Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

More Sarkomania

Photo stolen from a good analysis at Publius Pundit. Other comments and links at Gateway, to whom I owe a h/t for the former piece.

There is no doubt that Sarko had the babes on his side, which is a good sign. Maybe we need to re-think our view of the government-teat-sucking, cafe-drinking, work-allergic, lazy-ass cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Did I just write that? I take it all back, after today.

TigerHawk feels similarly, and has a lot of interesting Sarkozy quotes. Yes, Sarko is a Yankeephile. And he is conservative by French standards - but not by American standards.

agree w/ NJ & all those (mentioned) bloggers -- this is big. Big big big. Read the Sarko quotes -- this guy has led a deliberate repudiation of the "spirit of 1968" --in France for cryin out loud!

Life Sucks! Mesopotamia is everything Hadrian said it was. Republicans are polling so bad it's no longer a matter of getting Congress back; we'll be lucky if we don't have "Bounties" put on our heads. The Fed is bound and determined to put us all into depression; and NOW,

We've gotta start being nice to the "Frenchies!"


The pain is becoming unbearable.

Sacre bleu! M. Larson parle la Francais idiomatique!

What other tricks does he have up his sleeve(s)?
