- Berliners welcome Obama as they did JFK
  Posted by Jeff from Christian Science Monitor
  The centerpiece of Barack Obama's overseas tour comes Thursday in Berlin when the Democratic presidential candidate gives the only public foreign policy speech of his trip to an Obama-mad crowd of Germans who see him as another John F. Kennedy. He's in a country and a continent making no secret it is ready for change.

- The Olympic torch's shadowy past: Nazi Germany
  Posted by Jeff from BBC News
  The idea of lighting the torch at the ancient Olympian site in Greece and then running it through different countries has much darker origins. It was invented in its modern form by the organisers of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. And it was planned with immense care by the Nazi leadership to project the image of the Third Reich as a modern, economically dynamic state with growing international influence.

- German Chancellor Merkel sides with Bush: US president repeats "Third World War" warning
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  Shortly before the arrival on Saturday of German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the president’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, George W. Bush declared, “We definitely need Germany’s help on issues like Iran.” He thus made it clear that the visit of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) chancellor, which came immediately after the Washington talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, should be seen in direct connection with US threats of war against Iran.

- Becoming A Vancouverite – Or Not?
  Posted by Orato
  After three years of living in Vancouver I feel mildly acclimatized. It is less of an effort to suppress my constant grumpiness and instead tell everyone that I’m feeling great. The traditional German grumpiness was, after all, one reason I left Germany. I do most of my thinking in English and my German vocabulary is dwindling, much to the horror of my family.

Why are American wannabe emperors campaigning outside of the U.S.? Bush did Mexico the last two rounds and Kerry did France. What gives? How is this legal?

Dude…a nested frame to see the background piece? Really?
