France Cracks Down

 

1. They have also banned the sale of gasoline in cans as the “traditional” moooslim New Years celebration (car torching) approaches. I don’t suppose it would have occured to the moooosies to stock up but what do I know?

2. The only true cure for the towlies was best worked out by Ferdinand and Isabella.

   They had better uses for torches then....

4. I’ve heard that French police can legally do things that would give the ACLU seizures.  Seems that the problem is in the ‘macro’ (big picture) arena. I am a big fan of Inpector Maigret, by George Simenon—he is not loathe to use sleep deprivation and slaps on suspects.

5. Oink you’re right, the Frenchies take a robust approach with detainees. When they put their black gloves on you know you’re in for some rough stuff!  They would never get away with such antics in pc Britain. Gone are the days when coppers could roll a suspect up in a carpet and give it a few good kicks!

6. McCain, Kofi, and Kerry should get to Paris immediately. JFK can translate McCain’s anti-torture ideals into the language of the nation of enlightenment.

   Kofi can express the concern of the world community about this or that, look for his oil-dollar Mercedes, confer with UN aides about room service at the Ritz, and accept a prize or medal. Maybe two. He always has such great haircuts.
