In the infamous words of Yogi Berra:
Deja Vu All Over Again
The threat level has been raised from brie to camembert.
Reports are that the threat level in France is up to “Run” from “Hide”. Next of the scale is “Collaborate”, then “Surrender”.
Doug,
Thanks for that link …I am still on the floor reaching up to type this.
I do some parody etc on my blog too. I would love to be able to manipulate photos as well as the folks at Sacred Cow.
Cheers,
I suspect this has gone beyond disenfranchised Muslim youth and Paris is now being occupied by insurgents deployed by Al-Qaeda. The riots are too violent, too contrived, too organized. Apparently the Queen is an enemy of Islam, according to Al-Qaeda. As long as we leave the Tamils alone, I’m sure Canada has nothing to fear.

Enjoyed that comment….definitely…almost conan obrienish
Weird that 86 car fires in a weekend is average. I took it to mean average pre-riots.
Just wanted to let you know: my blog readers and I have come to a decision – our counter to the Liberal movement to “wear black” and “wear red” on Fridays “until our troops come home”, will be “Operation Green shirt/ Yellow ribbon”.
On Fridays, to show our support for the troops AND their mission, we will wear green, and to show our hope for them to come home safe, soon, and victorious, we will also wear a yellow ribbon on our lapel or around our wrists.(pictures at my site soon) Please spread the word any way you can!
Thanks in advance.

Oops, sorry, I accidently posted twice.
THE fashion trend this fall in Paris is brown trousers. Paris landmarks at peril? The Germans used the Eiffel Tower as a TV tower; maybe it will also be a minaret?
Well I hope it not like 1940, the “brave” French vowed to fight till the last till the Germans threatened to level the Eiffel Tower, then they folded like a bad pair of 3’s!!!! By the way was in Paris in 2004, great view from the Tower, wasnt very “white” on the Metro though, lots of muslims and beggars!!!
On the other good news:
Crime in New Orleans at an all-time low
(Due to complete absence of both criminals and victims)
Can Osama imagine what a “dirty bomb” exploded from the 500 ft level of the Eiffel Tower could do to the heart of Paris? Who knows, maybe even one of Saddam’s mythical WMD’s has made it into France.
If it ever was allowed to happen that sad irony would leave what’s left of the paralyzed corpse of modern France to sink into the quagmire of muslim extremism and civil war.
In the face of the “hurricane” of negative comments being freely given by the faces of Hollywood on America’s war on terrorism, here’s a link to an interview of a well known Hollywood pesonality willing to put his money where his heart is (READ “LOOK WHO’S TALKING” AND THE PIC IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE TEXT – POSTED AT 2:40 PM): http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomframe.jsp?query=bruce+willis+iraq+cosby&page=1&offset=0&result_url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3Ddd81c1ce72d11d35%26clickedItemRank%3D4%26userQuery%3Dbruce%2Bwillis%2Biraq%2Bcosby%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcorner.nationalreview.com%252F05_11_06_corner-archive.asp%26invocationType%3D-%26fromPage%3DNSCPTop%26amp%3BampTest%3D1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Fcorner.nationalreview.com%2F05_11_06_corner-archive.asp
The picture is heartbreaking once you connect it to the story by journalist Michael Yon.
If it happens people will wonder why.
London was bombed because of going into Iraq (c’mon, you know THEY say so). France did not so why? It will be because of the racism that caused the current riots. That and the ’56 Suez venture. And of course the Crusades. And any other stuff they may have done that the terrs are not consciously aware of yet.
Yup, we all have to take our punishment. It’s only fair.
howsabout montmarte as a mosque.already has the right kind of name and the goofy dome.
I see Black Jacque Chirac waited for a lull in the storm , for the alert level to drop from “hide” to “run” before he addressed the nation. 18 days after it starts and they get a bunch of frenchy bombast and excuses.
“Im Black Jacque Chirac and Im the meanist president this side of a glass of Chardonnay.”
Threat level has been adjusted upwards once more from “Hands up” to “Big Waving White Flag on a Stick”
