What a Difference a Year Makes

Just over a year ago, Frankfurt, Germany, was the site of the premiere of "HOPE" an enraptured musical about the rise of Barack Obama (featuring, as per this in Der Spiegel, "Jimmie Wilson who plays Obama, [strutting] up and down, clasping his mike and leading a euphoric gospel chorus of "Yes We Can"": egad!).

Fast forward to last week, and Frankfurt became the site of an attack on American servicemen perpetrated by a German-born jihadi laddy who screamed the all-too-familiar war cry as he opened fire, killing two.

Rather ironic, no?
