Right now I am in the States and am wondering if Belgium still has a government. It is interesting that you really see no coverage here about the dysfunctional politics that is so Belgium. News about the hung England's hung Parliament made the news over here. News commentators actually air time discussing the situation. But Belgium? Nada. Zip. Nothing. Isn't Belgium important to the world? Or rather, isn't the state of affairs important in Brussels? After all Brussels is the capital of the European Union. The Parliament is is right across the street from me. Special interest groups and lobbyists flock to this city. Yet no one cares all that much.
What if one day Belgium splits into Flanders and Wallonia and Brussels remains some sort of neutral territory. If this should happen, don't worry, both Flanders and Wallonia brew some awesome beer
