Thirteen nights until our 'NO' to Europe: other than this, the euro didn't screw up our wallets

Enlightening, isn't it? (Via EU Rota, reprinted with permission.)

Meanwhile, the Dutch government is digging itself in, threatening to ignore the result of the referendum if it doesn't suit them. At least, secretary Verdonk, whom I used to respect, said that. They legally can do that, since it is not a binding referendum. However, a majority of Parliament have chosen to respect the results.

This may well mean the government intends to make a final stand by challenging Parliament, and especially the parties that support it: do what the government wants, or live with the fall of the current administration.

It's sickening, really.

I think you posted the image with incorrect dimensions. As a result it's a bit of a blurry scale.

For the uninitiated: Consumer Price Index and Gross Domestic Product.

The dimensions are fine, it's simply the unfortunate result of having used a screen grab program, then having to scale it to a width of 380 pixels in SnagIt. The blurring is a result of the algorithm in that program, and the added jpeg compression. I don't have the time to continue tweaking it, so this will have to do.

I noticed you scaled it, no problems with that. But the image itself is 380x228 while you specify 380x268 in the HTML, adding to the distortion.

Damn, that's just plain weird, since I didn't add any width tags! MT must have been creative when importing the picture. I've changed it, thanks.
