I quite agree, but it is an unfortunate fact that the death of no other Austrian politician would be reported across the world. I am getting really worried about the rise of Fascism across Europe - in Britain, we are in danger of seeing the first Nazi Member of Parliament ever at the next elections.

A footnote: according to the last report I heard, he was driving at twice the speed limit when he crashed. I find it typical that he died breaking the law.

Weltuntergang? That does seem decidedly over-melodramatic for someone like that...

Well, the Weltuntergangs-guy is someone from his party and a friend and was crying in front of the tv camera... the rest is bad enough, though.
