Europe was plunged into fresh economic chaos last night as France rejected austerity and elected a tax-and-spend socialist president. Nicolas Sarkozy suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Francois Hollande, who ran on a platform of tearing up last December’s controversial deal to save the euro from oblivion. The inexperienced Mr Hollande is now seeking talks with the European Central Bank and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to demand further borrowing to boost growth.

Hitler was something else, wasn’t he? If I type what else, I’ll have to use a lot of characters from the top line.
He even danced a little jig before rubbing their noses in it.

“...within a short period of time, they’ll all realize that they screwed themselves into becoming another Cuba or another North Korea”

They will NEVER realize this or EVER admit it! No matter how bad things get they will just say “we haven’t done enough of it”

Who knew that the us was a leading indicator in terms of France?

In the movie May Fools (about the Socialist uprisings of May 1968 in France), a kid comes back for a short vacation with his family, gushing over the wonders of socialism that he had learned about during his first term at the Sorbonne. Everyone will only work when they feel like it, he said, and no one will ever have to do a job they don't want to do.

And so on, until Grandpa said, "Well, that all sounds fine, but who will pick up the garbage?"

[AD from SpringBay]

These French elections are a small black swan.

[Tainan]

Tell you how bad it is...already, the money people in France are looking to purchase housing in London...for TAX reasons.

This Hollandasie shite is on record to implement a 75% tax on incomes of 1 mill francs a year.
The bottom is going to fall out of France...Tout de suite!

[muleskinner]

What is this an image of?

What? You obviously don't watch the Hitler Channel.

My dad was in (French) New Caledonia during WWII and was with the Occupation Forces in Europe, and he said he thought the French actually liked black markets because it made them feel special and important to know who to go to for whatever.

I see a big black market forming that will make the ones in Greece look like pikers.

Got that right. I wish I had the bandwidth for you to email me a shot of the 12-year-old... :-(
