    Default Parisian Mayor gets upset tummy eating sour grapes

    The Mayor of Paris throws his dummy out of the pram.

    Is it a political characteristic in France to behave like a spoilt brat if you can't get your way?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Let's face it... receiving an Olympic bid is all about who can bribe the IOC the best. They're as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Maybe Paris doesn't have the money to throw at them for 2016 and has to save up it's pennies for 2020.

    I saw a documentary that showed that this was true in the past, now of course it's not true or they hide it better

    Maybe they are just hiding it better...
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    Delanoë. Argh. Unable incompetent unefficient lobbyist made leftist mayor of a rightist town by the most unlikely blunder of the french right..... He's high on my target list(though behind Fabius the poisoner & Sarkozy the demagogic brute).
    War is not about who is right, only about who is left

    Having a point of view upon everything is good
    Having a view upon every point is better

    You forgot the top bastard, the one that rules them all and in darkness binds them...

    Chirac!

    Delanoe is taking a lot of fire here for his unconsiderate, unsensitive remark. Let's open the bash festival!
