"....For the French Challenged:
The pun here is that 'Rimbaud' is pronounced in french the same as 'Rambo' in English...."
Beyond pronunciation, this is brilliant wordplay. Rimbaud was a dedicated (perhaps fanatic) Absinthist....which cleverly describes, metaphorically, the direction of French society at large.
Europe is due for another cataclysm.

Relax a bit. America isn't going anywhere but up.

The world's "Democrats" pursue careers built upon nothing more demanding than inciting, encouragaging, facilitating and enabling the ever-increasing numbers of and depth of ignorance of and lying to those among us too stupid to know they're being lied too and/or too envious, too mean-spirited and too bloody greedy to care.
No wonder the poor bastards all end up looking like Teddy Kennedy and John Kohn-Kerry.
With, that is, the faces they deserve.

And it's common for young people to go to extremes. This is not a great predictor of what they'll be like in 40 years. By the time these kids are adult enough to drop their extremism, another two generations of young, Western-born Islamic radicals will wait in the wings. And so it'll go on, unless the mainstream (that is, Judeo-Christian) society is ready for a radical action. And they'd better not delay the changes anymore, 'cause Islamics breed like rabbits.

" All those elegant nouns just waiting for a stylishly coiffed French genius to steer the appropriate course between the Scylla of solidarity and the Charybdis of initiative, between protection and daring, immobilism and action, inertia and panic, stylish insouciance and meaningless gestures, abstract nouns and street riots, etc., etc."
