...would be nice to think the magnitude of the problems facing the nation would lead to a minimum of puerile contentiousness, but vile still seems to be the default position for some of Obama's noisier detractors - "Obama Flubs the Oath" was the inaccurate headline greeting the new President on the Drudge Report.

But 83 years after it was first published, some Germans argue it should be made available again in order to drain it of whatever power it might still have...
