What great days those were.

One of my favorite movies of all time, about those days, Goodbye, Lenin!

“Two years later the Berlin Wall came down – on November 9, 1989.”

The end of an era.

September 11th 2001 was the beginning of another era.

Later in the day, some 7,000 white balloons – perched on 3.6-metre poles to match the height of the wall and stretching for 15km (nine miles) – will be released to symbolise its disappearance.

What an absolutely brilliant artistic expression.

Inside story on the "Wall" falling.

I was in the Air National Guard at the time and a DSG (drill status guardsmen). In October of '89 we were called to our HQ at Ft Sam Houston to work an exercise (Gallant Eagle) and the scenario was the Berlin Wall had fell...and we were exercising the Soviet response. Being the weather guy...it was a challenge as we were forecasting for forces in Europe and Alaska...a big variety.

I remember thinking the whole time: What a stupid scenario....like the Berlin Wall is ever gonna fall.

Well...I'm sitting in my apartment at Texas A&M....on this day 25 years ago...and they break into a Night Court re-run to inform me that the Berlin Wall had fallen.

Twenty-five years ago today Liberals cried as they realized their dream of global workers’ paradise was not going to happen. Since then they have been doing their best to resurrect their dream.

In 1969, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In ran a "news" segment. In one segment of news "20 years from now", which ran this very week in 1969, they reported that the Berlin Wall had come down. All of them were surprised when it actually came down, right on schedule.
