Elections in Germany
Sept. 15 - Peaktalk reports that
EU Commissioner Nelie Kroes has endorsed Angela Merkel and discusses some of the implications of the results of the German elections for the EU.
I don't keep abreast of politics in Europe as much as I would wish, but it does seem that now that widespread activism against U.S. intervention in Iraq has died down and the EU Constitution has been rejected by the Netherlands and France that there is renewed focus by European nations on their issues and much talk of necessary economic reforms. I really can't make any predictions or informed comments but I tend to always think it a good thing when we survey our own backyards rather than those of our neighbours.
By the way, if you missed yesterday's Instapundit link to Pieter's German Election Primer be sure and read it. Very, very informative.

Deb: You may want to post a notice that, for those who missed the Galloway - Hitchens debate in New York on Wednesday, the two will be on TV Ontario tonight on Studio 2 (8:00 pm with subsequent rebroadcasts).

Just read about this topic of up coming elections in three countries in Europe.
Point was made that those who run for office must table brave and dynamic policies in order to win any election.
One proposal is a flat tax system. Takes ten minutes to fill in a return.
That's a little too daring for Canada. The author did make a point by saying Harper would do well to advance something daring or dynamic at least, as CPC policy.
I suspect the CPC may well do something to grab the voters attention. The TV spots on their website at the moment are more like safe elevator music.
Election winning policy is being held in the wings until the race to the polling booth is underway ... let's hope. '3s TG

What an absolute cliffhanger. While we wait around to see what coalition if any, forms, can I offer you a delightful Thesis / book [145p] all about Blogging?
James has very generously placed his thesis for download [free], when he may have easily earned $39.95 a copy had it gone retail.
It is free. There are no strings or mystery cookies to worry about. My browser set-up warns of any cookie attempt, so I know for sure. Usually, freebies elswhere place cookies... thus very little is really free.
Please leave a comment at a new site, we all live for comments eh? Then link to AThesis Download there.

No obligation to, but please.. a comment or two for a new site.. OK? 73s TonyGuitar
