Agreed--a very funny money, which incidentally shows a lot about what it was like to live in East Berlin.

For a more serious take on life in a totalitarian state, The Lives of Others is highly recommended. Maybe all Americans need to see it to know what our future holds...especially if Obama is followed by another Democrat President.

I saw that one too. It’s a sobering film.

That should have been “a very funny movie,” of course.

Saw it. Excellent primer. The Low-Informed have no idea what Osagyefo has in store for them.

In the GDR, even luminaries like Katerina Witt, the Olympic skating champion, were required to report on others, and others reported on them.
