Ya, it means whenever “conservative” is said in French by the French… it means something totally different than what it means in English.

Brussels Journal reports that they have fixed the problem with pop-up ads.

Interesting article.

Unfortunately, Brussels Journal displays malicious pop-up ads. They offer to clean the Windows Registry but are really trojans to install adware/spyware. They come from this site:

Kierkegaard,
THanks for the correct meaning of ‘con’; it makes ‘neoneocon’ even more amusing. Hope our hostess doesn’t mind.

Survivor, not something a martial virtue advocate and a non-political proponent would like.

Too much politics. Not enough killing for me.

The version I read of Sarkozy’s original comments was that he had been holding a TV interview at one of the ‘non-droit’ suburbs when both his party and the TV crew were stoned by a group of ‘youths’. It was after that he referred to his attackers as ‘racaille’ or scum. This is a term which resonates with most French citizens, since that’s pretty much how they feel about most immigrants anyway. Sarkozy is definitely out with the RPR for now–Chirac has a relationship of almost sexual dependency on the ludicrous de Villepin, but he may well be back to contest the 2007 general election. If Le Pen survives long enough to run against de Villepin, instead, he might actually win, despite the best efforts of the media.

I lived in Paris for five years as an illegal immigrant, though I was worshipped by the French, due to my great personal charm and arrogance. At that time all the Paris bakeries featured a chocolate ball delicacy called ‘Tete-de-Negre’, or ‘N-word-Head’, often displayed in shop windows; this, I think sums up their deep, atavistic liberalism quite nicely. ‘Con’, incidentally, does not mean ‘dickhead’–it means ‘c*nt’, in the British sense, and is where we got the word in the first place (from its original Latin).

Great site, btw.

[M.G.] Sarkozy may not be finished -- he's still doing well in opinion polls.

Agree. Nothing inherently wrong with what he's done. This will only turn out badly for him if the int'l press can make these absurd charges "stick", give him no chance for a rebuttal, etc. It will take them longer than they realize to "finish" him.

In fact, this morning when I turned on my TV, a CNN reporter was declaring authoritatively (without, of course, citing any surveys or statistics), that (if my recollection of her words is correct) "Sarkozy is now the most hated man in France."

Ugh. And bull. Who was the turd saying that - do you remember?

No sarcasm intended here. I doubt any french folks are present or will be any time soon. They are in a state of shock over their government’s inability to stop civil chaos, and they are desperately trying to convince themselves that islamic fundamentalism plays no role in the riots. I mean really, whatever would they do if they came to such a conclusion when faced with a very large muslim population in their midst? I for one do not make the disconnect with attacks on Jews and Synagouges preceding this chaos and the yells of allah akbahr being heard when molotov cocktails are thrown, but then I’m not French. Now, If I am wrong about any French reader being present, then let me explain that to many rural Americans, a frog is a critter that inhabits ponds and streams and nothing more.
