Just finished reading the best op-ed on the Saarland Jamaica so far, one doing away with the notion that personal animosities were the real reason for the Greens' decision -- rather than the excuse.

The op-ed finishes with a possibly intentional slip by Merkel a year ago which I missed. At some party conference, she began to address her once big inner-party adversary, the Hessen state PM, as "Mr. Roland Kotz... ehhh, Koch..." [Kotz = vomit]
