I've done a courtesy search for the term Europe and the UK for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:
OK, “hate” might be a bit strong, how about the most hypocritical?
Sticking with that truism that you dance with the girl who brought ya, the president will not let go of that class warfare bone. The politics of envy and deflection, worked before, and since there are no magic bullets for what is ailing this economy (from a social European POV) making the rich pay their fair share is as old reliable.
But how … Read more
All great men are dying, it seems:
Václav Havel, the dissident playwright who led the Czechoslovakian “velvet revolution” and was one of the fathers of the east European pro-democracy movement that led to the fall of the Berlin wall, has died aged 75.
The man led a revolution that brought down a communist dictatorship without a shot and then presided over the peaceful division of the country. One by one, we are losing the … Read more
As bad as our government can get, at least it’s not the fucking EU:
EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation
Stop the press. I want us all to pause for a moment and reflect on what we could do with a three-year investigation. Three years. 21 scientists. God knows how much effort. All to find:
Brussels bureaucrats were ridiculed yesterday after banning drink manufacturers from claiming that water can prevent dehydration.

As I have pointed out, we are sooner than later going to have another economic disaster, because the politicians that caused it not only didn’t fix it with a massive expansion of their power to influence which companies are protected by government and which ones can be taken down, and only made it worse, and others seem to agree. In fact it seems even the LSM now is feeling forced to report on that.… Read more
For those that wonder where that came from: it was an Eddie Murphy skit. Basically he is talking about how when he was a kid he got in big trouble – totally his fault – and then wished his mother would get hit by a bus and die. Something like that seems to be playing out in Europe, where the Germans, in the role of the parent, are imposing austerity measures of the Greeks that … Read more
I haven’t blogged much about the looming crisis in the EU primarily because I don’t know what to say. It seems completely out of our hands. The latest is that a deal will be made to preserve the union and bail out the PIIGS. If I were running the place, I’d probably combine the two solutions: pay the PIIGS to leave the EU until they get their houses in order.
However, maybe the European Union … Read more
The WSJ has a fantastic article today on the decline of violence in humanity. You really must read the whole thing.
Violence has been in decline for thousands of years, and today we may be living in the most peaceable era in the existence of our species.

This claim, I know, invites skepticism, incredulity, and sometimes anger. We tend to estimate the probability of an event from the ease with which we can recall
As I discussed in a previous post, scapegoating is nothing new, and despite repeatedly being told that Europeans are more enlightened than foolish Americans (and usually being told this by other foolish Americans), it seems to be a favorite activity over there.
Scapegoating is certainly nothing new in the UK. The sheer amount of petty laws they’ve passed and enforced maybe a couple of times is essentially a symptom of this… a sign of a … Read more
We recently had some discussion on one of our other posts that veered into the topic of Islamic radicalization and the belief that it is all but a given that they will eventually takeover European natures, by democratic elections of all things, as they grow into the bigger population. Some of our resident Europeans assured us that this was all nonsense and blown out of proportion, something that made me wonder how much denial a … Read more
The sad thing about youth is that they have no yardstick for comparison sake, a skewed point of reference. They look at Mr. 90 handicap, his bouncing into walls and his lurch of inertia, and they think this is presidential, too bad.
In Budapest Hungary they just erected a statue of a real president, check it out:
No missile defense batteries for them.
The Statue, appropriately enough will be placed right in the middle of… Read more
