...Obamas' private dinner may, in fact, be a way of avoiding political awkwardness in the Czech capital: They will not be joining President Vaclav Klaus (a skeptic on global warming) at a state dinner; nor will they be sharing delicious Czech lager at an informal pub visit with Topolanek, whose government collapsed a day before his comment about Obama's stimulus inferno. Czech sources insist that the Americans had turned down those two invitations before the Prime Minister's remark. (See pictures of the Obamas in Europe...
...Lent, sacrifice the vulgar bibulous customs of your college peers. Turn down the boom box and raise the lights. Sip, do not chug. And let the drink in your hand nurse, not eliminate the need for, conversation and charm. Soon, form will follow function. Trade your mass-produced American lager for a Trappist brew, crafted lovingly in a monastery according to a recipe perfected over the centuries.

...puts Agathe in a traditional German dirndl while Ännchen, in the same scene, wears a form-fitting black blazer and a pair of department store jeans. The chorus of village maidens, bodices laced up and hair braided like so many St. Pauli Girls, drink lager out of disposable frat-party cups. A rustic wooden barrel that looks like it might have been used in the original 1821 production at the Konzerthaus in Berlin, shares space on the stage with a blue plastic trash bin that looks like it might have been purchased at the Home Depot in West...
