Magdeburg was great yesterday – I’ll blog once I have the 400 pictures I took processed. No, not all of them came out, but I have some good thoughts to share about my little day trip.

Meanwhile, I thought I’d share this nice little blerb – which (knock me over with a feather) aired originally on Fox News. Truly, this says so much about the state of the American government – and what our politicians and leaders in office are doing. It counts as a Penny for his thoughts – and a Penny for mine… because it truly reflects what I think too. I guess that makes it worth a full 2 cents.

I guess my question is – WHY as AMERICANS are WE NOT OUTRAGED? I know I am – and I’m living abroad because I can’t stand the way things are being done in my own country. I deal with very subtile Racism, genderism, a glass celing and a very real dislike of “auslanders” (foreigners) here in Germany – but honestly, I feel safer, more protected, and less like the German government is out to get me – than I currently do in the USA. What does that say – overall? Somewhere along the line, Germans seem to have more COMMON SENSE than those in the USA – despite the bureaucracy, despite the subtle racism, despite everything.
