Another One From The WHO GIVES A RAT'S POSTERIOR SECTION ABOUT EURO 2008 Department

Here's a Reuters story about another case of "Who Gives A Rat's Posterior Section" on the part of Austrians as far as their status for their country's co-hosting next month's EURO 2008 tournament is concerned:

In a capital famed for its imperial architecture, world-class art museums, traditional black-tie balls and classical music, talk of Euro 2008 is still largely greeted with bewilderment or indifference by most Vienna locals.

"We are not a footballing nation -- we are a winter sport nation," said Dariusz Hoefer, 47, a city-centre shop owner.

Student Christian Hofstadler, 21, agreed.

"I don't really know anyone that bothered about Euro 2008. I guess the Austrian football team is to blame -- they have been very weak historically," he said.

Maybe these Viennese would be better off if they took a month-long siesta.
