Embarrassing to the max!
Time these jokers learnt not to let their dogma run over their karma.
At least our last President, Vaclav Havel, listened to the Dalai Lama and hung out with Mick Jagger and Lou Reed..
How we miss our Velvet President! [Many of us, anyway!]

We Americans understand them because they are simple and honest countries, the dull peasant lands from which our forefathers fled.
But what of the strange, exotic, complex nations like Slovokia, Czechia, Slovo-Czechia, upper Volta, middle Volta, low Volta, Malta, Yalta, Bulgaria and Hungaria, Macadonia and Moldavia and Mordor, - what meaning does their twisted political landscape hold for an American?
Good question!
And the answer is,

What's your preference - gender-wise and style-wise?
You want to start with a hot dark-haired Spanish beauty and finish up with an Irish redhead?
Or shall we provide a varied assortment of eurosceptics for your pleasure??
We'll also provide a handbook on European etiquette - sub-divide by nations - for you and require you to be polite and appreciative and protected.
Especially protected - after all is said and done we wouldn't want a lot of little bastards running around here, would we?
