Official Madness

In an act of mind-boggling fatuousness, the European Union has designated Irish Gaelic as the EU's 21^st official language and is spending £460,000 on translations, despite the fact that all the Irish MEPs speak fluent English.

Twenty one "official" languages in a union that has only 25 members? That's as much as saying the EU has no official language.

Well, maybe this will do for the EU what it did for Babel.
