I'm more concerned about the state of Massachuttes than Europe. All North of New York is going down the EU crapper.

"All North of New York is going down the EU crapper." Love the expression! Just looked it up. "Of all the pioneers in the development of the modern toilet, Thomas Crapper's name, or a part thereof, has been in the public's mind, or at least it's vocabulary, for nearly a century; although Thomas Crapper made no major contribution to either the manufacturing technology or to popular design. Evidently what Thomas Crapper was was a promoter. He wrote a book called "Flushed with Pride" and he placed his business in a prominent London location that conspicuously displayed his product line." http://www.victoriancrapper.com/Tcrapper.html He wrote a book "Flushed with Pride".
