Mein fraulein! May I haff zis dance? Ya?

This week’s Golden Fleece Award, presented, with an ill-fitting pair of leiderhosen, goes to our pals at the National Endowment for Humanities, who tossed $180,000 of your bucks to Moravian College (PA) to speed 25 K-12 teachers on their way to Germany and points beyond for a four week workshop on “Johann Sebastian Bach: Music of the Baroque and Enlightenment.”

Der vas lectures in der mornink und dancink in der evenink – because dancing is “essential to understanding much of Bach’s music.”

According to one lucky participant, “We finally found a bar that was great – big screen…and beer.”

Oh, and did we mention that they got to watch the World Cup Final on your nickel? Gott in Himmel!
