In a rare fit of soundness of mind, the notoriously leftist "Spiegel" managed to publish an editorial condemning the German government for its malicious callousness.

What a refreshing sight.

When the going gets tough-the tough get going. Our fair weather friends and leeches around the world know who the tough are.

This is the best media I've read in a long time--and to think it came from Germany!

If Bush had only listened to Uncle Trittin and signed the Kyoto Protocol, then this never would have happened. Bullshit. Trittin's article is a slap in the face to all the victims.

Wow. be careful, this guy could join my must read columns with straight talk reminiscent of Honore.

Three years ago, just before the US election, former Minister of Justice Hertha Däubler Gmelin compared US President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler. This time, with German elections looming, the environment minister is using a natural catastrophe as an excuse to once again campaign with subtle anti-Americanism and to unabashedly pat himself on the back.

Jig's up for Scheoder. The germans are wise to what he did to win office last time. It will not work again. They won't sacrifice their needs again to indulge in anti-Americanism.

It's not the American people's fault that the storm hit and they couldn't have stopped it. The Germans, on the other hand, could have done a lot to prevent World War II. And yet, care packages still rained down from US troops. Trittin's know-it-all stance is therefore not only tasteless, it is also historically blind.

Okay, I love him. :-)

Actually der Spiegel has been producing some very good columns the last year.
