In A Nutshell

Spotted in Radio Netherlands' press review:

A Dutch politician (who happens to be Geert Wilders--that freaking guy is everywhere) suggested publically that the Prime Minister should raise discussions on merging with the northern parts of Belgium (Flanders). Flemish is spoken in these parts, which is basically a dialect of Dutch.

One of the responses on a Flemish website: "If Flanders joins up with that people of busybodies, violent hooligans, murdering youths and nuts them I'm joining an armed rebellion! It's bad enough being with the Dutch at the same camp site! A union with Morocco or Mongolia would be better. There they don't pee against church walls and they don't eat fried croquettes from snack vending machines. The Dutch are authoritarian and lazy and they'll take over and push us out of leading positions. What's more, they don't have any manners and are certainly not friendly. If a Dutchman hasn't screwed you over then it's only because he forgot to."

That's probably the funniest thing I've read all month. But I do have to say that I regularly come across the scent of urine in alleyways...
