And you thought Alito was scary!
Tis the season for things demonic, and this year, the Germans really did it up right. Much to the horror of (hopefully many) Germans, the infamous Zapfenstreich, a "traditional" Prussian night march involing torches and the bearing of Teutonic standards, was carried out for the first time right in front of the Reichstag – and carried live on German TV. Get past the talking head of this video and see some truly frightening images that will put you in the Halloween spirit, perhaps even more than you'd care to be. And in case you think this is just old footage from that "other" era, that's indeed Gerhard Schröder on the reviewing stand, in one of his last official acts as Chancellor that I'm sure he will look back on and wonder how many schnapps he had imbibed when he agreed to this.
