France Might Blow Up The World

So pay attention- there's a Presidential election over there and if the other guy wins over Sarkozy, it could be curtains for the Euro.

Also, in the continuing theme of 'wanting things back from Britain' Spain has made it's bi-decadal grumble about Gibraltar known. (Though the corollary to this, as someone points out in Via Meadia's comments is that they should probably return their Morrocan enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.) Interestingly enough, under the terms of the Treaty of Utretcht, the Spanish get a pretty good deal: Gibraltar automatically reverts to Spain should the British want to give up possession.
