Quote of the Day

Self-aggrandising quote of the day from Ottmar Hoerl. Hoerl has got himself into trouble after one of his gnomes - doing a Nazi salute - was put in a public gallery and thus fell foul of the harsh anti-Nazi laws in Germany:

"With my gnomes I'm highlighting the danger of political opportunism and right-wing ideology."

Really? Are you? Maybe I'm missing something, but when I look at those gnomes, I just see... well, a garden gnome doing a Hitler salute. Not perhaps worth a criminal investigation, but I also don't quite see these gnomes as strident alarm ringing out against the twin "evils" identified by Hoerl...
