Yes, we are all Americans |
|||
Dear Titanic-readers I sit alone here in my office between my dictionary and my handbook "A BASEBALL-STAR IN 30 MINUTES" and I write to you this editorial. First secretary Mrs. Staniewski is just painting 16 more stars on the Starspangled Banner in our kitchen and the sofa-cushions (painting, because I didn't know the English word for "etwas aufsticken" when I gave the orders; but there is no difference to see for the human eye, I swear to you!) and my other people are all in English-courses or at McDonald, to meet some friends and get fat. First there was this big shock, you know, when we were sitting in front of our TV and saw the terrible, unbelievable pictures again and again (TV is getting mad: summer holidays are over and nevertheless there are these boring repetitions continually!) - the disgusting pictures of Mr. Gerhard Schröder and Mr. Peter Struck from the SPD who told us, that we are all Americans now… Oops, my gun fell from the table, but nothing happened (nothing that some of my good $$$ could not make forgotten). |

So, and now it is time for everyone to get up and do what he can do for his (new) nation. Some have to exercise our new national anthem (the TITANIC-editors), some have to bomb a few countries (the government) and some have to write letters to the pettifogging lawyers, who sue us yesterday for the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 (me).
God bless you,
sincerly yours Martin Sonneborn |
