Der Spiegel is reporting that the Russian banking sector is about to break free of Putin's bandage and start bleeding. Remember what happened after the 1998 Russian financial crisis? In the US, it was not fun and games.
Elsewhere in Der Spiegel, Austria is tipsy, not because of Schnapps, but because that countries banks are deeply exposed to high-risk loans in Eastern Europe.
And in Strasbourg, home of NATO and a bunch of EU offices, things have turned black and white. Well, there are a few rainbow flames too. Basically the city of Strasbourg is on fire. Given the kidnappings of factory managers, the riots in London, the riots in Strasbourg, can't we label the EU as a haven for terrorists?
Elsewhere, the German head of French firm Total says we are running out of oil. Of course, the French hate freedom so much they don't want to be free from oil.
And the Germans said "Nein!!!" to Monsanto. Genetically-modified korn is now illegal in Germany. At the same time, they have said "Jawohl!!!" to no-clothing-not-optional hotels.
BTW, Spain is faltering. Maybe that is why they ran to charge Gonzales, Yoo, Bybee, and other Bushies - in order to generate some good news.
Did I mention that the country of Greece is facing bankruptcy? What about the global food crisis?
Where is Superman when you need him?
