Carlton Cuse ’81manage to pull off a grand unifying scheme that makes all of this nonsense line up, they will be nothing less than the gods of television, and I’ll correspondingly pay my tithe in DVD sets.

Within 24 hours, Germany responded with a simple rejection, although it will be sending another 250 rapid reaction troops to the north. Neither party in Germany's current ruling grand coalition government wants to stick its neck out on the unpopular proposal in the runup to elections next year.
