The news on this lucky date:
- Germany experiences ‘record’ 2.2% growth (BBC) — Well, that’s encouraging — assuming this has effect beyond Germany’s borders. If it doesn’t, perhaps we should relocate. Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
- Relief Well to Be Completed in Gulf (NYT) — Which will be a relief to us all.
- Most Americans Still Onboard With Afghan Plan (NPR) — Despite what you may have been hearing. And hearing. And hearing.
- Longshot US Senate candidate from SC indicted (WashPost) — Kinda surprising that they’re still paying attention, isn’t it? Well, all the national media still are…
- Fed’s Hoenig: Rates Need to Rise (WSJ) –He says this is because things are getting better (in spite of all that “the world’s ending again” stuff yesterday). But maybe the Fed is worried about deflation. Or something. Like I’m an economist or something.
- Maxine Waters speaks out against ethics charges (LAT) — Another slow news day, so more inside the Beltway buzz.

I bet if bars closed at 2 am, Alvin Greene would not have won the primary.
“Sprechen Sie Deutsch?” not “Sprechen sie deutsche?” The “Sie” has to be capitalized, likewise “Deutsch”. (I realize that the period comes before the quotation mark in English, but I’m writing in German right at that piont!)
er, excuse the misspelling! “Point,” of course!
Sorry, Herb. I copied and pasted it from somewhere else to make sure I didn’t misspell it, but failed to go back and fix the capitalization.
Ja, aber Brad, warum das “e”?
Even with a copy and paste job, there’s no final “e”–find a better translator source!
Sorry! Sheesh! I was in a hurry. It’s fixed…
This kept bugging me, if it is already out of date. I think the verb is wrong, it should be “Verstehen Sie Deutsch?” “Do you understand German?” I don’t think you’re asking if people speak German at a computer.
Ich weiss nicht, Herb.
