President Obama will join other G8 leaders today at the posh, French seaside resort of Deauville. On the agenda: proposed global regulations for the Internet, post-tsunami Japan, and military escapades in North Africa. Bizarrely absent from the top priorities listed by hosting head of state Nicolas Sarkozy is the most urgent issue of all: the need to rein in massive government over-spending and debt.[Unfortunately, their attention will be elsewhere. Internet regulation, for one thing. Sarkozy calls it a "moral imperative" needed to "correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules."
Translation... "Remember rubes, you can't say and show anything that makes us look bad. Stupid serfs."
