The canonical mispelling of beeper. A future entry in freeper dictionary.
I can't tell if the Guardian is for or against the EU consitution... they're so objective.

"I wonder how Buffet feels about the dollar now!"
The general consenses was that the US dollar would go up but with our markets closed today the dollar is down .43. Might take some time for the real valuations for the currencies to become relatively stable.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Many countries have already ratified the EU constitution, and Christianity isn't mentioned in our Constitution anywhere.
"REAL money?";)"
Unless you're talking gold and/or silver, it ain't real money.
That's not being pedantic, that's called being wrong.
The UK has a Parliamentary system. To be the Prime Minister in a Parliamentary system, your *party* has to win the most seats in Parliament.
Blair's Labour Party holds a 60+ seat outright majority in Parliament, re-electing Blair to his post as Prime Minister for a record-setting 3rd term.
FYI, a 60+ seat majority is more than 50% backing of the British population.
Assimilating immigrants who are widely scattered and cannot easily maintain cultural patterns that conflict with the larger society, as occurred in America, is possible. Mutual assimilation of large, well organized and well established populations, such as the nations of Europe, is a bigger problem, to say the least.
The intellectually and/or morally shallow--which include virtually everyone on the Left--refuse to understand--and perhaps are incapable of understanding--that the size of an immigrant population that can be assimilated is finite.
At its extreme, if the immigrant population is larger than the established society, the established society will be assimilated into the immigrant population and not vice versa. This is obvious to anyone with a funcioning brain, but it's beyond the brain-dead morons of the Left.
Those who refuse to see reality are doomed to...uh...let's just say are doomed.
The challenge before the rest of us is to keep such fools from dooming everybody else.
If they just wanted to commit suicide, the problem would be theirs--not ours, but unfortunately they are determined to drag everyone else down that well known, well paved Road to Hell along with themselves, and we cannot allow them to do this.
The mindless Left cannot be allowed to succeed. It's that simple. And the more that everyone understands this the better.
This is why the cultural and political center of gravity in America has shifted from the Leftist enclaves to Middle America, as was dramatically demonstrated in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election. The American people can not and do not trust the Left. For good reason! The Left can not and must not be trusted.
Let's hope that the people of Europe awaken to this same reality in time to save themselves.
They know all the political theories. Political debate in Europe is intense and always has been, and governing in that situation is anything but simple.
Check the figures.
Labour polled 36% of those who voted in the general election, the Conservatives, 33%, and the Liberal Democrats, 23%.
