Ready to rumble?

Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare your video tape recorders. Tonight unbelievable live standup comedy is broadcasted by ORF 1 at 22:30 PM. In detail, Mr. Hojac (=Westenthaler) will fight the Battle of Words (gestures, obscenities and lies) against Mr. "HC-Man" Strache. BZÖ against FPÖ. Orange against blue. Right wing against extreme right wing. Former party colleagues against each other. Who still cares about Tyson against Foreman, Celtic against Rangers, Yankees against Red Sox?





HC-Man. Almost as legendary as Superman






Normally I'm not that very actively interested in politics, but bizarre encounters like these have to be watched and discussed later on. The upcoming vote on the 1st of October will not be a revolution within Austrian politics, if you ask me today. SPÖ will rally behind ÖVP, the Greens will be 3rd and will go to opposition again, FPÖ manages to reach the 5%-hurdle and the BZÖ will be left out of the parliament. Another big coalition again, Schüssel will be chancellor for another four years. So why should we be voting that day anyway? I don't really know.

At least I know what I will be doing that afternoon - preparing myself to endure the torments and tortures caused by the BSE-arena in Wals-Siezenheim. The cans against my SV Ried. Another hard battle. Considering my opinion, the more interesting that day. At least, the result will be as clear and obvious as the other one. Unfortunately.






Panic at the disco...
