Howdy again sports fans,
Watch this surprising developement in France. The other shoe
has not dropped yet. French right wing politician Jean Claude LePen
of the National Front Party or some such has not spoken. That he
has yielded the limelight in this to 'Wolfovitch' (his nickname in Russia)
is surprising. Jean has never been at a loss for words before. His
party has actually had members of the National Assembly.....
elected. I suspect more will be elected now. The French may not
associated these riots with our race riots of our American 1960's, but
rather with a more at home French riot fest. The Communards of
1871 were one such series of events. These rioters took on the
French Army and for three days it was touch and go. There were
many casualties, especialy amongst the 'petroleuses furioses', fanatical
harridans who often in their zeal to ensure maximum casualties
amongst their victims succeeded admirably in immolating themselves
with their own special 'cocktails'.
Watch the next French elections. France may prove to be a volatile
country, and if the common folk think their homeland is at risk, they will
remember Charles Martel who stopped them at Tours so many centuries
ago. All it took for the national socialists to rise to power in Germany
was an ineffectual attack on the Reichstag....among other things. France
seems to alternate between weakness and strength in 100 year cycles.
About time for them to be strong again.....Alons enfant de la patria
La Jour del Gloire est Arrive......
But then of course the heretofore apathetic Frenchman may just...
go back to sleep.
