Slightly off-thread, but not worth starting a new one for, the Deutsche Welle website (English Language Version) today has this interesting news item:
Only days ago the signs were ominous that the US Senate would reject the START arms reduction treaty, but . . . President Barack Obama stuck to his guns and has come away with an important victory.
"Arms reduction." "Stuck to his guns." Perhaps the editor was indulging in a trifle too much Christmas cheer?
