Extracting the EUrine

To be honest I thought that David Carr's short satire "Truth" was just a bit too bitter to be true, and so to be funny. I owe Mr Carr an apology, as this BBC article shows, they really are reporting opposition to the Euro as being based on xenophobia and greed. Perhaps listening to the radio when waking up before going to work doesn't find me at my most critical, unlike this reader.

It seems that the Finnish minister of Finance made his first purchase using Euros, at a casino. I found it amusing.
