| The Real Sarko |

| A primer on the media savvy french interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy... by a free-market conservative wary of his all-show/no substance/double speak. Interesting read if you wish to get an another view of one of the prime contenders for the future french presidential election (2007, or even earlier if Shiraq is as decrepit as it's rumored), who's being "sold" by the msm as a conservative pro-free market atlantist. |

| #3 According to a non-idiotarian economist named Jacques Marseille and his book "of the good use of civil war in France" (which of course I didn't read, but heard him talk about in Radio-Courtoisie btw), France is only capable of reforming itself through convulsive crisis taking the form of overt of implicit civil wars... and he diagnostic we're in the middle of one, with a paroxysm coming sooner than later (when the counrty will go bankrupt, probably). Thus your saying is quite true, and, yup, an enema is coming. |

| #2 It seems that by having their politicians and bureaucrats all trained at the polytechnic, it has resulted in politicians ranging in quality between Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. I guess the old saying is true: France is a dictatorship punctuated by riot. That country needs an enema. |

| #1 Btw, for thoses who understand or speak french, the author of this will be on air in Claude Reichman's talk show on Radio-courtoisie (independent conservative/right wing/free market radio, direct stream here), as he's his regular assistant. Theses are always very interesting shows. 18-21h, re-aired 02-05h & 07h30-10h30 next day, substract 6 hours for East coast US time. |
