1. Bush was the first to phone in congratulations to Sarko, sitting down to dinner
Time for the have-mores to celebrate having more ... again.

2. Is Sarko the recycled LePen fascist?

3. I don't think he's quite that bad, but he did say some of the most stupid things...
...during the Paris Riots a few months back.

4. Can you imagine how long he would have waited if the Socialist had one?
I wonder if he would have called at all?

6. Here's the link to the video I recorded a few minutes ago...
<http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1wvaj_may062007parispostvoteriot>

It's at my account at DailyMotion (basically, a French version of YouTube, but without as much censorship)

NOTE: If anyone wants to risk putting it up at YouTube, I'd be glad to email the mpeg2 file to you, I'm not going to risk it.

7. I notice that the news people
Edited on Sun May-06-07 04:34 PM by drm604
seem to go out of their way to try to minimize the importance of the rioting. That kind of behavior always pings my propaganda detector.

9. Me too, that's why I kept that part, to show the world the BS "news" we have to put up with here.
I've been monitoring CNN/International since I first posted this alert, and they haven't gone back to this tape even ONCE yet. :mad:

I wish I had caught the minute or two right before that, but it took a few seconds to realize what was happening and to get my DVR program fired up.

And just to be clear. Place de la Bastille is Central Paris, right next to the "new" Paris Opera House. My Dad's Cousin use to live about a block from there.

10. It might not be, but I already had one account deleted there...
...(and all the hours of work that when into building my page lost) so I just don't want to deal with that hassle again.

If you want the video to upload, I'll e-mail it to you. It's about 20MBs.
