    It would be fantastic if the Muslim population kicked the nutters out of the mosques and we all go back to the quiet secularism that makes Europe such a fun place to live.
    Anglican secularism, halcyon daze.

    Trouble stirred up about cartoons (including many fakes) which are several months old.

    Coincidence?
    Not in the least..

    @re: Danish Flags...at the moment they are so rare that they are being auctioned...my shares in the "Danish flag company"are doing very well indeed... Now if some newspaper in Monaco would be kind enough to release a few Muhammad cartoons, I am sure I will be able to retire in relative luxury within a few weeks...

    What do you mean...blood money!?

    Or do you lack such an appellation?

    The Conservative Party is a broad church (or so I have been told) I am sure there would a corner that would welcome you.



    Actually, I can picture you in a comfy chair by the fire in the local pub have a beer with the vicar and discussing how best to get the youth of the village engaged in social issues.




    The vicar quietly steering you away from the cattle prods idea with another beer.

    Hmmm.

    Nothing wrong with beer, I guess.

    On the other hand the UK might make you think that even a US under Hillary is not that bad.







    I may have taken that too far.

    I expect I'd prefer North Korea to Hillary.

    The prospect of being under her conjures......Oh, I'm gonna puke....

    If she manages to get elected President I'll be on your doorstep by January 19th of '09.
