Oh dear. First the German sense of humor gets a poke in the eye. Now the
Dutch get it in the groin. It's really a quite miracle we're only up to
the 2nd World War. Thankfully, most of the nationalistic squawking that
seems to characterize intra-European relations doesn't carry across the
Atlantic to interrupt 24 hour coverage of "The Congressman and the
Missing Intern".
Nevertheless, I'll grant that the British are pretty damn funny. While
in NYC a few weeks ago, I rented a bootlegged copy of Eddie Izzard's
_Dressed to Kill_ and laughed myself to tears. Yanks, if you can get
your hands on an Eddie Izzard video, I highly recommend it.

After these latest effusions from Holland, you Yanks will
appreciate why the great majority of us Brits look westward
to our cousins across the wide Atlantic (as we always have
done) for mutual understanding & enrichment.
Your President was essentially correct when he identified
Belgium as the capital of Europe. And you can see in Brussells
a perfect microcosm of the corruption, conformity & (laughably
ill-founded) conceit that characterises the New Europe.
All this would be enough to deter us from having anything
further to do with what is increasingly obviously a doomed
enterprise. But the real smackeroo, the true killer, what closes
off all further discussion, is the prospect of being exposed,
day in day out, to the inimitable, leaden humour of a load
of jolly, milk-fed Dutchmen.
