So this guy's more like Peyton Randolph then.

Well...we still considered ourselves part of Britain when he was President.

It's nice that he was chosen as president, now all of Europe can enjoy his boring and uneventful style of politics and have all problems buried and repressed like a bad case of childhood abuse.
The real problem is that now we have to get a new prime minister, if they chose that cretin Leterme I'm going to throw a hissy fit.

Also, the baronnes reminds me of those molerats in Fallout 3.

A Belgian?  Does Belgium even have a national government anymore?
They had until now. That guy to be exact. But now they'll have fun picking a new guy. Can only take a year or two. ;)

with luck it'll take forever, meaning that the franco's finally broke the camel's back

Well, so much for the EU Presidency being relevant and independent.  :cry:
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

It is the fastest way to dismantle this failed nation

The EU is becoming a caricature of itself.

Oh it was never going to amount to anything.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

This is pathetic.  If Europe ever wants to be taken seriously then we need to stop appointing low countries' PMs and Foreign Ministers to serious people and get some guys with some clout up there.

I also think if we want to be taken seriously we should avoid people with the name 'van Rumpy' :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

I think we can feel assured that at least one group of people are absolutely delighted with the choice of president........British tabloid headline writers  :D

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

So let me guess: the big guys could not agree who should get this potentially revolutionary position, and thus they gave it to a nobody, who will make the position utterly pointless, then proceeded to make the same with the perhaps even more important FM position, foiling any attempt to make the EU look like an entity to be taken seriously.

Where is the news? :(

It's like the Holy Roman Empire.  :lol:

Same could be said about NATO and appointing Danes.
