First Female Chancellor Of Germany
The Christian Democrat Party's Angela Merkel has been elected chancellor of Germany, the first woman to hold that post. What do you think?

"Is this some trick to make me care about the Germans? Because I guarantee you, it’s not working."
August Wojcizk,

"A woman chancellor of Germany? What’s next, an American TV show featuring a woman president?"
Horace Wirt,
Writer
"The question remains: Will the people of Germany obey her? If she wears a black leather uniform and slaps a riding crop against the side of her leg, I believe they will."
