[Euro-American Scum]

Bump for the Poet Laureate of FR.

[Phaedrus]

Although Henry returned to England after Agincourt, his triumph paved the way for English domination of most of France until the middle of the 15th century.

The French do seem to have a habit of losing battles and wars.

An absolutely elegant piece, with snatches of humor (I know she lurks here...how else to explain the description of Traficant...LOL) and a wonderful slam on both Gore and Clinton.

I think you're right, Miss Marple. I think Noonan reads FR.

[Notwithstanding]

As I read the piece I had the exact same thoughts.

Bravo - thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I expected more from Noonan.

[Phaedrus]

In less than a year, Islam terror has come to this country in the most ostentatious of ways, God has been declared unconstitutional and huge corporations have been caught lying and defrauding their investors and the public (and, as a result, Arthur Andersen, the formerly platinum name in public accounting, is gone). The Wake-up Calls are coming hard and fast and the fat lady has yet to sing, I think.

I meant to note as well that these events are all unique in American history.
