It’s wonderful to be here,
It’s certainly a thrill.

You want the USA cheep. Just take on the 9 Trillion in new Obama Spending, and you can have New York for free.

The USA is joining Europe in poverty. Kinda nice to see our jobless rate rise about 8% and approach yours in the double digit range.

I was wondering what that variation of the Sgt. Pepper’s lyric had to do with the subject matter, until I realized the uncanny resemblance between the album cover and the pictures of the Porvoo Diet.

No thanks, if we have to take a school system in the bargain that doesn’t teach peeple to spel right.

Did you check out the original finnish translation? Good grief, Alexander said the r-word. Call Johan Bäckman and flower-hatted aunties immediately.

The problem is that all too few people probably know anything about the context of the Diet of Borgå these days, given that those wise heads (!) at the Education Board don’t seem to think it necessary that any history pre-1809 should be taught in our schools.

And still here in the home town of the diet, the controversy over how the 200th anniversary was celebrated rumbles on…
