an effort to further massage the ego of little Kommandante Markos. He’s put together a three-year re-education program for future members of the Kooky Kult of Koslam’s Ministry of Propaganda. Apparently, the idea is to sucker his psychophants into financing it, rather than continue forking over some of his profits - profits generated by the volunteer efforts of the proletariat.
In a classic example of self-gratification, the little kommandante put some braggadocio on display.
Some people had questions about the subscription drive. Here’s some answers:Q: Should we be worried about the financial health of the site?
No. The site operates at very healthy profit margins. That’s why I’ve been able to fund five fellows out of my own pocket, with real salaries, not the crap many in the progressive movement get. If the site faced a serious funding shortfall, “laying off” the fellows would be a first line of defense. But that’s not even a concern at this point.
[…]
Q. How much do fellows get paid?
I respect the privacy of the fellows, so I won’t share that information except to say that it’s very competitive with the private sector, or way, way better than what is typical in the non-profit sector. I will also say that this year, I will spend over $300,000 of site revenues supporting the program. Without getting into the specific of site revenues, let me just say that this is the largest, by far, line item on my budget. And I am committed to maintaining at least that much next year.
$300,000/6=$50,000. How’s that for respecting their privacy?

A Native American gaming tribe in California is hosting a presidential forum for Democrat Party candidates this afternoon.
S-o-o-o-o, the Magic Negro and Senator Thunderthighs (Shrew-NY), well, they can’t be bothered, just like a few others. “Scheduling conflicts,” you see.
How does the Democrat Party save some face when the heavy-hitters, along with most of the lightweight no-names, have no time for the little people?
Send in the poster child for people-powered politics, the original darling and first successful national candidate of the reality-based nutroots community!
Howard Dean to appear at Morongo presidential forum Former Vermont governor and one-time presidential candidate Howard Dean will join American Indian leaders for a historic presidential forum for democratic candidates today at the Morongo Band of Mission Indians Casino Resort and Spa in Cabazon.
The event, which will feature three of the eight Democratic presidential candidates — New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel — is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. at the tribal conference center.
All three substantially trail Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the front-runner in the race for the Democratic nomination, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., second in the polls.
Dean also will attend today’s event and host a reception for tribal leaders following the forum.
Many of the democratic frontrunners declined to attend the forum because of scheduling conflicts, according to organizer Kalyn Free, a Choctaw from Oklahoma, who said Indian country was still “excited” about the event.
Be sure and stay excited. When it’s convenient for them, you-know-who will stop by just long enough to grab a few bags of “love gifts”. Just make sure that they’re stuffed full, then bend over and kiss your ass good-bye because that is the only concern for Native Americans — your money into their pockets.
