  2. EUR/USD 1.37 04:25

    Hopefully one or 2 countries can create some type of crisis over the next 5 years to drive down the Euro against the dollar so some of us can jettison out of the US. Other than southern FL and CA, this country is really turning into a dump.
     
  3. Anybody have any interesting ideas for what sorts of conditions Germany can impose on Ireland?

    Candidates:
    1) Ireland must convert to German as their national language.
    2) Guinness must be immediately outlawed and the benighted populace must be forced to enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of Warsteiner and Beck's.

  5. Detroit is a really nice area, as well.

    You have 932 homes for sale that are $5,000 and under.
     
  6. Or what about the Irish rugby team being forced to move to and play for Germany?

    Brian O'Driscoll and Ronan O'Gara get brand spanking new German names and Germany, at long last, wins the Six Nations.

    Imagine that...
