Making Sarkozy’s Short List: French President Seeks Citizens Who Can Measure Up

210px-Jacques-Louis_David_017180px-Nicolas_Sarkoky_Bastille_Day_2008_n2-SarkoIt is well-known that French President Nicolas Sarkozy is a bit sensitive about being 5′ 5” tall. He often stands on his toes for pictures or uses a box. He has, however, come up with a new idea. If you can make yourself taller, you can make the world smaller.

Parents Unite Against Obama’s “Brainwashing” Speech to Students

OK this is getting bizarre. This mother breaks into tears when she thinks of the President of the United States speaking to her children in school. We are less than two days away from Obama’s brain-washing, soul-crushing, communist-loving subliminal-laced speech to our children. By Wednesday, our schools will be little more than communes with kids calling for redistribution of wealth and reeducation of parents.
