"City of Light? Give me a break. This is the 'City of Losers,'"

LOL.

After that [1789] Revolution, "riots" shook Paris again in 1830, 1848, 1871, 1968 and now 2005. In each case, the country's failure to embrace change brought about catastrophe. Without defending the mostly Muslim teens out hurling Molotov cocktails, one can at least acknowledge that mob violence isn't without precedent here.

Indeed. Many claim the problem is immigrants who choose not to assimilate but I say they have assimilated all too well and are simply showing they have learned the lessons of the ubiquitous French strikes albeit with a bit more enthusiasm.

Then there's the owner of the local boulangerie, a crank prone to unpredictable verbal assaults on the most loyal of customers.

Good stuff baby, good stuff.

You know what, I've been to France and I have to say the friendliest and most hospitable people there were the Muslim immigrants and Algerians.

In my opinion, they are only rioting because they cannot stand the French. I think we can all relate to that.

A quiet night in France...

I'd hate to be there on a bad night.

Guess there is at least one in every big city...Paris has a bread Nazi. Maybe he provides for the soup Nazi in NY.
