From the BBC:
Czech President Vaclav Klaus has signed the European Union's Lisbon Treaty, the final step in its ratification....
I genuinely feel a bit depressed now.

In our darkest hour there is light.........
I comfort myself with the thought of it (Lisbon) pushing the EU a little closer to self-destruction Mark.
David Cameron CAST IRON LIAR.
I think this means war, not the physical kind though God knows a coup might have a lot of support. But war on Cameron and the EUphiles if (as expected) he tries to fudge his way out of this.
UK RIP
Don't - follow the recommendation laid out at my place and let's get this coalition going, win power and then reverse this cr-p.
The liar was Brown, Cameron promised a referendum if the treaty was not ratified. It is disappointing that it was but he was not the one who broke the manifesto promise. In 2007 the 'cast iron promise' was made when there was every sign of an early election before Brown bottles it. I am against the EU as it stands but put the blame where it should be.
Anon, in The Sun article, Dave wrote:
"Today, I will give this cast-iron guarantee: If I become PM a Conservative government will hold a referendum on any EU treaty that emerges from these negotiations. No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum."
Where does he say "if there is an early election"? Where does he say "unless it is already ratified"? I can't see it myself.
Cameron definitely lied. Whether Brown lied depends on whether you believe the Treaty is the same thing as the Constitution (at least debatable).
Nosemonkey has more on the post-Lisbon apocalypse.
EU-turn if you want to:
