Olli Rehn – Wants to break the independancy of the European members
Olli Rehn wants to check and approve the budgets of the European member states.
Looks like he is going for the ‘United State of Europe’ stepping over the European Parliament, every constitution and agreement with member states.
Randy Newman
I went to a Randy Newman concert last night. It had been a while since he visited our small town lasttime.

Rany Newman
It was a great concert. His voice was surprisingly good. He doesn’t reach the high notes anymore, but then again he was never known for the Pavaroti type singing voice.

The European Commission has decided that the US should have access to transaction data of Europeans on the Swift network. Nobody asked the national parliaments, nobody asked the European parliament. Who is being screwed?

The fire is going out in the Netherlands
Essent is sold to RWE.[Link to article]
The Netherlands only has four major energy companies. Essent is one of the biggest.
Every country in Europe understands the importance of being not to dependant on other countries when it is about energy. The Dutch government is going another path and is selling the fire of it’s economy. Next in line for being sold, within a couple of weeks, is Nuon which is the second biggest energy company.
BBC NEWS | Business | Norway tops gender equality list
The Netherlands seems to be in the European top of the number of men and women working part time. A poll also showed that a large part of the Dutch women (married and single, with and without children) did not want to work more than 3 days.
What does that say?
