Mad, Mad World

Been a while since I posted. Here are some ramblings...

FRENCH ENJOYING NOVEL EXPERIENCE OF BEING VIOLENTLY OVERRUN BY NON-GERMANS

What is the deal with France and these riots? I feel a little bit like I did after Katrina in the United States. It's just amazing in this day and age whenever order simply cannot be restored. Of course, the French leadership is already taking a vintage appeasement approach. I'm sorry, but you're upset that you're poor and don't have a job? How does torching 6,000 cars and some schools make a case for including you in society?

LEADER OF FREE WORLD PROMISES TO VETO BAN ON TORTURE

Okay, granted the world today is a little topsy-turvy, but I still have trouble fathoming that an American leader is opposed to a ban on torture. I think of America as a country that always takes the high road on these kinds of issues. John McCain has come out saying that torture doesn't get you reliable information, and I'm inclined to take his word for it, of all people.


In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrasts.
