Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees that those wacky Germans are embroiled in an electoral quandry of sorts. Stick with Schoeder or move to Merkel. Humm… Interesting to see how this will pan out.

Excursus: Where is the US Supreme Court on this? If Justice Breyer can cite international law in his decisions, couldn’t he offer to referree the formations of German government coalitions? Just askin…

But electoral results not withstanding, they are starting to party in Bavaria!

Can you find the Foreign Minister in this photo?

Well, your Maximum Leader can tell you that the elusive Foreign Minister is not in this photo…

Carry on.
