Well, since I believe that Europe is lost to Neo-fascism and right-wing extremists, I think there's an interesting program to be undertaken here....

Come over here, guys, in your Fascist Euro-dreamland and pull the plug --once and for all-- on your multicultural Poxyland! I'm rarin' to take care of your house (including your pet animals and relatives). After all, I already read the Travel Guide --O-Zone, by American writer Paul Theroux (no way you'll mess with me!) |
