If Polly Toynbee and the nannytollahs can't fix things now, the bottom will drop out, literally, of Britain's European futureI'm convinced Steyn can write on and make complete sense out of anything.
Anything!

Indeed, when Europeans gleefully contemplate America's imminent "imperial overstretch", the very phrase takes on awesome metaphorical power, conjuring a pair of polyester check pants straining at the seams across some huge global butt.
Oh lord is he good!
Steyn bump!

I also noted the Denmark travel advisory;
Don't ask me why. I saw a report at the weekend detailing the remarkable rise in Danish breast size over the past two decades, so maybe it's sweaty Danish fat guys keeling over at the sight of all that fabulous Jutland cleavage.
Of course, I was weaned far too early.

I know of no other writer who could so effectively write of the politicization of obesity.
Mark, give the WH a call; they need you.
Thanks, Pokey.

Does this mean we will have to go to war with france in the future? We should give it to the Russians.

In Paris a couple of years ago, my French dinner companions harangued me at length about how they could no longer bear to walk down American Main Streets, filled as they are with 300lb middle-aged toddlers waddling along the sidewalk in Xtra-large Disney T-shirts and slurping super-sized sodas from plastic bottles with giant nipples. "It is a culture of arrested development," one disdainful Parisian sniffed wearily, "of perpetual childhood." The French may be annoying, but they have made a correct observation here. It's irritates me to no end to see the way people feel free to dress and act in public in these times

In the Guardian, for example, Polly Toynbee had no hesitation in deciding on the root cause: "America has by far the most unequal society... Ms. Toynbee's statement is so devoid of intellect that it could only have been made by someone who attended college.

I would be so reassured if I knew that Mark Steyn was in some way helping the re-election campaign. He is a virtuoso of the language.
