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 Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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.
