Thanks for filling me in on the participants. And, for the record, I didn’t mean to demean Dr. Dauber in any way up there.

Kikuchiyo – here’s the info about the debate: “’Resolved: That John Kerry should replace George Bush in the White House.’ This year’s Great Debate features Susan Winkler and Chris Wonnell, both graduates of the class of 1979, and the first of five Northwestern teams to win the Copeland Award, a prestigious debate award created in 1974. Joining them on stage will be 1980 National Debate Tournament Champions Don Dripps and Tom Fulkerson.”

Some friends and I commemorated the occasion with an Old Europe-New Europe pairing: a Fourme d’Ambert cheese and a 2000 Vesztergombi Szekszardi Cabernet Sauvignon. I am happy to report that the two went very well together. :-)

Debate… Which alums were debating? And who debated for the negative— Cori Dauber?

Please forgive the following, it doesn’t really relate to EU enlargement… If anyone is interested in swapping Gmail names, I might be willing. I accidentally got stuck with EUROPE and am experiencing ‘unintentional buyer’s remorse’. Again, sorry about the spam, never happen again.

I’m actually still feeling pretty directly affected by Hungary’s accession to the EU, but give me another few hours and I’ll have recovered from last night’s celebrations with my favourite magyar mates. Paris was a lame place to celebrate it all though, and we were all wishing to be at the street parties in Dublin or Budapest. The most amazing thing about it all is that just over 14 years ago 8 of the 10 new countries were communist dictatorships with basket case economies. Things still seem far from ideal, but it’s miraculous how relatively smooth the transition has been.
