BERLIN: The Green party, one of Germany's main political parties, has elected the son of Turkish immigrants to its top political post, the first time any party here has chosen a leader with an immigrant background. The election Saturday of Cem Ozdemir, 42, born in southern Germany of parents who had come from Turkey to work as "Gastarbeiter," or guest workers, during the 1960s, marks a major turning point not only for the opposition Greens, but also for the country as a whole. Even though more than 2.6 million Turks live in Germany, accounting for 3 percent of the population, few have managed to make it to the higher ranks of the professions, including politics and the civil service.

From the Financial Times, HOLY SHIT

From the Financial Times, HOLY SHIT

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. .... On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record. ... This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years. ...

But when Mr. Medvedev's limousine arrived, the Marine took a step to his right, away from where he would need to be to open the rear passenger door, having obviously been instructed beforehand that he would not be opening the door for the Kremlin chief. A Russian security agent jumped out of the front passenger side seat and opened the door for the diminutive Mr. Medvedev, who bounded up the flight of steps to while he buttoned his suit jacket.

Politicians crack me up. Everything is a chess play. A prissy sort of quid pro quo is going on between Pres Bush and Mr. Medvedev - president of Russia and honorary member of the Lollipop Guild. Due to tensions between the USA and Russia, Pres. Medvedev has become skitish around big, strong Jar heads.

During his annual September pilgrimage to the shrines of global governance at the United Nations in New York, Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero boasted that Spain’s per capita GDP has now surpassed that of Italy. “This depresses Berlusconi,” he joked of the Italian prime minister, adding that Spain was on target to overtake France “within three to four years.” Considering Zapatero’s triumphalism, Spaniards are asking themselves why it has taken three humiliating weeks of begging and pleading to get their prime minister invited to a global financial summit set for Washington on November 15. euros are worthless, weak, pathetic, spoiled rotten little children from the top to the lowly serf...ROTTEN i say.

A team in the US has brought the world one step closer to cheap, mass-produced, perfect diamonds. The improvement also means there is no theoretical limit on the size of diamonds that can be grown in the lab.

No, not cubic zircon. We are talking real diamonds. Right now diamonds are produced by a different process, but it produces diamonds that are on the small side and still very pricey. With this new method, the size is limited to your imagination. I would like to see this destroy the deBeers group stranglehold on the diamond market.

If bill is passed, no more mosques would be built in Italy. That's an offer the muzz can't refuse.

Global warming is not the problem
