[Tax-chick]

Harper’s is really down on the Germans these days. I guess it’s a change from bashing the Irish!

If I were reading this commentary on, say, the CNN website, I would be asking myself, “What is the pro-Democrat purpose this article serves?”

Is there a similar interpretive filter to be applied to Harper’s? What political agenda is served by devoting so many column inches to Germans’ weekend habits?
