Sweetheart stories: sweetener in his ears

Our country is in crisis.

No, much worse, it's in the "Kr!se", as the

newspaper writes, because a crisis with an exclamation mark looks a bit more dramatic, even if the word is harder to read.

boss Bo!e, sorry, Boie fills a front page with a manifesto in which he states, among other things, that

demands "that the crisis not be solved by paternalism of politicians ("Take a shorter shower! Lights off! No more cars! ").

If you turn the page,

presents a few everyday tips;

Point 8: "Take a shorter shower!"

headline reads

: “Rent, energy, inflation – YOU have to do this now!” Apparently, being patronized by

is not a problem at all.

It always depends on who says something.

For example Jürgen Drews, who has just announced his departure from the stage.

Colleague Mickie Krause, reports

, "should Jürgen Drews wish to be his successor as 'King of Mallorca'", and we ask ourselves: Can such a title be awarded just like that?

Shouldn't Drews adopt Krause first?

Or shouldn't the people decide, since monarchies are becoming increasingly unacceptable?

Whereby: In a plebiscite, Layla from the party hit of the same name would be named the new queen of Mallorca, and nobody can actually want that.

"Germany has no royals," we read in the editorial of

, "but it does have a stylish Minister of Finance who is marrying a pretty TV reporter."

That's why you have to unreservedly approve of an event like the Lindner wedding, as long as the couple is not based on Meghan and Harry, leaves the federal government and shoots dubious disclosure documentaries in LA.

And when we look again at all the photos in the colorful sheets, in which the guests on Sylt with blowing hair and fluttering ties defy the 16 degrees and the "strong North Sea wind"

, then we are no longer quite so sad, that we weren't invited.

Of course, he once again quotes Lindner's life motto "Problems are thorny opportunities", and he probably also viewed his wedding like this: A stiff breeze is a thorny calm.

President in the fighter jet

We can't share the excitement about Friedrich Merz, who flew his wife and himself to the island in a private plane, as he serves his core clientele who would hardly have appreciated arriving by cargo bike.

Merzen's appearance reminds us of the sci-fi classic "Independence Day", in which the American President personally climbs into the fighter jet and shoots down aliens.

A chancellor or at least an opposition leader with such qualities could still be worth a lot, especially in these times.

You get to know celebrities in the heights when

asks who has ever smoked a joint.

"Lion's Cave" investor Frank Thelen doesn't have that, but "eaten these biscuits before" and "would like to try magic mushrooms, they're supposed to be good".

When Vox is on the ball, the Lion's Opium Den (working title) spin-off will soon have Thelen cooking up nice mushroom pans and other things that the vendors say are good too.

Presenter Nina Moghaddam should not be a guest, because she last took drugs when she was 14, with her parents: "My father asked me if I would like to try it - I wanted to," she reports.

"I laughed for five minutes afterwards and fell asleep." The parents interpreted the maxim "Every child can learn to sleep" in a very idiosyncratic way.

Elon Musk is only 51 but already blessed with nine children.

.

Four offspring accompanied him to an audience with Pope Francis (85, no child).

"According to the Italian media, the men also spoke about the falling birth rates worldwide," writes

, fueling the suspicion that Musk believes he is on a divine mission.

This probably also explains why he suddenly no longer wants to buy Twitter: Nine little mouths want to be stuffed first.

David Hasselhoff tells the

about his Welsh wife Hayley that “I hardly understand a word of her English.

She talks that way mostly when she's angry with me.

The words just rain down on me – and I often don't know what she's saying." Then he just sits there, "listening to her and thinking: 'God, I love this woman!'

Especially when she says the German word 'Süßstoff', it hit me.

With that rolling accent.

Super sweet!"

Seems like good advice for quarrelsome couples: learn a foreign language your partner doesn't understand and swear to your heart's content.

You let off steam and the other person won't feel hurt.

And if you throw in the word "sweetener" every now and then in the rant, he'll be ecstatic.
