How many times now?
They’ve been European Championship champions for five years in a row now. They’ve won 35 consecutive Euro matches in the process.
And if you look hard enough, you might even find a few people (men people?) here in Germany who actually care.
“We played well in patches but credit to Germany, they were very clinical.”
Will the weakest link soon become the missing one?
“With the jihadi chatter against Berlin intensifying less than three weeks before general elections, the fear is that Islamists bent on driving NATO forces out of Afghanistan will attack the supposedly weakest link in the chain of Western nations.”
“Skepticism about the deployment runs deep within Germany’s Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens, and calls for a reduction in German troop levels could increase if these parties join the Left in opposition after the election, as some polls suggest.”
“This is in retaliation for Germany always pointing the finger at other nations.”
Tell me what to do, oh Wahl-O-Mat…
Normally quick to panic and even hyperventilate when anything even remotely suggesting mind control is placed in their midst (at least when it is perceived to have come from you-know-where), Germans everywhere are getting all warm and fuzzy this election year about a nifty new online device which will actually tell them who and what to vote for.
That’s right; the Wahl-O-Mat is not evil because it comes from here. And the general election is coming up and, well, like last-minute Christmas shopping, it’s time to rush out there and get an opinion already. And there’s an English version too, thank goodness. So let’s get started, now.

“The advert was trying to show the ugliness of the illness, not of aids victims.”
Mud is thicker than blood
“Clearly, for the Obama administration, pushing the reset button on Russia did not include dumping a major GM asset to suit a German grand coalition notion for pocketing election campaign fillips for ‘saving’ Opel from GM with investment money from ‘strategic partners’ Moscow.
As scrupulously as the administration in Washington has said nothing about it, an American official, who asked that his name not be used, told me, ‘I think in general we’ve come to the point where the Germans feel they can take the United States for granted and do.’”
“Priorities are as clear as mud in Germany.”
Bad Germans
I thought only Americans did this kind of thing. Now it’s your turn to apologize to the world for defending your own troops – and yourselves.
„Friday’s airstrike was called in by a German commander after Taliban rebels hijacked two fuel tankers.“
“The German commander ordered the airstrike after seeing live footage of the tankers, with people around them, beamed from US aircraft in the skies above Kunduz.”
“The Germans, who also spoke to an informant at the scene, decided the people were militants.”
“Auch international steht die Bundesregierung nach dem verheerenden Luftangriff in der Kritik.”
