(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
You are evil. I love it.
That's easy: Closer ties to the U.S.A. and endorsement of and cooperation with the Bush Administration.
The Left has nothing to offer but failure, nihilism, decadence, Marxism, delusion, propaganda, platitudes, and suicide. This is exactly why the political and cultural center of gravity in America has shifted to Middle America from the Leftist enclaves of the West and Northeast Coasts, as was dramatically demonstrated in the 2004 Presidential Election.
The American people have heard the message of the Left and have resoundingly and wisely rejected it.
Europeans should do the same.
Middle America offers leadership, solutions, stability in an unstable world, optimism, a plan for the future, economic and political progress, tried and true values, morality, and The American Dream of liberty, prosperity, and justice for all the people of the world.
The answer to Europe's crisis is easy: Embrace the values and leadership of Middle America. Together we can bring The American Dream to Europe and to the rest of the world as well.
I'm surprised that you people at The Guardian haven't thought of this.
It could be very sweet: by year's end-- Chirac, Schroeder, Saddam and Chretien all gone-- GWBush, Tony Blair, John Howard, all still in power.
Someone please educate me. What the heck is a "beeber" ?
Along with Jennings, Rather and Brokaw.
The mix of currencies is fine...until you have to travel across a border and pay the exchange office to convert what you have to what you will need...for a 3% plus fee. Regardless of the currency in your hands, the cost of items in Europe is significantly higher than what you would pay for the same thing in the U.S. I chose to significantly underrun my expenses vs per diem. I spent the different on goods in the U.S. at a more favorable price.
The French apparently don't want to surrender their sovereignity to the Brussels bureaucrats. Nobody with an IQ over 20 would want to do that.
It's always been a mystery to me why anyone would want to hold a currency that won't exist in five years time.
The "POINT" is..., when the "member states" bother to ask their citizens about the issue (very few have), they say HELL NO!
Crying tears over the fact that the EU's "representatives" all support THEIR view of a constitution that is going down in flames is typical of the RED GUARDIAN!
Don't worry, all they have to do is forbid any referendums on their plans in the future!!!
After all, "All animals are equal but,... some are more equal than others"... (Sound familiar???).
Le Congres ne pourra faire aucune loi concernant l'etablissement d'une religion ou interdisant son libre exercice, restreignant la liberte de la parole ou de la presse, ou touchant au droit des citoyens de s'assembler paisiblement et d'adresser des petitions au Gouvernement pour le redressement de leurs griefs.
Without too much elaboration, a "beeber" is used to "stune" folks at border crossing point to make sure that they are not carrying radioactive materials.
Thus the phrase: "He stuned me with his beeber."
Het Congres zal geen wet maken betreffende de instelling van een godsdienst, of die de vrije uitoefening van een godsdienst verbiedt; of die de vrijheid van meningsuiting of de persvrijheid beknot; of het recht van het volk om vreedzaam te vergaderen en het recht om zich tot de Regering te wenden voor her verhelpen aan misstanden.
...That was my first thought at seeing the headline. But then I check the source. The Guardian....
Ah yes, The Guardian. According to Jonathan Hunt of Fox News, they are still lamenting the demise of the old Soviet Union.
Gotta love that guy. He kind of tells it like it is.
LOL Good one.
It doesn't have to be passed by referendum, a vote in the parliament will do too.
France has a tradition with holding referendums whereas the UK doesn't so Blair resisted it strongly.
For once the French got it right :)
It always feels like we're fighting against very powerful, insurmountable forces.
With France, it's all about them.
