Strangest thing I've read in a while:

Germans Feel Tensions at New Mexico Air Force Base

"Vera Kieren, a teacher at the Deutsche Schule, said it happened when her husband told a convenience store cashier recently that their daughter did not drink Coca-Cola.

"The cashier said, 'But she does live in this country, doesn't she?' " said Kieren, who moved to Alamogordo with her family three years ago from Baden-Baden, in southwestern Germany.

"It's been a bit tense for us with the issues in Iraq," Kieren said, surprised at the implication that any right-thinking parents in the United States would have their children drinking Coca-Coca."

I feel a new marketing slogan coming soon: "Drink Coca-Cola. All the REAL Americans do."

Sheesh.
