THE VIEW ACROSS THE POND: From Instapundit, a wonderful satire of Eurosnobbery from James Lileks. It defies description, but is the subject of this prescription from Professor Reynolds:
[F]ace the Twin Cities, bow down, and repeat: "We are not worthy. We are not worthy." Say this especially if you are a journalist, and double-especially if you are an American correspondent from a British or Continental newspaper phoning in tripe like the piece that Lileks dissects.
