An exercise in nation branding goes horribly wrong.

"Global warming, we started it"
"We're sorry about the Falklands"
"One small Channel from Despair" (OK, that was a swipe at France)
Better yet, what five words can sum up the NDP experience in Sask?
Any takers?

An Island of endophobic bigots.
All the animals are equal and yet the Irish get Affirmative Action.
PS "Land of Hope and Glory" has been banned from proms etc throughout the UK is my understanding.
Theres no hope or glory under socialism, I guess.

Permaneo vicis inter porcelain?

All I can think of was something already said by Kipling in 1897:
Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget - lest we forget!
