Coming soon to a city near you.....

[Tzimisce]

The French government at work.

Coming soon to a nation near you. :)

The Army is probably on strike too.

Do they have an army?

The French Army has already surrendered to the demonstrators.

So reluctant to give up the freebies they are willing to take down all of France and wreak hardship on all of her citizens.

In the meantime the Muslims are planning on imposing Sharia law on the French and slitting the throats of those that refuse to submit.

I don't know about you, but I have a six month capacity tactical fuel reserve.

It's only loaded to ~1.5 mo as the hurricane season is waning.

They want to do the same thing here they want their flag to fly over the white house now they just have the second best thing zero residing there.

[AD from SpringBay]

All because the French President wants to raise the retirement age three years? Imagine if the welfare checks stopped coming.

[Flavius]

Indeed fake money comes from derivatives

So what's the problem?
See to it that gas is delivered to the rest of France, and let Paris and its suburbs deal with the mess thay have tolerated for years: Union and "student" thugs.

Problem solved.

Paris, like Mexico, used to be a place I enjoyed visiting regularly. Not for the last ten years, though. Even if I do spend most of my time there way outside of Paris.

I hope that Sarkozy holds strong on this. The future of France really lies on this - he needs to break the socialists (we will soon be having the same battle here). Raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 isn’t really that big of a deal. Heck, I intend to work at least to 65 myself.

Three months in prison for tossing a bag of dead leaves? LOL!

Good thing they were dead. Live leaves will get you 20!

Hey, here’s a good idea: Why not burn the refineries down? That’ll show ‘em.

It hasn’t even been a full 100 years since France lost a huge percentage of a generation of males in the trenches of WWI. I can understand their neurosis although it is frequently aggravating.

Don't forget that the ascendent Nazi Germany war machine declined to try to go through the Maginot Line. The best way, they figured, was to make an unexpected surprise end-run.
