2 small planes collide over Holland, become connected.
Funny thing. It's election time in Holland and the planes are from two opposing political parties. The Socialist Party (SP) and the Christian Democrats (CDA)

Taxi Driver with a Laugh Track
funnier than most sitcoms
A very, very narrow garage. But this is still awesome
ah! For all that are interested I proudly present:
Got to put the bike outside, or else i can't drive inside
My car is 1,49 meters (4 feet and 10.6614173228347 inches )
1,49 is the width of my car
The garage is 1,55 wide
That means I have 6 cm left. 3 cm on each side.
I put up this sponge(?) so I won't crash into the wall
because I have so little space, that is why I did it.
I can't drive against the wall can I?
That is why I put it there, and on the other side
I'm going to put the car inside.
---parking the car---
Now I just have to open this door to open the door of the car.
Now I just drive backwards and I can get out.
Turn off the engine, and get out.
Push the car forwards, and I'm inside.
Close the car door, than the other door.
And then I put two chairs in front of it.
Just put two chairs in front of it and my house is all cleaned up.
Look at it!
Voila!
Geert Wilders brilliant speech
good analysis...
here is a selection of statements he made and for which he is currently being prosecuted:
Fitna(film)
"The Islam wants to conquer, subjugate and destroy our civilization. In 1945 Nazism was conquered, in 1989 Communism, and now we most conquer the Islamic ideology"
The movie show images of a future Holland as a Islamic country. A postcard of The Netherlands which s only shows minarets, a violent decapitation and images of terrorist attacks.
Volkskrant, 08-08-2007
"The root of the problem is the fascistic Islam, the sick ideology of Allah en Mohammad demonstrated in the Islamatic Mein Kampf: The Qur'an. The texts of the Qur'an leave little to the imagination."
as sanderbos said, referring to Mein Kampf is a big no-go in Western Europe.
"Ban that book (the Qur'an). Just like Mein Kampf!”
It is still illegal to sell Mein Kampf in the Netherlands. You are allowed to own it and trade it but not to buy it however.
De Pers, 13-02-2007
"Enough is enough. Close the borders, no more Muslims for the Netherlands, export as many as possible. Take away the Dutch passport of Muslim criminals"
Volkskrant, 07-09-2006
"Close the borders for non-western immigrants'
“We have to stop the tsunami of Muslims. It is a matter that touches our heart.”
>> ^sanderbos:
Well rougy,
Dutch 'liberal' here, not a Wilders fan.
The court case is completely ridiculous, of course he should be able to say what he wants, especially since he is a politician and has to be able to express things even if they defy laws (since politicians define laws), and because he represents a large constituency of Dutch voters (8 percent in last election, could be up to 30% according to some polls).
However, this speech, man he or his (famous) lawyer seemed to have cobbled together all divine phrases of free speech and wrapped them together in a nice little presentation. Anybody can put together a speech like this ("wasn't it Voltaire who said 'as much as I despise your opinion, I will defend your ability to speak it'" is a staple of such speeches, and no it wasn't Voltaire).
You must understand that Wilders' other thoughts include a tax of say (pinky to mouth) a thousand dollars per hijab (islam head scarf) to fix the economic crisis.
The situation on free speech in the Netherlands is super unclear. Because we are such a liberal free country, nobody really bothered/ bothers to ensure those rights are also legally documented. So on some fronts the freedoms of speech are very limited if prosecution occurs (almost yearly people are put in prison over making pretty tame references to the queen, giving somebody the finger is technically an offense).
In this particular case, the Dutch DOJ first decided not to sue, then some hippy who can't deal with anybody not agreeing him (Rene Danen) forces the DOJ to reconsider, if you read the verdict of that case you can see it is all about Nazi Germany references, a big no-no in the Netherlands (Wilders compares the Quran to Mein Kampf, as in both books that cause people to do bad things).
Anyway, this is just part of the whole Wilders big clown extravanganza show that is going on for years now. He is just making outregeous claims and getting in trouble everywhere to drum up support (actually I am most impressed by the way he does these things, as he does really little press or other public things yet gets the press to talk about him constantly). I think it is unclear what will happen if he gets into power (which probably won't happen all too soon, in part because of him the Dutch political landscape is superfragmented now, any coalition created in the next four years will be crazy enough without him in it).

Every American car that is, some European cars where good, well better, comparatively, at least they didn't drive like an leaking oil tanker on stilts with a drunk captain and an insane helmsman.
