The German woman's name "Gisele" is pronounced /GHEE-zuh-luh/. That happens to have been the name as my high-school German teacher. Of course, I'm presuming I have the spelling right. There's also the French name "Giselle", which is /zhee-ZELL/.
I love Danielle's trick with the Gisele Feldman story. As much as Republicans like to talk about Hitler, they really don't think in terms of what actually happened in that era.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Our struggle against Da'esh depends on getting most of the Muslims in the world on our side. There's a reason that Da'esh calls greater Islam "the Grey Zone". They consider those Muslims to be salvageable from sin and apostasy, whereas pagans are not and must simply be killed. Our task is to convince those Muslims that they don't need to be saved by Da'esh. If mistreat the "greys", we cannot get them on our side.
