red ken is labour through and through. before labour became another conservative party that is. they had to let him back in the party because it would have been too embarassing for blair when red ken trounced another labour candidate in the next mayoral election. this is gonna be great.

Blair: I'll take Britain into euro by 2007
By Andrew Grice, Political Editor
07 January 2004

Tony Blair has set a target of 2007 to take Britain into the euro, and wants the Government to agree to a public pledge to secure membership by that date.

The move suggests the Prime Minister intends to call a referendum soon after the general election, which is expected in May or June next year. Although he has insisted he would serve a full third term if Labour retains power, some ministers expect him to stand down after such a referendum.

A changeover plan drawn up by the Treasury envisages a four-month gap between the Cabinet's decision to call a referendum and the plebiscite. If the public were to vote in favour, there would be a delay of between 24 and 30 months before euro notes and coins became legal tender. The pound would operate alongside the euro for six months while it was phased out. This plan means that Mr Blair could achieve his goal of membership in 2007 by holding a referendum in the autumn of next year

that's great. the voters turn something down, but then the 'we know better than you' liberals just keep trying to force it through.

WILBUR, Wash. - Federal workers using a vacant slaughterhouse in rural Eastern Washington began killing a herd of calves that included the offspring of a Holstein infected with mad cow disease whose bloodlines were traced to Canada.

Froupie:
i think we should ditch the euro and the pound and all get the canadian dollar. then we'll be rich, rich, rich.

Ah, a topic of great currency. I like the euro, if just for the convenience. The austrian shilling was a disaster, let me tell you. Still, britain should not have its monetary policy determined by a frenchman in frankfurt.

I had a creepy, skin crawling experience last night. After KCQ practice, Chris and I walked across the street to the Metropolitan bar for my friend hank's birthday party. We stayed too late and I drove him home and I told my other friend that was there that I would drive him back to Manhattan. The WB Bridge was under attack or something becasue they weren't letting anyone on the bridge, but holding traffic there. I turned around to drive my friend to the subway and I went the wrong way and ended up in Crown Heights or something, I'm not even sure. So we drove up to a redlight and on the opposite corner was this really tall skinny Hasid, just standing there all creepy and dark. He was staring in our car at us and we were screaming. He wouldn't walk anywhere, he was just standing on the corner. He was like 7 feet tall.
