A brief diversion

I don't quite agree with fellow Yargbian, Flenser, regarding "burnout" about the Paris riots. I have pretty much said all I can possibly say about them and have not recently found anything that brings any new information or ideas for discussion or consideration other than Jamie and Truepeers who are trying to bring the entire discussion to a higher intellectual level but, well, I'll need to reread his essay again (and again) before I can have any hope of following.

So I offer a couple brief diversions, and go in a decidedly non-intellectually elitist direction here, while I continue in mostly wait and see mode.

PeterUK, what is going on there in London? Cocaine traces detected in River Thames.

The young, cute cheerleader ain't what she used to be... then again, maybe they are. I wouldn't know. Ummm... Go Panthers?

The Panthers cheerleaders were not in town to perform at the game.

Umm. Doesn't sound like appropriate family fare anyway.

"Chirac was keeping to his official schedule, hosting Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga on Monday and lunching Tuesday with Prince Albert II of Monaco. The president's first public comments on the rioting came Sunday - 10 days after it began."

Let Paris burn! I must eat lunch!

Can't wait for Sean Penn's glowing Op Ed praising Chiracs handling of the crisis! This is how a real leader acts!

You don't buy cocaine, you only rent it.

The cheerleaders story touches on a serious issue, the pornification of American culture. It will take a braver man, or woman, than I am to post on it though. terrye, I double-dare you.
