Wanted: For those looking for a job, the UK is advertising the post of Ambassador to the Vatican. Too bad Americans will not be eligible, since apparently we are losing jobs to Canada according to Krugman who wrote today's column on Canada's Competitive Advantage. Germans should have an easier time finding jobs, since apparently, we Germans invented just about everything. A new marketing campaign is out to boost German's self perception, "In fact, the catalogue is the response to a survey showing that most countries, including Britain, are fonder of Germany than Germans are of themselves." Not only genius inventors, but humble, too... The remaining members of the Doors are also in the market for a new band name, after a court banned them from using touring under the name "The Doors." And if you wanted a longer summer, you got it: Daylight savings time will be extended for 4 weeks.
