France opposes Turkey EU membership

The newly installed french foreign minister Michel Barnier has said there is “no question” of Turkey joining the EU “under current circumstances.”

“Barnier’s remarks triggered a furor in the Turkish press and drove Turkish financial markets lower”. (Euractiv)

Turkey has to meet the Copenhagen Criteria by december 2004. But how clear (or vague) are these criteria anyway? Are the Netherlands guaranteeing democratic stability, human rights and protection of minorities?

‘Experiment Geel’ gestaakt

Een dag eerder dan gepland is ‘Experiment Geel’ gestaakt. Dit experiment was bedoeld om de reacties op een gele achtergrondkleur te peilen. In de afgelopen 24 uur zijn verschillende tinten geel losgelaten op de bezoekers van Sargasso.

De reacties waren unaniem negatief en varieerde van: “Auw Tering!” t/m associaties met een kapotte lever. Een bezoeker trok zelfs de scheiding tussen kerk en weblog in twijfel. Het is duidelijk geworden dat geel geen goede achtergrondkleur is.

Binnenkort volgt ‘Operatie Oranje’ op een niet nader aan te noemen datum. Als ‘Operatie Oranje’ slaagt zal Sargasso tijdens het EK in Portugal 3 weken oranje zien. U bent gewaarschuwd…

Bahraini Pit Babes – Part II

Remember the Formula 1 Pit Babes that Mahmood posted on his blog?
Well, Mahmood was called up in the middle of the night and threatened that he should remove the pictures. It had something to do with “the protection of virtue”. Meanwhile the issue is solved:

“It seems that the guy was genuinely disturbed to see his sister in a few of the pictures and says that his sister was upset too. I have now removed the offending pictures and apologise for the inconvenience caused”. (Mahmood’s Den)

[if you remove pit babe pictures, the islamists have already won]
