Britain to shelve vote on EU constitution

After being soundly voted down by French and Dutch voters the EU Constitution will not have the same oppourtunity in the United Kingdom. The British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw will inform parliament that legislation to enable a referendum will be frozen.
So the Euro's can't even get along long enough to get their constitution passed. Boo-Hoo! The real story here is not the failure of the voters to pass the constitution but rather that the Euro's thought they could all get along.
So Germany has failed for the third time to conquer Europe.

Nice tongue in cheek close. Weren't we hearing just months ago how the mighty Euro was trumping the dollar? Check the exchange rates today, and also check the Rand vs the $. Sweet for me since I'll be in SA in a few weeks!
