Porshe Multihammer P7911 power drill

After designing cars, lamps, incubators, bathrooms, pianos and a soon-to-be cellphone, Porshe design studio came up with a new drill concept. The concept is pretty neat since you can use the power drill in different directions while applying all of your horizontal strength. However its expensive tag (700$) is, as usual, the main problem in Porshe's designs. I can only dream of a world where plumbers will knock on our doors flashing this sexy power tool !

Today, president Bush had his first meeting with the Pope in Vatican city. Mr. Bush gave the Pope a walking stick made by a former homeless man with the ten commandments engraved on it. Benedict XVI asked him if really all the ten commandments were on the stick and, his response was: "Yes sir !".

Now this is where it gets funny: as the Italian press suddenly jumped and screamed blasphemy against the protocol ! Everyone including the president of the United States must use terms like "his Holyness" when talking to the Pope. To the Italians, George W. Bush is a now (more than ever) a Texan with no manners.

As for the American newspapers, most of them don't even talk about that event or, if they do, they pass briefly on that topic. For the Americans, George W. Bush is still (more than ever) the President and the absolute power and proud representation of the USA.

The third and final news analyzed originated from a french-canadian electronic newspaper. In the article, Mr. Bush is depicted as a relaxed and too friendly with the Pope. You can sense a bit of irony pushing the image of Bush towards stupidity, therefore explaining why he befriended the Pope. For french-canadians, George W. Bush is a now (more than ever) a stupid president that doesn't have a clue what is going on.
