To anyone who follows current events, it's been an intense news cycle these last few months. Plus, the Ep. III DVD has 13 hours of bonus material with 5 deleted scenes! >:)

Is the question literal, as in the News of the DAY, or spread out over the year 2005?

Aye...and ya gotta specify continent too, as I'm sure some of the US politics doesn't quite matter as much outside of North American...in general :P

I've updated it with a German-specific option. :)

Just out of curiousity, what's a "coaltion" again?

See, in a true democracy, where there are more than two parties, sometimes two or more of them have to form a coalition in order to form the government body.

I was more pointing out the former typo. :P Glad to see you got the message. I'm well aware of what a coalition is.

Sorry Mike but that coalition is built on a foundation of sand. Good luck getting the Christian Democrats and the Green Party to agree about anything. Magic 8 Ball says Merkel's attempts at reform will flounder, Germany's precious social programs will remain intact, and the unemployment rate will stay sky high. Kind'a like Italy's parliment, where "dead-lock" is a constant state of being.

2 cents :P

Options 1 & 3 can be grouped together, really. CIA Leak and Tom DeLay are nearly interchangable topics on talk radio.
