Sarkozy Emerges As the Strong Man of the Sick Man of EuropeRemember, he's about as pro-US as one could hope for in a French politican: France's weeks of riots may have created many victims, but they have also produced a clear victor: Nicolas Sarkozy, the ambitious interior minister who sees himself becoming the next French president. Cute how they get that little zinger in, huh? As if the only people interested in someone who wants to stop rioting rabble are Nazis. posted by Ace at 01:00 PM
Comments*Communists* don't like rioting much, either. Well, rioting against THEM, that is. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 18, 2005 01:21 PM
Let's see. Nazi = National Socialist. Chirac = socialist. BusHitler = Republican, democratic federalist (for the most part, anyway). Who's the biggest danger? Oh, yeah, I forgot. BusHitler, because he's a Christian. Posted by: Carlos on November 18, 2005 01:22 PM
LePen and Sarkozy are "extreme-right National Front(ists)" only in the sense that they think France should actually remain a separate country, unlike the demented socialists there who want to abandon nationalism for Euroism. When I see so-called "conservative" European candidates labeled as such, I can't help but think of Mark Steyn's useful observation: You know how in some hotels even a small turn of the dial will change the water temperature from freezing to scalding? Well, Europe's political temperature is the opposite of that; you can turn the dial all the way from the left to the right, but from a Western perspective there is no change.

Excellent news. The French press (and Villepin and Chirac) had done all they could early in rioting to attack Sarkozy. Sarkozy has praised the US system in the past and can be expected to push for a loosening of labor practices (albeit without success). He is known for pointing out that the French social model isn't much on social given so many French are unable to work, and even less of a model as no one is emulating it.

This can't be true! I just read in the WaPO Editorial yesterday that Sarkozy was losing out to Cruella DeVile, uhm I mean Dominique de Villepin in polls as a result of the riots and that his hopes for the presidency have been dashed! Who am I supposed to beleive? Some blogger who cites specific poll numbers from a reputable source? Or some WaPo writer who makes unsubstantiated statements and then draws conclusions from them? Posted by: Joe L. on November 18, 2005 02:13 PM
I’m not sure that last bit qualifies as a zinger. Le Pen came in second in the last presidential election, and all these youths from… oh, no place in particular... just asking for the recognition they deserve, probably gave his appeal an enormous boost. If Sarkozy can attract voters who othrewise felt they had no alternative but to vote for Le Pen, that’s great news. I haven’t followed the French press, but I‘d be surprised if anyone is really equating Sarkozy and Le Pen. Sarkozy is conservative only by French standards, but he admires that nasty Anglo-Saxon free market economy and hopes to bring some of that spirit to France. Le Pen is just a genuine thug. He hates Muslims, yes, but then he also hates black people. And gays. And mongrel Americans. And Jews, most especially Jews. (Google up some of his quotes if you don’t believe me.) Hitler and Vichy? Not so bad. The notion that Sarkozy, who’s Jewish by background, is some kind of Le Pen fellow traveler is probably too ridiculous even for the French press.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026.

FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
