The EU constitution is reject; chaos ensues; the US will need to intervene with troops to quell violence; we set up new governments throughout Europe; spend a couple of trillions of dollars on a new "Marshall Plan" to jump start the European economy...And within a generation, they'll be back to hating us

LOL! Exactly! We've done our job 3 times (WWI, WWII, Cold War). Let's sit the next one out...

"Those major players are Asian banks that are heavily infested in the euro."

Infested? I wouldn't go that far, but they might have been feeling rather infested in recent days.

Thanks for the copy edit. Yes, spelling should be invested. I am not a fan of Freud, but I see now why he came up with his theory of the unconscious. How else to explain mistakes that make more sense than your first thought?

Intelligent Design, LOL?

Intelligent Design, LOL?

I don't know if it's intelligence doing the designing, but it does bring about humor, a constant source of pleasure.

Which brings to mind one of my favorites: "Sex proves that God has a sense of humor."

That's a good one. One of my favorite stories from classical mythology is about Aphrodite and Ares caught in the net of Hephaestus.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is married to Hephaestus, the homely and crippled blacksmith of the gods, but she has a secret affair with Ares, the handsome god of war. Hephaestus finds out about it and plans his revenge. He uses all the masterly skill of his craft of metalworking to fashion a net of fine mesh, and when the lovers are in their bed of passion, he throws his net around them. It binds them so tightly that they are not able to move from their intimate embrace. He then calls all the other gods and goddesses to come and see, and when assembled they all burst out in laughter at this ridiculous scene.

Sex is indeed a source of pleasure but not always for the people engaging in it.

ONE QUESTION?

Didn't OPEC decide to trade in euro's instead of dollars?

"Incidentally did you know John Kerry went to Vietnam and won a ton a of medals? No kidding its true. I heard Dan Rather report it on TV and everything."

No way!!!! Please provide a source!!

John Kerry as reported by Dan Rather. Rather even has documents to prove it! He got them from a know psychiatric who got them from an unknown woman at a race track. Now how much evidence could you possibly need?
