It’s Always Hard To Know What To Write In A Guest Book

“Chilean President Sebastián Piñera has apologized for writing the words ‘Deutschland Über Alles,’ a phrase frowned on in Germany because of its association with the Nazi era, into the official guest book of German President Christian Wulff during a visit to Berlin last week.”
— Pinera, who was visiting to thank the German government for its help in rescuing the trapped miners earlier this month, said he didn’t realize the phrase was “linked to that country’s dark past.” We know what he was thinking: “I hate signing guest books, I never know what to say. There’s so much pressure to be funny or clever or whatever. I was like, Germany, Germany, what do I know about Germany? All I could think of was that Dead Kennedys song.”
