Observing the meltdown of France, which is under attack by unemployed immigrants , um, disaffected youth , er, riotous teenagers , uh, I mean muslim fanatics, one can only assume the entire thing is a mystery that somehow is related to French whine.

Anyway, after reading our local newspaper and watching TV I simply can't tell who is really to blame except, somehow, "us", I have decided to take a hint from the current writhing of the fashionable French and simply have to ask (strictly as a fashion statement, you understand!),... does this .357 magnum and bandolier of 12 Gage #4 buckshot make me look fat??

Damned fine post, my friend. And, no, the bandoleer does NOT make you look fat.

(I recall a cartoon from a few decades ago of a Mexican at the door of his hovel, wearing a brace of pistols and with bandoleers over both shoulders. His wife was on the ground and had grabbed him around the knees. Caption, "Pedro, don't go into politics again.")
