Lots on France & Germany

Apparently, they're hot topics for different, similar, and overlapping reasons:

Sarkozy is resented for not speaking proper French.

Merkel and her coalition face tough challenges in the upcoming elections in Germany.

French newspapers are struggling, but the government is not about to let them go belly-up; they're married, in a way....

France has found its Palin in Marine LePen. Equally crazy, undoubtedly smarter... must be watched and kept from power....

Sarkozy and Merkel fairly and objectively portrayed as an unlikely but functional pair. I can totally see the tension. And, although I do not like Merkel's general politics and her party's associations with a religion, I do think her stance on the European financial crisis is the healthiest and the most likely to guarantee the European Union's survival.
