Wow, ridiculous. Germans need to get over themselves and quit the PC crap. Koehler said nothing wrong.

I guess we can expect the US stock market to fall on Tuesday. While this really has no bearing on US securities, tie it in with the crap in Israel, along with the lack of success of plugging the oil leak and the ceased drilling, my bet is that people will panic and sell off. Looks like a buying opportunity. :lol:

Like most germans, he felt his job was taking time away from time at the nudist camp and snickering at Africans so when the oppurtunity to quit came up he took it.

Under German law, he gets full pay and will recieve a the dollar value of yearly accrued vacation time, which in Germany amounts to 200 days + free testicle piercing.

Sounds to me like he wanted to give a big "fuck you" to idiots who purposely misconstrued a comment with an obvious meaning.
