Funny exepts from the Wikileaks Embassy Docs:
(SBU) Chancellor Angela Merkel nominated Baden- Wuerttemberg (BW) Minister President Guenther Oettinger as EU Energy Commissioner primarily to remove an unloved lame duck from an important CDU bastion. The move was not the promotion of a valued colleague as Merkel's allies sought to portray it. Rather, Oettinger's increasing loss of party support in BW compelled Merkel to push Oettinger out to protect her support base there. Oettinger is noted for a lackluster public speaking style, and some commentators have asserted that Merkel, who has often stood out at EU meetings, wanted to appoint a German Commissioner who would not outshine her.
2. (SBU) Germany has a time-honored tradition of sending unwanted politicians to the EU Commission, although departing SPD EU Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen proved his worth during his tenure. Oettinger has criticized Merkel for her policy stances (on federal support to Opel and on generous subsidies to the former eastern states, for instance) and her purported lack of leadership while antagonizing other influential CDU leaders. In addition to being a poor public speaker, he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth.

Its much more interesting than reasing normal Newspaper comments, as its related to people who are really into the matter.
Btw: Germany took up 7 Guantanamo Inmates, and ist still paying huge amounts of developing Aid to China (as if China would be a developing country...) And there are still US nuclear weapons stationed in Germany..

Wenn ich eine oder mehrere PDF in Opera in einem Tab geöffnet habe, und derweil in einem oder mehreren Tabs im Inet surfe, dann springt die PDF, scheinbar grundlos, ein paar Seiten, meistens jedoch bis ans Ende der Datei, weiter. Da das beim Lernen/ Arbeiten einige Male am Tag passiert, ist es, insbesondere bei größeren Skripten, sehr nervig. Kennt jemand die Ursache oder gar eine Lösung (abgesehen von einem anderen Browser)? Lust habe ich auch nicht, jede PDF, die ich im Internet einsehe, vorher erst abspeichern zu müssen.
