Germans hostile towards Bush, what would Russians say?

On Wednesday, the US President George W. Bush made a stopover in the German city of Mainz, but surprisingly faced hundreds of protestors on the streets, signaling of still hostile attitude towards the US’s invasion to Iraq. Today he meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Bratislava.
Mr. Bush remained optimistic. He said his seven-hour stopover was rather fruitful as he managed to repair relations with Germany, cracked by the German refusal to join the US troops in Iraq.
Mr. Bush did not contact the rally.
The German officials say that the ice in German-American relations is melting, although not all differences have been solved. “Both sides obviously want to symbolize, by language, by rhetoric and by body language that German-American relations are good. When politicians do that, it’s more than symbolic, it’s also substance, because it gives a signal to public opinion that this is the way they want it to be in the future,” said Karsten Voigt, a senior German Foreign Ministry official.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
