....Europe is now a whole greater than the sum of its parts

Well, Europe sure 'nuff may be a whole, agree with that.... but a greater whole? Guess it depends on how many wholes they got to start with. I never gave it a whole lot of thought until now.

Metrostructural manifested alchamey.... what a bunch of rusty buckets do when they get together.

Now just substitution the word homosexual for metrosexual and Europe has defined itself into absurdity and impotence.

Metrosexual is an apt term for european diplomacy. If a straight man can't get a woman by acting normal, what makes him think behaving like a homosexual will get him sex? Europe is ineffective for a reason.

forgot to mention:

EU, a superpower? only in the wet dreams closets of Germany.

They have a 1970's military, an eccomy crippled by runaway entitlement programs, and a currency which is propped up by two accounting fraud scandals.

There is nothing super or powerful about the EU that does not depend on the USA.

Metrosexual do not define mansculinity. Metrosexuals are defined by their fleeing and rejecting masculity. IOW metrosexuals are just homowanabes with a longer lifespan. (longer anoyance shelf life)

METROsexuals... thank God for country boys!!!!! Gives you a new respect for real men. I will never complain again, as God is my witness, about those crude, irritating things guys do. Like itching... never mind.

I didn't realize that the Brookings Institute was branching out into Fantasy literature.

To some observers, the EU may always be little more than a cheap superpower knockoff with little substance to show but a common multilingual passport. Indeed.

Substance, Beckham shows, is nothing without style.

Falls down at the first hurdle - Beckham is utter crap. He's all style and no substance.

If you're in a tough fix, who'd you rather have helping you? John Wayne or Jon Bon Jovi?
