The Third Man In France

France, like most European nations and like the United States is experiencing a world in which those with wealth become wealthier while the middle class shrinks and the number who are poor increases. Conservative President Sarkozy is a French version of Mitt Romney who preaches the doctrine that lower taxes and never saying nasty things will encourage those with wealth to create more jobs.  The French presidential race is becoming confused due to the candidacy of Jean-Luc Melenchon who is now the voice of anti-capitalism

He blames “Anglo Saxon” ideas of competition as the source of all economic evil in the world. “Les Anglo Saxons”and their “stinking money” are the source of unemployment in France. “We can put our belief in love and humanity above the religion of competition.” Jean-Luc wants France to leave the European Union, end free trade agreements, give more to the middle class and so on.

I believe in Socialism. I also recognize there is no contradiction between believing in socialism and also supporting competition. Competition is not the problem, it is uncontrolled competition which creates problems. France must stimulate competition which leads to a ripple effect of more jobs and higher pay for the poor and middle classes.

Strauss-Kahn And Females–Again!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is undoubtedly a very intelligent man, he is renowned for his ideas on economics and has served key roles in France and the world that deal with economic factors in society. But, for some reason, when a woman enters his life, action moves from the brain toward lower extremities of his body. In a word, this is a man who allows the PENIS to assume control of actions.

He is being charged by the French police with “aggravated organized procurement of prostitutes.” Prostitution is legal in France but organizing the process of supplying females to males is not Kosher. Dominique is rather confused about the entire situation.  He claims that he “never had the least awareness that the women he met could have been prostitutes.”

I guess this rather small chubby man is very attractive to women–that is, women who like short, chubby men.

Sarkozy-”Get Lost You Bastard!”

Nicolas Sarkozy is frightened of losing his bid for re-election as president of France. So, what better strategy than to shift to the right and seek support from bigots and haters? On a recent tour in rural France, the president was approached by a farmer and his wife. The wife noted how difficult were the lives of hard working farmers. He insisted she had plenty. “But, we don’t have wha you have in the bank.. we have nothing… we’re living hand to mouth.” He responded: “And, I don’t own 40 hectares. OK” The president of France than turned to the husband and said: “get lost you sad bastard.”

This man seeks to become leader of a nation. On his trip to Paris, Sarkozy blasted Muslim youth by  describing them as “louts” and “rabble.” I assume these verbal attacks will secure votes from hating right wingers, but what do his words say about a man who wants to lead a nation?

No More Foreigners!

These days the last resort to bigots seeking public office is to shift emphasis from economic matters to the most vital aspect of a nation–the presence of “foreigners.” We all know that having foreigners enter our fair land inevitably leads to the collapse of a society. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is down in the polls in his quest to become re-elected as head of the nation. His Socialist challenger, Francois Hollande is ahead by nearly ten points. So, how to capture the attention is what most concerns the current leader of France.

Sarkozy appeared on TV this week to announce he has discovered the solution to economic problems in France, reduce by half the number of foreigners allowed in the country. He insists there simply are “too many foreigners in France.” I get it, prevent 80,000 foreigners from entering the country and that will enable millions of unemployed people to get a job.

My problem in discussing such issues is a failure in math. Some how, I believe other solutions might reduce unemployment. At least my math leads to that conclusion.

Rick Stands For Ignorance-For You, Not Him!

One usually does not know how to interpret remarks from Rick Santorum. He denounced Obama goals of helping youth to secure a college education as symbolic of the manner in which a “snob” regards those without higher education. Rick’s mother has two college degrees, his father has a college degree, he has three college degrees and his wife has a BA along with a law degree. I assume he comes from a family of snobs.

Oh, I forgot that grandpa worked in the coal mines. I assume from Rick’s view is my grandfather worked with his hands and lacked college education that removes the snob characteristic of me going to college.

I suggest that Rick Santorum get a job picking strawberries and forget about running for president. In 2016 he can present himself as the only non-snob candidate and the only one who has hands that reflect hard work.

Republican Follies Go On And On!

Future political  scientists will have a wonderful time writing books and articles about the vaudeville show that has been touring America for the past year. It originally featured Michele, Tim, Rick, Rick, Herman, Newt, Mitt, and grandfathr Ron.  Today, alas, we are left with Rick, Neswt, Mitt and grand dad Ron. Mitt appeared to be in the lead for securing the presidential nomination, but  first Newt got in his  way, and last night, Rick had a hat trick with three  victories.

Evangelicals and Conservatives manned the barriers and halted the Mitt procession on grounds the millionaire was simply a LIBERAL dressed in Conservative clothes. Rick yelled with boyish enthusiasm, ‘I don’t stand here as the Conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama.”

Perhaps, the highlight of the evening was watching Mitt use a teleprompter in order to inform his supporters that  Rick had won.

Chris Christie Lacks History

Every so often a member of the Republican Party makes a comment revealing he or she was sound asleep when the class was learning American history. The governor of New Jersey was explaining his opposition to legislation that would allow gay marriage when the following words of ignorance were uttered: “The fact of the matter is I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fight an die in the streets in the south.”

He must be kidding. The large majority of white Southerners OPPOSED civil rights. Chris, do you understand that black skinned people in the South prior to the Civil Rights act: DID NOT POSSESS THE RIGHT TO VOTE!!

If ignorance was a virtue, then Chris Christie would be a saint in heaven.

Get The Prime Minister!

There are some angry people in Australia and they sure don’t fool around with worrying about who they are angry at. Prime Minister Julia Gillard was having a pleasant lunch with opposition leader Tony Abott when a crowd of folk including many of Aboriginal background stormed the place and began throwing petals of roses. Security  got the PM out of the restaurant and into a car when some folk began to stamp and bang on the vehicle. Eight indigenous women sat in the road attempting to prevent the car from proceeding, but our ever gallant police and security detail whisked the prime minister to the safety of her residence.

I have a hunch many members of the Tea Party read this story and are planning ways in which they can trap the guy from Africa who currently is president of the United States. I assume the  Tea Pee folk would love to surround Obama and pound away at his car.

Kahn Wife Keeps Kahn In News

We thought the life and times of French leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn had become more sedate and removed from the public scene once the man with wandering hands got on a plane to return home. Alas, that is not the case. His wife, Anne Sinclair, has joined hands with the Huffington Post to offer a French version entitled: “Le Huffington Post.” There is no question adding an “Le” to the name makes all the difference in the world. Anne insists hubby Dominique will not have any connection to the new online web site. However, what happens when Dominique makes a pass at someone who places his comments online? Somehow, we doubt there will be silence. Why not simply allow Dominique to have his own web site: “Boobs Solicited” would be a good name.

Limbaugh Says Republicans Are Socialists!

Rush Limbaugh the mouth that spews bullshit is upset at fellow Republicans who have emerged as secret Socialists seeking to reduce our fair capitalist nation into a slum of poverty. Rick Perry attacked Mitt Romney, darling of Wall Street, for heading a takeover company that purchased companies, fired people, and walked away with millions. Rick put it this way, “the idea that you come in and destroy people’s lives, the idea that you come in just to make a quick profit, tears these employees apart.” In his view, this is “vulture capitalism.”

Imagine blaming Wall Street for any problem when true conservatives know all problems were begun by Democrats or made worse by them. Rush tore into Rick for using the “language of leftists. This is the way Fidel Castro thinks.” Then again, Castro created poverty, Wall Street under Republicans created poverty, maybe we finally understand that poverty is created by leftists and some disguise themselves as lovers of capitalism.
