Obama: Around the world




From the Guardian comes a look at the various papers worldwide covering the Obama inauguration. It's so nice of them to do so. Just know that we don't even know who runs any of your countries and one of your elections wouldn't make it onto our front pages unless you elected a nude supermodel. But thanks anyway. For anyone looking for translations Aftenpoften's says "Eyegouge for History!", Beeld says "Kiss my hoop. Obama talks about golf and optimism during Presidential oath.", Bild says "Mr. President will beat welts onto all of you!", the Squiggly Writing Gazette is probably moaning something about Zionists, and Le Figaro's loosely translates into "The Masturbating American."

Frankly I could care less about the Inauguration, just tell me where to get that free Jane Eyre DVD.
