I think our agenda is clear. We are opposed to: government spending, Kennedy kids, seat-belt laws, busing our children anywhere other than Yale, trailer courts near our vacation homes, all tiny Third World countries that don't have banking secrecy laws, aerobics, the UN, taxation without tax loopholes, and jewelry on men.

On nous a juré que la Belgique ne survivrait pas à la crise communautaire. Après 541 jours et la patience d'Elio Di Rupo, elle est toujours là. On nous a prédit cent fois la fin de l'euro.
