Is there anything to which “Der Untergang” cannot be applied?
Although somewhat tasteless in execution (war, genocide, and the like), the answer appears to be no. The “Hitler in the bunker” clip from Der Untergang [IMDB] can seemingly be applied to just about any contentious subject. For instance, the iPad. Although regrettable, I think this is officially part of pop-culturedom.

A Disastrous Decade: The Naughties
On a personal level, this decade has been A-OK. Wife, kids, house, new job, advanced education, and so on.
When I sit back and reflect on the last 10-years, particularly on the things that have occurred outside of my control, it seems to be a never-ending string of disasters – both real and imagined.
Enron. 2000 Election. The non-event of Y2K. September 11th. The Columbia Disaster. The Invasion of Iraq. The 2004 Election. Katrina. The Tsunami. The Great Recession.
