...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

About me

User: scaramouche
Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

Walk softly, carry a teensy stick, and, once you've made a complete hash of things, get the Yanks to come in and mop up your mess: The most ridiculous headline/story/assertion you're likely to read in a long time, courtesy, who else?, the New York Times: With Karadzic's arrest, Europe sees Triumph. The supposed triumph? The EU strategy of soft--i.e. wimp--power.

The cynics among us might point to the fruits of this doctrine--two World Wars, the Holocaust, Bosnia, Kosovo and, coming soon to a Levant near you, an Iranian nuke or two poised to obliterate the Zionist entity.

Thanks for the casualties, EUnuchs--about the only thing we can "thank" you for.
