Non mais vous imaginez à quoi nous avons échappé ??? On a déjà les vidéos de Ben Laden, la vidéo de Ben Laden regardant les videos de Ben Laden. Mais Ben Laden, cette dernière vidéo, il a du la regarder ! On pourrait avoir une video de Ben Laden regardant une video de Ben Laden regardant les videos de Ben Laden ! Et ainsi de suite, récursivement ! Pire que la vache qui rit ! Jusqu'à rendre fous tous les agents de la CIA ! Mais quel plan machiavélique :-)

Comment ne pas imaginer une seule seconde que la Confédération Helvétique veut se refaire une beauté aguicheuse en face des USA qui ralent contre son secret bancaire... Je ne commenterai pas ici le droit des USA d'exercer leur justice, en particulier dans un cas pour lequel Polanski a - il faut le rappeler - plaidé coupable. Non, pas de commentaire. Mais par contre, je ne peux que m'étonner de l'attitude suisse. Pour être précis de la honte de l'attitude suisse. Bravo. Préférer être laquet des US au lieu de l'ami de son voisin immédiat, bravo. Superbe image donnée à la Confédération. Pour mémoire, les Espagnols en ont viré leur Aznar.

John Coleman gets a six-month suspension for a wave at Obama.

I have just received the following email:

" Starting next week, travelers to the U.S. will have to either get a visa or use a US Gov't website to get advance approval.  Just coming from a "visa waiver country" is no longer good enough. ".

The fun thing here is the following:

" Note that a web search of ESTA may lead you to something like "esta.us" which looks official, but is really a private company trying to charge you money for a service that (I suspect) is the same as the free government-provided service."

I am waiting for the counter-measures from the European Union.

• Flying Babush
• Yes YOU can
• Bushoes

I woke up around 5am to see the results and the results came precisely 5 minutes later. At this moment, Obama has 338 votes and McCain 155, with still 4 states to go !!!! The Senate is blue and ... wow the House fell in same hands exactly a minute ago. I call that a tsunami. 

Seen from the Old Continent, I have only two words to say to my american friends : thanks, congrats !

Bill Clinton spent eight years visiting the whole world to give conferences and talks, I guess George W. Bush will be only invited by DisneyWorld... And Sarah Palin can go back to moose hunting, for the sake of this planet.

Amazing to see everyone smiling and laughing on CNN, and everyone grimacing on FoxNews :-)

<daniel>  Sarah Palin claimed men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth
          created 6,000 years ago... Sigh... What a vice-pres candidate...
<laurent> could someone let her know Jurassic Park is only a fiction?

Tout est dit.

I saw large parts of the first Obama-McCain debate. Let me give you the opinion of a foreigner (assuming you're an american reader):

• clearly no obvious winner, perhaps a very little plus on Obama's side that's all ; Obama caught McCain a few times with better arguments, McCain caught Obama a few times with excellent remarks. I even saw McCain destabilizing Obama at least twice.
• McCain's brain is still working very well but he should stop making references to the army all the time
• I heard nothing - just nothing - smart on the financial side
• I found hearing both of them speak of tax cuts in the current context plain hilarious
• I just hated the "I have that bracelet from a soldier..." series
• Obama mentioned Biden once ; McCain did not mention Palin at all
• McCain does not like Montana bears...
• McCain's spending freeze on everything but defense and veterans made me scream
• Obama did not answer clearly enough when McCain said he never had a hearing as the chair of NATO committee for Afghanistan

Globally, it was boring and I don't think it had the potential to change anybody's opinion.
