MAINZ, Germany -- The Pirate Party boarded another ship this week, so to speak, as the upstarts' voyage into German politics startled mainstream rivals.
Their treasure? Nearly 8 percent of the votes in a local election in the country's most populous state and their fourth consecutive entry into a German local state parliament.
"We have written history today, now it is time to party, politics should be fun," said Michele Marsching, head of the local state chapter in Northrhein-Westphalia.
The Pirate Party has based its political agenda mainly on Internet freedom and political transparency. It promotes what it calls "liquid feedback," which involves members making suggestions online. They are discussed in chat rooms before entering the party's internal policy-making process.

Vulgarity is like art - everybody thinks they know what it is, yet nobody can agree on what it is.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...no matter how off-base it is.

We were tired of searching for quality TCU products, so we decided to create place where fans like us could get these products, so The Varsity Ð Fort Worth was born.
