Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at nate(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

While my parents were here they caught Saddam. Finally. This is good.
Well my parents are back at home safe and sound. I had a really good time with them. It was stressful at times but we all lived through it. Sometimes its hard to translate and still keep track of everything going. Here are a few pictures of the Weihnachtsmarkt in Hamburg:

An interesting article from The Nation about how the media influences elections and other aspects politics based on money instead of the issues. Kucinich is raising the issue. Article here:
"When Ted Koppel steered one of the most critical debates of the Democratic presidential contest toward horserace questions about endorsements, poll positions and fund raising, the host of ABC-TV's Nightline inadvertently created an opening for a serious discussion about one of the most important issues in America today: media policy. And Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Dennis Kucinich has seized that opening with a vengeance. "

While my mom and dad are here in Germany my dad has managed to defy the rules of space and time and appear in his local paper. w00t! We are having lots of fun here. We have drunk lots of Glühwein and eaten lots of bratwurst. We've done quite a bit of keeping the Irish pub in business as well. We are all on a first name basis with Dan the bartender/waiter. I will have more details later.
