"Jose Manuel Barroso, commission president, warned of a “risk of contagion” spreading across Europe."

The "baccillus of liberty." All infections aren't bad; take infectious laughter, for instance. LOL.

I haven't read the European Anthology er, er, Constitution. A "constitution" of more than 50 type written pages doesn't deserve to be read.

I have a feeling, though, that it wasn't a constitution so much as it was a devise to create job security for the authors. If the US Constitution were such a monstrosity, I suspect James Madison would be spinning in his grave every time someone accused him of being the author.

Jean-Claude Juncker of Luxembourg, presiding over the EU’s Council of Ministers, tearfully suggested that Europe’s voters be asked to vote again “until they get it right”

Oh, gee, I wonder where that brilliant idea came from. Someone's been learning the DNC's moves following losing elections.

"France will be European as long as Europe is French”. When that ceased to apply, “France will dispense with Europe"

Rather puffed up with Froggie self-importance, isn't he?

There is much that Europe does (or doesn't) do with which I totally disagree, but I wouldn't call Europe "French". What has Europe done to deserve being called such a vile name?

"France will dispense with Europe."What an arrogant statement.Do the French feel they're that omnipotent?Maybe Europe should dispense with France.
