[I]The Week[I]is one publication that I enjoy week after week. The current issue is no disappointment as it shows President Obama giving Prime Minister Maliki of Iraq a shot up what looks to me as a W124, like my wife's 300d. Good allegorical simile, a well made car all beat up as the keys (torch) is passed. Then, on page 40 of the same issue an article about personalized coffins. Sure enogh it looks like a W123 in the craftsman's shop. Ain't life with M-B's a gas??
