Dear friends and colleagues, |
Hard times for Europe: South European politicians moving out, the Goldman Sachs Brothers moving in, even at the top the European Central Bank. I wonder what the results will be.
Belgium, the new World Champion in government formation, is under great pressure of the AA status and the suggested sex ban for Belgian coalition negotiators. Result: a new coalition. Would this also work in Germany?
From the celebrity front: George Clooney, Cristiano Ronald and Ruby Heartstealer starring on Berlusconi’s witness trial list; the soap in France: Nicolas Sarkozy rejects idea of Strauss-Kahn conspiracy to ruin his presidential ambitions. Will be continued.
The USA celebrated their Thanksgiving Day, I still wonder why the Pilgrim Fathers wanted to leave Leiden in 1621, it must have been the climate and the food, although corn and turkey? |
