On Sunday-the S.O. and I went to the Stuttgart Spring Festival in Bad Cannstaat. ( Where the Porsche company is headquartered). Took the train which thus allowed the consumption of mass quantities of German Beer. What’s not to like about that? On the way there, we first stopped in Stuttgart

Is that group of increasingly reprehensible bloggers who make up the "professional right wing blogosphere". (Membership names listed below).
