fainéant? Sounds like some kinda dang ol' French word or sumpthin'. We don't put up with that here in Texas (except in Castroville).

President-Elect Scatterbrain is a fainéant when it comes to learning what our Founders actually meant in the words of the U.S. constitution.

Photobucket Today, this week, and the preceding two weeks, I am and have been a fainéant. I had hoped to have the pipes going for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (and far above all, early early early and loud loud loud on New Year's Day!) but alas, poor health did not allow. *\8^(

Yep, Caroline Kennedy’s qualified to be a Senator. /s
She’s just come out of the woodwork, but seems to me to be more on the faineant side.

fainéant? Please, please! Call on me!callonme!

Fain’eant: One who faints, as in, “The fain’eant was given smwlly salts”.

To subjugate the verb: fainter, faintee, fain’eant, fantom.

In other French related word play is the term “French leave,” a term popular during the first half of the 20th Century, including WWI and WWII. “French Leave” described the propensity of French soldiers to desert when faced with an adverse situation.

Another interesting tidbit about France is that it is the only country to lose twice in WWII. It lost to the Nazis when they took over in 1940 or so. Meanwhile, the Vichy French fought on with their Nazi allies in North Africa then they too were defeated. One country, one war, two defeats.

Blagojevic, a criminal miscréant
Better if he were a fainéant
Mired in bribery and extortion
(Thank God he’s pro-abortion)
Place an order for more anti-nauséant

Democrats eager for their handouts should take a lesson about the way President-Elect Obama keeps his promises by watching how he treats his loved ones. News item:

The faineance of the French has no limit - it led to their defeat in WWII and is leading to the Islamization of France today.
