'The architect of the EU's proposed constitution, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, has told the New York Times he believed Mr Chirac was to blame for the French "No".
He said it was a crucial mistake to send every French voter a copy of the 448-article document which was "not possible for anyone to understand" in full.'
Well, it's obvious isn't it - you can't trust voters making an informed decision when the decision should have been rubber stamped for them LOL. Umm, Monsieur, surely the problem was putting together a 448 page constitution in the first place? If no one can understand it in full, then what was the point of putting it together? Streamlining the EU pfft yeah right.
And the debate over the British rebate or French agricultural subsidies, surely common sense would say to scrap both of them? And I can't believe I posted such an inane, bureaucratic and boring question on my blog LOL. Boring yes I know I can do, but EU subsidy boring? Aargh!
And here was another story I spotted that made me grin - as the US sends troops over to Iraq to be shot at and shoot back and beat up locals and all in all do a manly job about everything, their North American neighbours (the ones north of the 49th parallel) have just had their first gay wedding - ohhh canadaaaa indeed :)
Grr, even though I'm not as fanatic about State of Origin as I used to be, it still is annoying for NSW to be this far ahead with twenty minutes to play (26 to 12) and for fecks sake, I don't need to hear Phil Gould's take on it. And yes, I can give credit to Andrew Johns having a good game, but doesn't he look about forty five or something LOL.
