Today at the Elysee

Good thing we're all mooving in the right direction... aren't we?  The president hard at work to support young farmers.

Guardian/ICM survey shows hung parliament is real possibility as Conservative vote falters

Calling the Moderate Majority

We're out there.  And yes, we ARE moderate (and not just in Canada!)

And we are REASONABLY moral, as well as Morally reasonable.

The concept of the so-called moral majority is an utter distortion.  The vast majority of people are both moral, and reasonable.  Without sharing in the brainwashing and hogwashing of bible-thumping, bombastic windbags.

In production...

A hit new musical show will begin production over the next months. The title of the new musical is still under wraps, but a call has been put out for some user content. Websurfers are invited to write their own lyrics for a song titled:

"If you were on facebook..."

What does it all mean?

"[There's the] bad attitude and burly chest. But it's not just pecs and scruff that endears [him] ... it's all about something strange and unusual happening to you at puberty that ostracizes you from your friends. Then you find a close network of like-minded people who create a safe haven where you can be yourself and exercise your special powers."

This quote can refer to:

a) Twighlight
b) Wolverine/the X-men/heroic comic books in general
c) Me and this blog
d) The Terminator franchise
e) open to suggestions (in the comments, if you please)

Hint: you know the people who say it's always C? They're wrong.

Insufficiently Addled Discourse (IADs)

Yes folks, there it is. NATO high command has issued a statement that has been applauded by the CIA and the White House, along with the international intelligence community. According to this statement, world peace is threatened by a surge in the number of IADs over the past decade. Steps will have to be taken quickly to turn this situation around. There is much hope that this can be done before the global climate change summit to be held in Copenhagen.

In order to bring about effective, positive changes around the globe recent research within NATO has shown that more alcohol needs to be consumed by world leaders. This is particularly but not exclusively the case before, during and after major summits such as the G8, G20 and the like. There is little doubt by those in the know that with increased consumption of alcohol, as well as other mild depressants (which should be re-cast as Negotiation-Facilitating Goods [NFGs]) contentious issues in global affairs would see far swifter, more satisfying resolutions.

The Kremlin and the French and Italian governments have already expressed strong support for further research to back up these findings, and have volunteered manpower and resources for the task.

As a responsible global citizen, I feel that it is therefore my duty, nay, my privilege, to go pour myself a glass of chateau des charmes cabernet-merlot.

Off I go. For the future!
