ONE WEEK LATER, we still don't know what kind of government we're going to have. Is it going to be center-right? Or perhaps a grand coalition, CDU-SPD style? It's too early to tell.

One thing is certain, though. I've said what I wanted to say, long ago, and time has come to kiss this blog good-bye. That's not to say I won't continue writing: just not the way I used to. I've got certain ideas about how to market myself on the net, and once I am sure about the right direction, I'll take it.

Punditry isn't as much fun as it used to be, and - frankly - I need to make a better use of my time. When I started this blog, my goal was to improve my English, and I think I can put a checkmark next to that task. As for political opinions, I have voiced them all - literally. I have run out of opinions. I no longer have any.

Thank you all for your attention. To all my new friends whom I've met here, it was great talking to you.

Good-bye, then - until we meet again.
