Update on the Collapse of Iceland
The Icelandic economic and political catastrophes of recent months have seemed to mellow to a degree; however, the fact that nearly 60% of voters still support joining the EU and abandoning the historical currency, the krona, suggests the populace is still much more willing to give up their freedom than their morning latte.
Professor Gylfi Zoega suggests Iceland must not only join the EU and adopt the euro almost immediately in order to prevent the nation from becoming at all self-reliant, but also that foreign leadership would be preferable to domestic politicians, none of which it seems are able enough to lead the nation in this time of tribulation. I would have to agree, considering that Icelanders must be quite incapable of governing themselves, seeing as they have managed to thrive on an island named “Ice-land” in the middle of the North Atlantic for centuries nearly completely cut off from the outside world.

RE: Hello, Old Chum
After a time, once the fire had subsided and only a few passionately committed embers still burned, Adam the Bruce leaned back in his chair and the faint hint of of a smirk began in the corner of his mouth. “The question is, are we man enough not to do it for our health? To tell you the truth, I’m not sure I am.” He cast a sideways glance and the smirk sprang to life. “Hell. It’s high time we got started on this gaw’damned project anyhow. What should we name her? Or do I hafta run this boogerin’ two bit show all by myself?”
The Bruce could see he had struck a nerve. Don Lando hated having his manhood questioned, but in the moment he couldn’t tell which way The Bruce had taken the argument. Vile wine, he thought, I needed two more when we scraped the jug bottom.’
“I see as you’ve left me without a choice,” Lando said, regaining composure, “make your case and let’s have out with it. How’s this to be? I rabble at you and you bluster at me, eh? Any topic’s fair but wives and golf?
