I heard on the radio today that the head of the police told the Govt. that they NEED the army to help. The police have been finding nice little explosives like hand grenades, and are afraid the rioters will use them, since it's obvious they have them. Chiraq says no to army. I think he's looking for a group hug.

There is a lot of talk on the radio about this happening here. There would be a lot of dead aholes lying around if it happened in many parts of the US.

Here's how you should be looking at them, Dom.

The riots over there are a great advertisement for the Second Amendment over here.

For starters Karl Lagerfeld won't have to hide behind that silly fan.

But knowing the French, it will make anyone over size 0 will look fat. (but don't tell Suha Arafat)

Yeah, but it'll probably happen in big cities where The Left has already disarmed the citizenry. Allah's hordes would be stupid to try it anywhere else.

Does that mean we have to start liking the French?

In Europe you can rampage all you like and 2 weeks later it's "time for talk..."

de Villepin has already laid out the terms of surrender: plenty of freebies, college scholarships, renovated housing, "employment opportunities" (workplace quotas), etc.

Funny, but I thought it was us Dirty Americans that were the racists...

Amen, and amen. Lead them a little if they're on a scooter. Hold a little bit low when in doubt.

With the same fervor they show to 'murkuns.

I say we export our best talent as a show of faith. Let Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin get on the front lines. Gooooo team!
