'Sophisticated' and 'Continental' French Take Away Miss France's Title for Posing in Playboy
So let me get this straight, the
French are taking away Miss France, Laetitia Bleger's, title for posing in Playboy?
And she's not even nude! As
Erik Svane says about this, "
If this had happened in the United States, it's a sure bet that Europe's intellectuals and pundits would be besides themselves in bewailing, mocking, and shrieking about American puritanism and hypocrisy."
Indeed.
Both Rob at Say Anything and Double Viking have the pics. Despite Rob's warnings about them, they are not really nude. A kind of see through top in one of the pics, but it's the kind of stuff you see in women's fashion magazines all the time.

She's
naked...she's just positioned strategically to cover up her naughty bits. I was just giving reader's fair warning.
Besides, we don't allow none of that trashy women's mag stuff here in Jesusland.

Well no wonder - she's flaunting obviously shaved legs and armpits, and is BATHING! SACRE DIEU! What kind of Frenchwoman does that? She should be exiled!

"She should be exiled!"
Yes, it's an insult to the French and all they stand for: hedonism, eclairs and an idolatrous obsession with Jerry Lewis.

If she is exiled, I will, of course, volunteer to take her in and care for her until she can get on her feet.

Scandinavian Socialist Utopia: Norwegians Have a 'Right' to Surf for Porn at Work
Leftists love to talk about the Scandinavian countries as if they were utopias on earth.
I'm just beginning to see their point. Via
QandO this
story out of Norway:
Norway's Supreme Court supported decisions refusing Conoco Phillips the right to fire two workers who surfed the Internet for pornographic images on company time.
The two workers on the Ekofisk field lost their jobs after being caught peeping at porn on the job in the summer of 2002. The pair took their case to court and won at both the municipal and appeals level, NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) reports...
The Supreme Court has ruled that the firings were not justified and have awarded the two NOK 250,000 (USD 40,000) each in compensation.
Look, all joking aside, you've got to draw the line between public and private behavior somewhere. The idea that an employee can't be fired for surfing for porn
on company time is outrageous.
Now excuse me as I go do some 'research' at Whitehouse.com.

well, a company should be able to fire people for goofing off, no matter what it is they are doing to goof off.

Perhaps the question is to how time could be owned by anyone, as it rules itself despite what we want.

Oh. My. Gosh.
More wonderfully advanced (compared to the U.S.) thinking from the "progressives." Great. Just great.
Oh, and this is just another European ruling for the "progressive" justices in the Supreme Court to base their future rulings on.

And the company, of course, will bear the brunt of a lawsuit because it creates a hostile work environment for women.
Have your cake and pork it too.

"HUGH HEFNER and LARRY FLINT"
As Clint puts it in "The Enforcer," people like this are maggots who sell dirty pictures.

Berlusconi Resigns
It's not exactly what you think. This is a procedural resignation, he'll be back as PM right-away.
Guardian:
Silvio Berlusconi, faced with mounting criticism over Italy's sluggish economy and its involvement in Iraq, resigned Wednesday as premier but vowed to quickly form a stronger new Cabinet to restore confidence in his leadership.
Resigning and then immediately shuffling the Cabinet is an old trick of Italy's complicated political system, and has been used by premiers to strengthen faltering coalitions.
Berlusconi, who had presided over Italy's longest-serving government since World War II, had so far resisted the move, sensing it would dent his image as a new-style politician. On Wednesday, he suggested he would have preferred not to resign.
Giuliana Sgrena responds to the announcement.

Reached for comment, a jubilant Giuliana Sgrena noted that “today’s events totally vindicate my cause and prove once and for all that my paranoid story of American intelligence malfeasance.” When reminded that Berlusconi’s resignation did no such thing, Ms Sgrena shot back, “are you trying to assassinate me? You’re trying to assassinate me, aren’t you. You filthy murdering imperialist swine dog. I AM A VICTIM!”
LMAO!!! hilarious

My friend Greyrooster,
Why not go to Falluja and refute her claims?

Falluja:
Bloated bodies in the street.
Traces of chemical weapons.
Depleted uranium bullet casings by the thousands.
Violation of several international laws.
Denial of basic medical services for the innocent.
Fathers burying their children in backyards.
Destroyed homes, businesses, and other buildings
Destruction of water, electricity, and sewer plants.
Sounds like freedom to me?!

Same reference can be made of anyone. So some piss ant shows that some people in Belgium have a short memory. We have traitors here. Some on this blog. Whats to difference. I don't hate Belgium for a few assholes. Same as I don't hate America for a few traitorous bastards. I do hate the traitorous bastards. May their trials be quick and their punishment swift.

I saw those pictures in a newspaper we found at what used to be Saddam International Airport. This was just a couple of days after we had taken the airport. I'd guess 7 April 2003. I am a staunch supporter of ol' Dubya, but I thought those photos were pretty funny.

Luc van Braekel has more extensive commentary on this. Really juvenile stuff.

Hehe. Funny. Bush chimps... Well seriously, eventhough Bush does what he does, it's really mean if the whole world publically ridicules someone. Unfair too, since he can't really do anything about it, he has to fight wars against who ever seems to be responsible for that WTC thingie, so Americans can start feeling like they're living behind an iron curtain that protects them from the "evil world" once more.
The question is, how many muslims need to be killed to compensate the 2 skyscrapers and somewhat 3500 people? All of them? Every single one with a gun? There's no end to this, they have a habit of launching huge attacks after they feel a crusade has been sent to destroy their way of life.

Hmmm...Belgium, eh? Never heard of 'em. No, wait.. didn't they invent a waffle or something?
I'm much more concerned with all of the anti-americanism in America than I am with a pack of terrorist-sympathizing hyenas in the bowels of leftist Europe.
If there police training materials use images of chimps to illustrate suspicious behaviour, that may be the reason why terror cells flourish in that part of the world.
