    GODDAMIT I miss Sarkozy; Sarkozy’s a Frog, but he was born a Hungarian (his folks fled Hungary after the failed 1956 rebellion), and had a much firmer grasp on the realities of power politics and the ultimate failed nature of the euro-entitlement state than this socialist clown…

    Jeez. The guy has more names than most phone books.

    @3. Hey, show some respect. The man is head of state. He’s President Frog.

    @2: Sarkozy got booted out by Hollande; that would make Sarkozy the President Former Frog…

    Fwance recently hit an all-time high in unemployment http://www.france24.com/en/20130724-france-unemployment-hits-new-record-high-jobless-claims which, I am sure, has nothing at all to do with Monsieur Hollande’s idiotic soak-the-rich tax policies. Anyway, he got a boost from the Mali mission, so I can understand how he would be up for intervention in Syria, at least as a distraction from his disastrous domestic policies.

    @10. Well, that would explain why Monsieur Hollande is pursuing the policies that he is. He’s copying the Baracka playbook.

    That has got to be the most vacant empty-headed smile ever. I wonder what he’s on, and where can I buy an ounce?

    Anybody ever seen the video for Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun”?

    He’d fit right in that neighborhood.

    UpNorth-scratch a socialist, find a socialist.

    B Woodman-He’s high on leftism. It’s readily available on almost any college campus (talk is always cheap), but it’s bad stuff-it’ll mess you up!

    France needs the distraction, and a big infusion of cash from America. Past practice was for the US of A to underwrite some, if not all, of other countries costs in war.

    France soaked the rich – up to 100% for France’s richest 8,000 families – and discovered there’s not enough cash laying around in banks to pay for the unions and other social welfare programs. Something that, by the way, Occupy Wallstreet was trying to start in the US of A.
