Gunter Grass wants to see nuclear striptease in the Middle East

German poet Gunter Grass feels the world in danger and wrote a poem that asks both Israel and Iran to drop their pants and let themselves be inspected by nuclear urologists. The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu didn’t like to see the two countries treated equally and pointed to the small swastika tattooed on Grass, which he showed to the world when he dropped his pants in 2006. We share the concerns of Grass, but we understand Netanyahu: When you lower your pants to show your arming, at the same time you’re exposing your back, which can be dangerous when you have a neighbor who has been taking Viagra for years  to screw you.

For those who don't know, Germany has a president and he’s called Joachim Gauck

Nobody knew that Germany had a president until Christian Wulff was caught up in a corruption scandal. This office is so discreet in this country, due to having few powers assigned to it, that Wulff thought no one would notice. But he had bad luck and was forced to resign, and Joachim Gauck is now the man who has the task of convincing people of his own existence. His references are so positive that we ourselves are not convinced that he really exists or whether he was invented.
