Another Thought on the Political Thing. Last One, I Swear.

Infamously, current Prime Minister Yves Leterme once said that the only things Belgians had in common were “the king, the national football team and certain brands of beer.”

When I read that, I knew Belgium would be all right. The king seems like a nice dude. Soccer is huge, even if Belgium's not all that good at it lately. And if beer can't keep a country together, nothing can.

It's more than Missouri and Kansas have in common, frankly.
