Occasional Observations

Russian Premier Putin is in town and the skies have been buzzing with helicopters all day long. According to media reports, Putin is here on a fund-raising trip (bad timing - he missed the Oktoberfest). He's also held talks with German Premier Angela Merkel about "making Germany a gas hub for Europe" - inspiring the Financial Times Deutschland to come up with the most wonderful headline:

"Putin gibt Gas"

BILD headline writers, eat your hearts out.
