Le Pen cracks me up.

If the French elect Le Pen, they will have to be quiet about American stupidity.

If the French elect Le Pen,
It seems unlikely. After the farce of the last presidential election, I doubt many liberals will be willing to make a protest vote next time round.

I seriously doubt the French will elect a far-right fellow like that.

After these riots, who knows? The French might just decide that he was right after all.

He came close with that protest vote.

Reminder to self: never make stupid protest votes, you never know what kook will be elected.

Sad, really. Too many Europeans, like too many Americans, have shown a history of racist behavior. This reminds me of Pat Buchanan's (too) strong anti-immigration stance.

If the French elect Le Pen,

That's gonna happen when you people elect David Duke. Le Pen has slid out of the spectrum.

they will have to be quiet about American stupidity.

Must the hubris go on? Don't you get a bit tired of using the same cliches over and over again?

French Film Star Le Pew Injured in Paris Cat Riots

PARIS - Former French matinee idol Pepe Le Pew was among the hundreds injured last night amid violent feline rioting in the impoverished Parisian suburb of Dans-le-Crappeur. Le Pew, 58, a former Warner Brothers studio actor turned Chirac government spokes-skunk, sustained severe scratches and concussions in the melee before nose-pin equipped EMT rescue squads could drag him to safety. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Last night's rioting marked the eighth consecutive night of violence in the Paris suburbs, as thousands of immigrant feline youths continue to rampage to protest a lack of jobs and cuts in French government tuna programs. Dans-le-Crappeur, home to tens of thousands of unemployed first-hundred generation immigrant cats, has been particularly hard hit.

Violence erupted here last Wednesday night after French Interior Minister Nikolas Sarkozy announced a crackdown on crime and furniture-scratching in the sprawling Chateau des Chats public housing projects. Enraged feline youths went on a rampage, smashing windows of local fish shops and overturning hundreds of public pay-litter boxes. Violence intensified over the weekend as enraged cats began burning and looting sprees across the suburbs, sparked by Sarkozy's remarks that they were "easily enraged."

In a stark warning of continued violence Monday, immigrant community spokes-cat Imam Tariq Al-Felix of the Lipi Le Lyon Mosque said that arson and looting would continue “until the French government does something to solve the problem of all the burned out looted buildings in our neighborhoods.”

Seeking to quell the burgeoning Kitty-fada and restore public order, French President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin enlisted the help of Le Pew yesterday. It was thought that Le Pew - who led France's UN efforts to oppose US sanctions against the so-called "pussies of evil" of Sylvester, Tom and Mr. Jinks - would help establish a diplomatic dialog with the Gallic feline community.

Instead, the outreach effort appeared to backfire. According to witnesses, Le Pew's appearance on the scene last night caused a stampede as panicked crowds began fleeing the smell. More trouble ensued when Le Pew was seen as making "inappropriate contact" with a burqqa-clad female cat, which reportedly sparked a mob of feline activists to don nose clips and begin beating him. Youths also set fire to a street-stripe painting truck which was allegedly involved in the incident.

From his hospital bed, Le Pew issued an apology to the Parisian cat community, explaining that "I am to be walking in zee park one day, in ze merry merry month of Mai," and "Pepe, he is to thinking this feline girl, she is un belle skunk femme fatale, no?"

Le Pew also appealed for public calm, and cautioned French citizens not to let the violence lead to anti-immigrant sentiment.

“To ze multiculturalisme, we must say ‘Vive L’Amour!” said Le Pew.

“And remember, France needs zee cat community,” he added. “Who else is going to pay for Pepe’s free hospital?” http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2005/11/french_film_sta.html

Extremism breeds an equally extreme response. Its basic reactionary human nature, blow for blow escalation. Today its kids with firebombs, tomorrow the soldiers start shooting, the next day its suicide bombers.

It's evolution baby!

Pearl Jam quote?

Pearl Jam quote?
Hey, if Le Pen does get elected, you'll have to leave France. You can come to America - the home of all those people thrown out of every decent country in the world.

Pearl Jam quote?

Of course.

Coolest. Music Video. Evah.
