1. New party 'boss' for FDP, Wolfgang Kubicki. Party has a 5-year trend (downward) on votes....currently at 3-percent on polling. Belief is that Kubicki can get more attention....getting them up around 6-to-7 percent (enough to get seats). Party is pro-business....less on taxes. If they get more votes....likely taking mostly from CDU or SPD.
Curious thing about Kubicki....he often get invitations to ARD/ZDF public forum shows (I'd guess at least 6 times a year).
2. N-TV piece.....Germany short on 2,000 prosecutors.
3. Some hint from the Pentagon....when they suggest 'closures' or drawdowns....it'll occur pretty fast.
