All of this is followed by filing – most German apartments have at least one bookcase filled with binders, each binder filled with hundreds of documents documenting everything. Each one of those documents has […] Warning for Chimney Sweep visit on Friday, September 7, posted on Tuesday, September 4th. If I had a fireplace, I’d only have four days notice that the chimney sweep was coming to do his (her) regular maintenance. It’s little things like this that make life in Germany a wee bit difficult: I’m not […] For about as long as I can remember, going back to Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s, the Republican Party in the United States has tended to espouse three core beliefs: First, the United States has high taxes and these high taxes hurt the economy because they discourage rich people from investing in […] Wednesday night I had the pleasure of joining the Irish Berliner and Snooker in Berlin for a poetry reading at the Irish Embassy.

Until the debate appeared I never really thought about the word before, and so I found myself consulting the dictionary to find the exact definition of misogynist – which, as an adjective, means “reflecting or inspired by hatred of women”.
