A Message From the E. B. C., or (European Broadcasting Company)
To whom it may or may not concern,
Our attempts at making Brussels, Belgium the "fourth" Rome, have resoundingly failed today. Please, with all due respect, do not tell those greedy bastards in the U.S. It seems our fervent effort at making one big, liberal, social, welfare bureacracy out of a bunch of smaller welfare bureacracies went down to a second defeat today.
We really wanted to call it the European Union, but we all knew it was going to be another empire. An empire with a president, an anthem, a capital, but we were not really sure about an army though, hmmm? We know what we are doing when it comes to empire building (don't think our accusations thrown at the U.S. in Iraq are baseless, we know of which we speak), just take for example: the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, do not forget that we were eventually going to include Turkey which was once part of the Ottoman Empire, see the pattern. To be fair there have been others, but those we do not like to speak about like the First and Second French Empires, and who could forget the Third Reich, those were led by bad people and we would not let that happen again. We swear.
Well, its back to the drawing table, as they say. We are not sure where everything went wrong. We were positive the world needs a new super power. It looks like the U.S. is having way too much fun. And our constitution is just like the Americans, except you guys had 7 articles while we would have 448. Everything was going so smoothly. Every parliament up until this weekend was overwhelmingly approving the darn thing and then those silly French had to put it to referendum. We will know better next time to not let the people speak for the smarter politicians. Now we firmly cry for a "do-over".
See ya' on the world stage soon,
Jack and Gerry and maybe even Tony, someday
