MISBEGOTTEN

Some might call it Expansion Hunger.

Others: Be careful what you wish for. A lot people recognize it for what it really is, just broke. In this case, politically bankrupt.

The trouble with truth it has little traction. It's an unwanted guest, not welcome. Take a gander at Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh for the real lowdown: "The lie of the pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober."

O'Neill's classic is about murder. Murder takes many forms. Kill the fantasies of tomorrow and what is one left with. Just pipe dreams.

And that's what many believe how Euroland will eventually end up, a misbegotten, bumbled, fumbled pipe dream.
