#1 It is not so hard to for someone to change their outside appearance. What will really count is what they have on the inside, for example, the discipline to show up to work everyday and make themselves useful to an employer.

#2 And his makeover seems to have worked. Beck plans to present Frank with several job offers next week from construction, house painting and cleaning companies.

#4 wearing grubby clothes, a pair of nose rings and a thatch of partially bleached, punk-inspired hair. The 37-year-old, who has been without work for six years,

#5 Beck was accused by some of attempting to shift responsibility for the country's jobless rate from the government to the unemployed.

Where it rightly belongs, otherwise a shave, wash and a haircut later he'd still be unemployed.

#6 Beck was accused by some of attempting to shift responsibility for the country's jobless rate from the government to the unemployed. One Green Party member, Thea Dueckert, told the Die Welt newspaper that Beck was stigmatizing the jobless.

No future in the American Democratic Party for Kurt Beck. He might as well stay in Germany.

#9 One of my favorite web sites, "Observing Herman" has a great send-up on this story (links include before/after photo of the unemployed guy). Good snark.

Excerpt

The three weeks arent even up yet and now it looks as if the poor devil will actually have to go back to work. Politically correct-minded individuals everywhere were thoroughly shocked and dismayed at Becks elitist and highly naïve suggestion and are now calling for more effective legislation against such horrid compulsory labor methods as these.
