As much as any analysis of the Constitution is possible at all, then the final one must be that she was a puzzle draped in an enigma. Even those closest to her admitted that she was difficult to read and even harder to interpret. Despite all earnest attempts to present her as something coherent and friendly, she remained stubborney opaque and inpenetrable; a capricious, whimsical, moody, temperamental, volatile, eccentric, arbitrary, erratic, fickle, inconstant coquette whose last act of defiance is to take her unfathomable mysteries with her to the grave.(via Instapundit)
The Constitution will be greatly missed by her many friends and admirers, and especially those among them who believed her to be the lifetime meal ticket they were yearning for.
Details will be published shortly of all ecumenical, humanist, non-denominational memorial services to be held in Brussels and Strasbourg.

I've been trying to have a laugh about the EU Constitution on my own blog, but the truth is I don't believe the Constitution is dead as in "not going to happen" dead. It's only dead in the minds of most of the EU populace, which is as nothing when compared with the opinions of a few elites who make all the decisions in the EU.
It may still come into force.
Eagle:
I'm genuinely optimistic that the Constitution is no Norwegian Blue but is irreversibly dead.
