There is a fine bust of Jan III Sobieski in the lobby of the hotel that bears his name in Warsaw. My guess is that his great victory, largely forgotten except in Poland, will increasingly come to mind as Europe faces a new Islamic invasion.

If the Poles don't kill off the EU Constitution, the Aland islanders will. The Alanders (26,000 in number)live off the coast of Finland, speak Swedish, but are legally Finnish citizens. The Finnish constitution gives them the right to veto any treaties, and they have already voted to veto the EU constitution. The last straw was when the EU bureaucrats in Brussels outlawed chewing tobacco of which the Alanders are especially fond.

The EU didn't make any friends when they tried to outlaw german bar waitresses from wearing dresses that displayed any clevage claiming some idiotic "we know whats best for you because your at risk for skin cancer" truck load of manure.

This is why the EU constiution is bound to fail.

The same happened to tabaka - which is a tobacco powder, that people sniff and inhale trough nose.

It's particularly popuplar in Kashubia region of Poland.

As far as I know EU has already banned it, or is going to.
