Rec for Color TV Addicts
We don't have a functioning color cable TV here in London...
But somehow I caught a glimpse of this show and we have been watching it online - as you can too.
Apparently it's "all the rage" here in the UK.
And I concur that it's been decent so far - at least in the handful of episodes I've seen.
Here it is - Line of Duty.
BTW, one needs a TV license to even own a television here. And it is cheaper for a black and white TV!!!! ($250 for color, but only about $80 for your antiquated B&W Zenith).
Amsterdam - The Sodom of Post-Christian Europe?

Last week we traveled to Amsterdam.
Read my post - Amsterdam Trip!
I did not take that pic above.
On one of our last days there, walking through Leidseplein Square I noticed some nasty dude walk up to what I assumed was a phone booth or something, he looked around, snuggled right up to it and what from I could tell....TOOK A PISS.
It didn't look like the pic above that I gleaned from the web - it looked much less like a urinal so I was shocked. My wife wanted to "throw up".
But what could be more disgusting than watching guys IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED SQUARE, furiously shaking their last drops out!
No where to wash the hands either. (Actually most guys never do it anyway.)
I guess they figure these guys, Amsterdam stoner neanderthals, are going to just piss on the street anyway so they may as well attempt to pre-empt or manage it.
Most people get real close too. Think about how nasty that is, getting so close to all that splattered piss!
BTW, the streets in the morning were littered with trash. They actually have to HOSE them down each day - or at least after the weekends.
One thing we've learned here in Europe....is not to step in the morning puke that's all over the sidewalks!
My kids are young so every once in a while I had to *keep them moving* so they didn't see the *female insertion pleasure devices* in the store windows or the postcards that prominently featured pierced nether regions.
It wasn't that bad really but I do stand by my title.
One thing that I did find offensive - deliberately offensive at that - as a "let's talk about s*x" exhibit at the science museum.
It was sort of cordoned off, but the inside of it was fully visible to the hundreds of 7 and 8 year olds visiting.
Well done Holland!
It just isn't necessary. But they do it anyway, pervs to make a statement, to normalize their own deviations, and to corrupt kids.

Moving To London
Yeah. That's going to be our new residence in the South Kensington area of London. We are boarding the plane in a few hours.
Why?
To get away from Obamacare of course!
Kidding...
We orchestrated an ex-pat deal for my wife. So she will work there for around 12 months - I wouldn't imagine it being any longer, but who really knows.
The main reason is so that our kids can see a bit of Europe, i.e. educational reasons. We plan on traveling across the "Continent" often because flights from Europe, to Europe, are relatively cheap.
Almost every single person has said, "I'm jealous....it will be a great experience....and I'll come visit you there."
First of all, they weren't invited!
Secondly, most of these trash-talkers have never even visited us in NYC - which also happens to be A, if not THE, most amazing city on this overheated, freezing, doomed planet. And in NY they (theoretically) have free board.
Whatever.
We only have 1,500 sq feet and 3 bedrooms in our "flat". How much do y'all think that costs on a monthly basis? (Warning - it will turn your stomach.)

Our DMV, A Well-Oiled Machine?
That is a rip on Spain's government.
I think it's only really funny for those who've experienced the notoriously anti-business Euro-bureaucracy.

Nipping Mind Liberation In The Bud

But guess what...
Swedish blondes, however non-smart they might be, none of will ever achieve their full intellectual potential. That's because homeschooling has recently been banned in Sweden!
Here's the killer line from the article:
Himmelstrand said there are only about a hundred homeschooling families in the whole country, but these are "one hundred too many for Swedish authorities."

Those Compassionate Europeans!

Obviously this is hearsay, but I found what the New York Sun had to say about Eliot Spitzer rather funny:
He has told friends and associates that he is consoled by passersby who stop him on the city sidewalks and tell him that sex is "no big deal" and that the disclosure that he frequented prostitutes was distorted out of proportion, the source said. Europeans, the former governor has noted, have been especially supportive of him and perplexed by the fallout from the scandal.
