On the European Union
Found this gem while going through my high school's quotable quotes archive:
"Let each country run what they're good at. Germany can run the central bank. Great Britain can run the military -- not France. France can be in charge of food. And Italy. But Italy shouldn't be in charge of anything. The Spanish are in charge of parties, and the work week. And the Scandinavians are in charge of the general bureaucracy! *pauses* Is that politically correct? It's not racist -- they're all white!"
--My comparative government teacher, on how the EU *should* be run
