Le Pen, Le France, Le Merde

As France has been targeted for terror in the last few years our stance on that nation has softened a bit. Up until recently we were in the 'cheese eating surrender monkey' school of thought. After Charlie Hebdo, The Bacalan, Nice, and on and on we can't quite muster the contempt we once had for those wine drinking pussies.

The frogs even came out looking pretty good in To Defend the Earth. Just wait till you see what they're up to in World War 1990: The Final Storm.

Please let it be known that we've felt nothing but for contempt for France since they refused to allow our bombers to overfly their territory when we smacked the Libyans in '86. We'll let the Prime Minister speak for us:

They still are.

Macron has a decent lead against Le Pen, high 50s vs low 40s. We don't know enough about French political dynamics to try to break down the race, though we doubt Macron will win by such a margin.

We think this Macron fellow will be next president of France. Macron and Le Pen are debating today. In 2007 the Royale-Sarkozy debate changed the course of the race, maybe Le Pen will be able to do so as well.

We'll see.

We'd like to address one point about France and old grudges.

Back in 2003 France elected to support Saddam Hussein, hoping among other things to avoid the scourge of Islamic terror.  How'd that work out?
