No, it’s not another Bush townhall meeting, and it’s not the current war. It’s English football fans in Germany, and the war is World War II. To improve the image of the England supporters, the Football Association is warning the Germany-bound fans to not make any Hitler and WWII references when taunting the German team and their supporters.

Sunday mornings offer so much if you wake up (or recover) early enough to enjoy it. Most people are still asleep and you have the place to yourself. You have the potential to do a lot on a Sunday morning, but if you’re like me, you spend it all running errands. Well at least I have the afternoon for a bike ride.
