#1 In honor of the French election, I'd like to say three nice things about France.

1) It has better food than North Korea.
2) It has better government than Zimbabwe.
3) Some of the locals know English.

#2 Three nice things I can say about France:

1) There are some Roman-era ruins spread around the country.

2) It houses the Bayeux Tapestry.

3) Most of all, it's the resting place of a hell of a lot of Americans who gave their lives to deliver the French the freedom they couldn't hold onto.

#4 Did the Americans die to secure the French freedoms or to defeat the Nazi's and the French happened to benefit from that action? It sounds like nit-picking but I bet the average Frenchman's answer these days would be different than their answer in 1945 and different from the answer of an American.

#5 Does the uncle have a gun, does he have friends he can call, if so CALL THEM NOW, NOT THE POLICE the police are obviously too afraid to help, you're on your own.

#7 FOX/CNN > AL GORE is reportedly contacting his Year 2000 campaign team, telling them to seriously evaluate and advise on viability to run for POTUS again in 2008, or not. As for the current FRENCH ELEX, methinks its safe to say that how the US DemoLeft work, organize, or compete agz each other, etc. for 2008 will essens happen for the French Left as well. HILLARY prefers or desires a Bill-style MSM resume, i.e. eight yarns of MSM-verified US-specific relative geopol "quiet" + national prosperity, vv anti-Repub Repub = Repub anti-Repub economy. ergo SEGOLENE DESIRES A SIMILAR "QUIET" = "PROSPERITY" THINGY FOR FRENCH/EURO-SOCIALISM, OR AT LEAST NO 9-11's as did in America???
