Observations on France:

Hmmmm...

    By Jack Grant

For every city I have visited in Europe I have stumbled across an Irish pub without looking for one. This includes Helsinki, Lyon, Brugges, Brussels, Leuven, and Grenoble. The Irish pub in Grenoble is one block over from my apartment.

What's up with that? Not that I don't like Irish pubs, but one in every city in Europe?

Well, the Irish have left Ireland and moved everywhere what do to they call that - the diaspora? so of course, pubs had to follow.

Perhaps, it's just Freudian, Jack.

Just go with it.

We don't handle randomness well.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
