1. Some front-page story out of WELT....shocking.....the German Army is short on artillery ammo. To be honest, if you went back over the whole past decade, this shortage has continually existed. It's not exactly new issues.
2. There's a shoplifting piece out there that says the present yearly 'take' in Germany is around 3.7-billion Euro.
3. Off N-TV this AM.....story brewing that the federal government's cartel office is looking at several German companies for price-rigging. They haven't named the companies....yet.
4. The Monday night public forum show....'Hart Aber Fair'....ran most all of the chat on the Rammstein band business (Till Lindemann) and his consensual/non-consensual sex stuff....with Till being present.
Pretty rough on Till....but they did come to some point of saying you can't run blanket discrimination against men, and that facts are murky in this case.
To be honest....if you tested most Germans....the vast majority don't know the guy (he's heavy metal) and would not recognize him if stopped at the front-door to ask for a cup of water.
5. 'Pechstein-scandal'? Basically, you've got a German female policewoman who shows up at CDU political functions....in a police uniform. This has freaked out some fragile folks who say you can't have this type of uniform attendance. It would appear, up until this point, there wasn't a state or federal rule on this type of thing.
