Now my usual disdain for the people of France who if they used any of the soap they produced would be a tolerable people, it was once said that the English Channel was dug by the British because they knew of the French aversion to water. (by once of course I mean here and now)

So for the second time I find myself in a conundrum, having to write something newsworthy dealing with people who speak arrogance, I mean French as their primary language. Their secondary language seems to increasingly be Arabic so we can safely assume large explosions in the near future.

According to the news a segment of the population is undergoing a strike and that the entire country seems to be shutting down, yet people are still more concerned over why the First Lady of France left her husband. People its old Europe, they have no morals! I though we had established that it is America (the US part of North America, the rest of the continents are crap heaps) that had moral authority to meddle in people’s lives.

Are we truly shocked at the inaction of a French President during a time of crisis. The French have a history of this type of behavior. It took the Nazi’s longer to take over Poland for God’s sakes and the Poles were attacking Tanks with horses! The French are just probably waiting for British and American forces to come in and break up the strike.

Since the inception of the United States it has been proven, that if America does most of the work, France will be successful. There is a reason that the top military unit in France is the “Foreign Legion”. It is because Frogs aren’t exactly the model for military excellence. I mean when a symbol of your military prowess, Arc De Triumph, is from a war that you basically tied; well things aren’t going in your favor.

I will say the National Strategy of the French has shown the ability to evolve from the appeasement and eventual capitulation to Germany, twice, to their new strategy of evasion when dealing with the new threats on the global community. If you don’t engage in a fight, then you can’t lose can you? Unless you retreat all the way home, which in fact would make you appear weak to further embolden the enemy.

It was a strategy that Democrats seem to be heartily embracing by never attempting to really stand up to this President who appears to believe that Divine Right supercedes the Constitution.

But this is about the cowardice, ridiculousness, and poor hygiene of the bane of European existence the French, not a cathartic lamentation of my party’s inaction.

So in case you missed it, or cared, there is a strike in France dealing with some issue I don’t care. It is Thanksgiving and the sign on my desk says, “Gone Frenching.”
