An old joke: A rich Frenchman had a butler who was a Communist. Every week the butler would go to the Communist meetings. But one day the rich man noticed that the butler had not gone to the meetings for quite awhile. When he asked about this, the butler replied, “Well, the Communists promise that, come the Revolution, all Frenchmen will have ten thousand francs”. The rich man, says, “Well, good! Good!”. The butler then blurts out, “But Monsieur, I have twenty thousand francs!”.

Ahhhhhhh…France. Home of the Saint-Avold American Cemetery. All we asked,’was enough ground to bury our dead.’ (Thank you, Collin P.)

France, and much of Europe, is caught in an economy and with politics that can’t work

But they should work – socialist theory tells us so! We just didn’t have the right people in charge, but this time …

Whenever I hear this nonsense, I always am reminded that psychologists judge the intelligence of animals by how many repetitions it takes them to learn something.

France, and much of Europe, is caught in an economy and with politics that can’t work. I do believe Sarkozy was doing about as good for them as could be done. Oh, never mind, they will find out shortly why choosing more wine with cirrhosis of the liver is not a good thing. Eat, drink, and be carried. Only, nations don’t really get to die. They just sink into oblivion, to be taken by those who are strong enough or who will use the land. They have been here before, often. To bad they don’t remember.

I mean I DON’T AGREE with Herman’s last comment. I figure you have to give Israel at least honorable mention long before Europe’s time.

Arthur Herman hasn’t figured in Rory McIlroy for Europe who stands 1 to 4 against our golf boys. Those five might just bring it all back, huh, Well, that’s about right, isn’t it? Iif anyone enjoyed the Wells Fargo Golf Tournament this weekend, I guess there’s some hope? There’s something congruent, too, about Rickie Fowler being completely self taught and a descendant of the Japanese and Navajo among others. If that ain’t American, what is? And a winner, did I mention that.

Do disagree with Herman’s last comment that Europe was the “the original home of liberty and freedom.”

Happy hour in France until the few tidbits are savaged by the mobs.

It reminds of the comment I heard from a bar owner who had installed a free taco bar and then recanted saying “damn bums don’t don’t anything but eat my free food.”
