Mickey Mouse Parliament? EU train to Strasbourg takes wrong turn, ends up at Disneyland
A gaudy tourist attraction that costs millions to maintain ... was the train’s desired destination.ON A (DIFFERENT) TRAIN FROM BRUSSELS TO STRASBOURG — A train carrying hundreds of MEPs and European Parliament officials briefly ended up at Disneyland on Monday, after taking the wrong turn on the way to Strasbourg.
It was an incident that will do nothing to deter those who deride the institution as a Mickey Mouse Parliament.
Every month the European Parliament charters trains exclusively for lawmakers and EU officials to get them between its two seats in Brussels and Strasbourg, in eastern France.
It’s a monthly upheaval that is enshrined in EU treaties and is fiercely defended by France but often scoffed at as a traveling circus in which Goofy would be proud to participate.

Austria’s former chancellor on trial for allegedly misleading corruption inquiry
Sebastian Kurz, former ‘wunderkind’ of Europe’s conservatives, said he is innocent and condemned ‘politicisation’ of case
Austria’s former chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, insisted he was innocent as he went on trial for allegedly giving false testimony to an inquiry into corruption scandals that have rocked the country.Once hailed as a “wunderkind” of Europe’s conservatives, Kurz is the highest-profile figure implicated in a series of scandals. The case marks the first time in more than 30 years that a former chancellor has stood trial.
Kurz stepped down as chancellor two years ago after a string of allegations against him, including allegedly spending public money for favourable media coverage.
It marked a spectacular fall for the charismatic hardliner, who in 2017, at the age of 31, became the world’s youngest democratically elected head of government.

Oh look, it’s Santorum (Noun. santorum (uncountable) (neologism, sex, slang) A frothy mixture of lubricant and fecal matter as an occasional byproduct of anal sex.)
“And you put very “SEXY” things like ABORTION & MARIJUANA on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote and it was ... it was a secret sauce of disaster for Ohio. I don’t know what they were thinking but that’s why I .. thank goodness for most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because ... PURE DEMOCRACIES ARE NOT A WAY TO RUN A COUNTRY.”
