Where the Elite Meet to Bleat

On Arte, yet another “expert” that no-one has ever heard of plausits aloud during a program discussing whether or not deposed dictator Saddam Hussein will be executed. The audience is entertained with the usual flair or talking in circles, but one wonders if it has sunk in to John and Jane Public that the Moustachioed Mass Murder was actually found guilty. I guess so, they immediately wanted to deny the Iraqis the catharsis of getting on with their lives when the general consensus of the all knowing was to demand that he not be executed. Now Pinochet [!!!], that would be another story...

Cosmic ray diversionary chaff being deployed now, Captain!

M6 wonders: What? He risks being a lame duck, like every other president at the end of his term?

To quote a reader:

You'd think he was going to be kicked out of the White House or burnt alive on the White house lawn.

At least they didn’t commit the usual media error of calling him “Georges”

I swear, their media is ”the gift that keeps on giving” in oh, so many ways.



'La valeur Europe n'existe plus...” said Pascal Bruckner on the program, who used the US as a counter-example saying that one scandal in Abu Ghreib doesn't mean everything about what is happening in the Near East is bad or that all Americans are bad. The remainder of the program was consumed by the toxic and childish theme which might just might bring readers closer to the realization that behaviour is neither genetic nor racial so that they might grow comfortable into the 1970s. The theme tonight: Are whites responsible for all the world's ills?

Amusing, really, since the entire culture likes to blame a multi-racial America for all everything it sees wrong with the world, yet imagines the United States to be even more white-bread and rhythmically challenged than they are, and always more brutal.

The program rounded out with some “indigenous” looking South American who surely found a new venue in France now that Marxist fantasies are back on the Vaudeville circuit. Much as is usual Es ist zum kotzen.
