Oui, on peut! Ja, we kunnen!


Yes, we can. Since the raging Belgian political crisis (no government for 230 days and counting) may be sliding by under your radar, I call your attention to an article on the crisis and what some Belgians are doing to protest the failure of their elected officials to actually…well, do what they were elected to do: govern. I appeal to all the leftover campus radicals and the never-had-a-chance-to-be-a campus radicals to join the protest and grow a beard for Belgium. It may not make much of a difference to the politicians who refuse to step up to the plate, but at least you can sleep the extra few minutes you would otherwise spend shaving every morning.

Lest 230 days not mean much to you as a period of time, let me remind you that the Belgian elections were on June 10, 2010 - before we moved back to the States from Belgium. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Does that mean no laws have been passed, no taxes levied, and no taxes collected? hmmmm...
