#2 How's that new EU constitution coming along?
Anything in there about freedom of speech or freedom of the press? Then how about the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures? If not, maybe it's because of a genetic defect of the Eeewws.:)

#3 Let me see if I have this straight. The anti-corruption agency is shutting this guy down for investigating corruption? Burlesconi and Chiraq have both gotten the laws changed so that they can't be proscecuted for corruption. Chirac's best pal's been convicted for using public funds for paying party hacks.

I mean so what's the cut there? What are the payoffs? What percentage do the politocos get? The bureaucats? How hard is it for a Yankee to get a business license there? I think that I just discovered the business oportunity of a lifetime!

#5 With the EU in place will there be another level of required bribes to get something done? It might be easier to do business in Kenya.
