Germany in Flames, Refugees Heading Towards Hungary: "

Just kidding, we hope. Anyway, as you may have heard, Germany had an election yesterday, and it didn't go exactly as planned. In fact, it's shaping up to be a foreign-language remake of the botched 2000 presidential election in America, but in the one country that matters most to Hungary's economy, and which, unlike America, has been known to invade Hungary when things are going really badly at home. (Okay, so America has also invaded us, and Germany asked before their last invasion, but so did the Americans, and they asked nicer, and in English.) So at least for the next few days we suggest stop your compulsive reading about how screwed up the US is, and instead read about how screwed up Germany is. Meanwhile, we'll be sure to give you a heads-up if things really go off the rails, though if the past is any indication, you won't need us to tell you.
