Bad Weather; Bad EuroPolitics?

Did anyone ever wonder whether all the Gaffe Politiques that come out of Brussels are a result of the terrible terrible weather? Though we've had a couple of bright sundays, they weather is starting to look grayer than ever... And so my fear for things betting worse grows. The financial turmoil is bringing Europe to the drawing board for solutions. Sometimes I can't help but think that senior European political figures are adversely affected by this terrible weather. With months to go before the European Elections, and the establishment of a new College of Commissioners; political activity is growing, and so is the margin for political maladministration. Maybe we should shoot atmosphere altering shells into the sky to clear the clouds... Just like in the Olympic Games- only all year around. Better weather, happier politicians, happier Europe.
