Bear asks Fox, not to Defecate in Woods

There is hyprocrisy and then there is the EU.

The European Union trade chief on Monday urged Washington to make deeper cuts in farm subsidies to ensure that stalled global trade talks can be successfully concluded this year.
Now I would never let my disgust with the EU cloud from me the reality that US farming subsidies are also a complete disgrace. The EU lecturing others on the topic of agriculture is like John Prescott giving lessons in fidelity. Cut ours unilaterally and then we have some credibility on the matter, not to mention cheaper food.

What do you expect from an institution that claims to be all about efficiency (in trade and international relations), but has two parliamentary seats?
There's a petition to have the EU Parliament sit in one place - http://www.oneseat.eu/
