Twenty years ago today was red letter day in the World's history as the Berlin Wall fell it signified the end of the horrific tyranny of communism.
Sadly, however, this political cancer lives on imposed on unwilling victims in two outposts of repression, the sickeningly named Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Cuba with it's morbidly ironic national motto Patria o Muerte which means "Homeland or death".

I *heart* Klaus. Not simply because of his opposition to Lisbon, mostly because of his ability to cut the crap and say things as they are. Below is an excellent example of this.

While you may not agree with his views on global warming, and for the most part I don't, you have to agree that he's spot on about being lectured...

Vatican State Secretary, for Czech Daily MF Dnes said yesterday:
Quote:
"Individual European countries have their own identity. The European Union prescribes its laws or views to them and they must comply with their traditions and history. Some countries are logically resisting this - for example, Ireland. If Europe recognized homosexual couples as equal to marriage, for example, it would go against its own history. And it would be adequate to stand against it. The Church...

On Monday Mary Ellen Synon spoke about Willie O'Dea's weird outburst against Lorraine Mullally of Open Europe.

I was surprised when Cathrine Day came to Ireland, I was uneasy about the commission lecturing to school children, but on the face of what they said they were doing I let it pass. It seems it was a little more than informing children about the functions of the EU but that is being discussed elsewhere.

Anyone done a ' Clearly ''count on Harney ?
I've clocked up 12 in a 5 minute interview .. but I'd say this would be easily beaten as things in politics get more complex.
