It was inevitable that this would be done. Fair play, it's very good. The parallels are rather disturbing imo.

Well, if you listen to the little man, at one point he mentions 'Ich habe ganz Europa erobert' - I've conquered all of Europe. It might have been even more disturbing if the subtitle had been able to work that in somehow...

Perhaps, and I wonder how Patricia McKenna would also fit in there. I see her as Josef Stalin. She has bite. I like looking at her talk. She's exciting.

A Fairytale of Lisbon

ibis and Patricia McKenna up a tree
Holding the Lisbon Treaty
K-I-S-S-I-NG!

First comes accession
Then comes integration
Then comes Patricia pushing a co-decision package!

enjoy it while you can folks - I have stepped out my usual circle this weekend - am down in Carlow where a month ago - everybody was voting no for lots of reasons having fuck all to do with the treaty - there is a serious case of buyers remorse going around - while CF and others seek reinforcement in other fringe blogs from various fringe operations in other EU states (the fact remains - If the French and others were so unhappy with the Treaty - they would be out burning cars in the street - which they patently are not)

Lisbon is dead - what it contains is not - and no amount of bitching about "elites" etc etc is going to divert democratically elected governments from bringing these into play if they are in the best interests of their nations - our problem is that the Yes campaign ran quite possibly the most inept useless and incompetent campaign in history - and the rest of Europe wants to know why and rightly so.

Personally - I would love Brian Cowen to say to the rest of Europe - "lads we're out for the moment - we're in a total tizz about abortion,consription,taxation and all those other things that weren't in this treaty - we're a bit full of ourselves at the moment and have reasumed our holier than thou status in regard to international relations - just dont cut us off completely" - I think EEA status would suit us perfectly - we wont have to comprise anymore on social and environmental concerns and we wont have Europe to blame anymore either - which will be quite a shock to the Irish system - we always need to somebody to blame, be it Britain, Europe or the US - we are badly in need of the self administered therapy of having to look at ourselves and the choices we make - in the mirror and face up to these ourselves - it will be good for us.

Still - Im damn glad I've held on to my US green card and French passport!
