the clincher

well... governments rise and fall. shit happens.

but i've had an epiphany. at this point there is nothing left to do but throw the rag in, and move to the far east. bite the bullet and have lots of euroasian children. because frankly, this is the result. and it doesn't appear to be a one off. and frankly, i think it's worth the sacrifice of a cashew here. and there. when it comes to globalization you have to take the good with the bad.

suddenly i feel a lot better about having to wake up in 4 hours to cover more italian political WANK.
