Re-work of Thursday's National Post column.

Ping for the MSPL.

Steyn's brilliant column de jour.

THIS IS A FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC PIECE!

[madison46]

ping to me as well

[Pokey78]

You think you deserve a ping? eheh

[Pearls Before Swine]

THIS IS A FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC PIECE!</i?

...and he runs it in an English paper. I love it.

Dam#, this is GOOD! It went even further than I would. We do let them act like equals and we have been subsidizing them, but I'd never quit made the dependency connection. Perhaps it's time to cut the ombilical cord. My mother and I are both stronger for it.

[Husker24]

I couldnt have written it better myself.

[Brian Allen]

BUMP; BUMP; PING!; PING!; PING!

So there!

I deserve lots of MSPL pings. Thanks for the great editorial.

If that sounds "arrogant" to Europe, well, do something about it. You don't want Bush to topple Saddam? Fine. Sign a mutual defence pact with him. You like Yasser that much? Send your mythical Rapid Reaction Force to guard Ramallah. That's what real powers do. But sneering civil servants being patronising about colonials isn't going to cut it. That argument was settled in 1776.

Mark, you da MAN!

[Little Bill]

I had a relitive named FFrench - something, changed it to English, still living as far as I know

[Rocko]

Ping me, baby.

[aculeus]

Fabulous.

(But we expect that from Mark.)

[Pokey78]

You will be pinged from now on. . . . . baby.

[madison46]

I am worthy ! ;-)

[McGavin999]

Whew! Mark just let the EU have it right between the lines. Sounds like he's as fed up with all the whining as we are, only he says it a lot better :o)
