CBS News’ Mark Knoller asked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs if he really thought members of Congress would read the 1924-page Omnibus Obamabus Spending Bill. The White House Press corps laughed at his ludicrous answer.
Knoller: This 1924-pages. Do you worry that this could gum up the works a bit? Gibbs: I just think it means a lot of people will be up late reading between now and, say, the 22nd or 23rd. Knoller: Who is gonna read that? Gibbs: As I noticed during the healthcare debate, that is a big thing. I assume, I assume many members up on Capitol Hill. Knoller: Really?
(Laughter) Gibbs: I take ‘em at their word. I take ‘em at their word.
It is impossible – absolutely impossible – to believe that anyone in the White House press corps still takes this guy seriously.
Mike Huckabee, a former fat man himself, did not take kindly to Chris Matthews’ comments about Chris Christie being too fat to be President. Not kindly at all.
Mike Huckabee, a former fat man himself, did not take kindly to Chris Matthews’ comments about Chris Christie being too fat to be President. Not kindly at all.
“If Governor Christie somehow decides he wants to lose weight, he can. I’m thinking that talk show host — not matter how much he wants to — can’t change the meanness and the callousness of his own character.
So I’d rather be in Governor Christie’s shoes — an effective governor doing a good job, proving that solid, conservative governing principles really do work even in a state like New Jersey than I can a person whose talk show probably gets about as many viewers as Governor Christie will shake hands with on any given day in New Jersey.”
Huckabee exaggerates. Matthews’ show doesn’t get anywhere near that many viewers.
Ahhh, the Christmas season is upon us, that time of year when President Obama reminds us of our responsibilities to our fellow man and of his remarkable hypocrisy.

George Obama, the President's brother, stands in front of his Nairobi hovel while waiting to be kept by his brother
United Press International has the updated update:
The first family attended a Christmas fundraising event for the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington Sunday night.
President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha were greeted by children dressed as Santa’s elves when they arrived at the National Building Museum for the “Christmas in Washington” fundraiser taped by Turner Network Television for a Dec. 17 airing.
Obama wished everyone a “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,” recounted the Christmas story in the New Testament and urged people to think of others during holiday season.
“We are called to love each other as we love ourselves. We are our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper. It’s a message that guides my Christian faith,” he said.
Last we heard, Obama’s illegal alien Auntie Zeituni is still living in public housing in Boston and his brother George is still living in a 60-square foot hovel in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.
Ahh, yes, Christmas. That time of year when socialists demonstrate that when they say “We are our brother’s keeper,” what they really mean is, “When I say ‘we,’ I mean everyone but me.”
Fat filmmaker Michael Moore just ponied up $20,000 to help spring Wikileaks spokeshole Julian Assange from his English jail cell. Far as we can tell, the only thing keeping this story from being a perfect left wing trifecta is the absence of the Daily Kos.
Fat filmmaker Michael Moore just ponied up $20,000 to help spring Wikileaks spokeshole Julian Assange from his English jail cell. Far as we can tell, the only thing keeping this story from being a perfect left wing trifecta is the absence of the Daily Kos.
C'mon, admit it. You're not convinced that Michael Moore isn't really Sean Penn in a fat suit.
Oh, wait, we spoke too soon. Michael Moore just took to the pages of the Daily Kos to explain his actions:
Yesterday, in the Westminster Magistrates Court in London, the lawyers for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange presented to the judge a document from me stating that I have put up $20,000 of my own money to help bail Mr. Assange out of jail.
Furthermore, I am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars.
We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead. Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again.
So why is WikiLeaks, after performing such an important public service, under such vicious attack? Because they have outed and embarrassed those who have covered up the truth. The assault on them has been over the top.
Now if only Hugo Chavez can be worked into this story somehow, our lives will be complete.

Wow. Just wow. This is what passes for rational government spending in the Age of Obama.

The prime minister of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia, said rich Westerners were allowing his nation to perish due to global warming. Well, then why are home prices up?
Eero Iloniemi is the managing editor of Nykypäivä, a Finnish newspaper. He went to the U.N.’s Cancun global warming shindig and asked a very inconvenient question.
And if you believe the Tuvaloons, we have some oceanfront land in Arizona we'd like to sell youIloniemi’s reports the results of his inconvenient query:
The prime minister of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia, said rich Westerners were allowing his nation to perish. He showed a group of journalists, me among them, a video of floods that threaten to wash his tiny Pacific island nation to the sea…
‘Mr Prime Minister. In view of the impending deluge, how much have land prices fallen on Tuvalu?‘ I stammered.
For some reason my question completely silenced the room packed with environmental press. After what I will charitably call an inquisitive stare, the prime minister gave his longwinded answer full of long-term projections of rising ocean levels. To be fair, he concluded with a simple declaration: ‘Land prices have not been affected.’
This baffles me. The Tuvaluans have experienced the very floods Ielemia had just shown us. If the ocean is encroaching the island, surely it would make sense to sell all your land, at any price, while you still have some. This should cause a dramatic drop in land value as the market gets flooded (no pun intended)…
The story gets even more baffling when one looks at the Maldives. Remember, this is the tiny nation in the middle of the Indian Ocean where the government held an underwater cabinet meeting in November 2009 to emphasise the imminent peril of climate change-induced rises in the ocean levels. But in the Maldives, too, land prices are holding.
This does bring up the question we asked several months ago:
If Al Gore really expects sea levels to rise, why did he buy an oceanfront estate in California?
Next time your kid comes home in a Che Guevara T-shirt, ask him if he knows what the Cuban murderer actually stood for. Sit him down, strip the gauze of ignorance from his eyes and have him read these Guevara quotes.
Next time your kid comes home in a Che Guevara T-shirt, ask him if he knows what the Cuban murderer of Cubans actually stood for. Sit him down, strip the gauze of ignorance from his eyes and have him read these Guevara quotes.
Then burn the damn T-shirt.
1. “Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!”
The only good Che Guevara is a dead Che Guevara
2. “Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary.”
3. “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary … These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution!”
4. “A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall!” The Wall is a reference to the wall where Che’s enemies stood before his firing squads.
5. “I am not Christ or a philanthropist, old lady, I am all the contrary of a Christ … I fight for the things I believe in, with all the weapons at my disposal and try to leave the other man dead so that I don’t get nailed to a cross or any other place.”
6. “If any person has a good word for the previous government that is good enough for me to have him shot.”
7. Che wanted the result of the Cuban missile crisis to be an atomic war. “What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”
8. “In fact, if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm.”
9. “Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.”
10. “It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.”
What the hell. If people believe nonsense like Kwanzaa and Scientology and that crap Reverend Wright spews, why not Festivus?
What the hell. If people believe nonsense like Kwanzaa and Scientology and that crap Reverend Wright spews, why not Festivus?
The San Jose Mercury News has the religious revelations:
An Orange County inmate who disliked salami got special meals after declaring his religious belief in the Festivus holiday celebrated on the television show “Seinfeld.”
The Orange County Register reports Monday that 38-year-old convicted drug dealer Malcolm Alarmo King asked for kosher meals at the Theo Lacy jail to maintain his healthy physique.
But sheriff’s officials reserve kosher meals for inmates with a religious need.
Judge Derek G. Johnson demanded a religious reason for King to receive the meals and defense attorney Fred Thiagarajah cited his client’s devotion to Festivus — a holiday celebrated on “Seinfeld” with an aluminum pole and the airing of grievances.
Yeah, Festivus. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Janet Napolitano’s been busy lately – very busy – conducting personal interviews with every Mexican citizen. And when she was done, she proudly announced that 84,000,000 of them are trustworthy.
Janet Napolitano’s been busy lately – very busy – conducting personal interviews with every Mexicans citizen. And when she was done, she proudly announced that 84,000,000 of them are trustworthy enough to be given special “trusted traveler” status, allowing them to breeze through American airports with virtually no security checks.
What the Secretary of Homeland Security didn’t mention was that the total population of Mexico is 112,468,855 which means that she considers 28,468,855 Mexican citizens untrustworthy. That’s 28.3% of the nation’s population.
Be very careful here, Ms.Napolitano. You’re treading dangerously close to profiling.
Junk? We don't need to feel your stinkin' junk.
JudicialWatch.org has the derogatory details:
As violent drug cartels take over Mexico and expand their criminal enterprises north, the United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.
The foreigners will get “trusted traveler cards” with fingerprints and other biometric data and they must answer customs declarations questions on touch-screen kiosks before leaving airport inspection areas. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claims it’s a way to enhance information sharing and mutual security in the face of “ever-evolving, multinational threats.”
About 84 million Mexicans are expected to qualify for the trusted traveler program, according to Mexico’s Interior Ministry Secretary, who signed the agreement on behalf of his country this week. Celebrating the festive occasion, the Mexican government official assured that the new accord will facilitate the U.S. entry of business travelers and tourists who are key factors in economic development, growth of trade and cultural exchange.
Mexicans will get the perk through the U.S. government’s Global Entry Program, which allows participants to obtain security clearance by presenting a “machine-readable” passport or resident card at airport “Global Entry kiosks.”
The machines issue the foreign travelers a transaction receipt and directions to baggage claim and the exit into the United States. Applying is easy. Candidates fill out an online application, provide valid identification and answer a few questions from a Customs and Border Protection officer.
We have one simple question about this new policy:
Why are 75% of all Mexicans considered trustworthy enough to breeze through customs and security, but 99.99% of all Americans are considered so untrustworthy that they have to get their junk touched just to get on an airplane?
The National Science Foundation gave a $141,002 federal stimulus grant to Montana State University to fund a six-week, student trip to Hangzhou, China, to study dinosaur eggs and other fossils.
The Washington Examiner called this the Outrage of the Day. We can’t disagree.
"These are dinosaur eggs, class. They look like rocks. Now let's go explore Chinese culture."
WHO: The National Science Foundation
WHAT: Gave a $141,002 federal stimulus grant to Montana State University to fund a six-week, student trip to Hangzhou, China, to study dinosaur eggs and other fossils.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The students found ample time to experience Chinese culture and explore on taxpayers’ money, but the dinosaur eggs did not hatch any new jobs
We would assume that the phrase “experience Chinese culture” includes a little Schezwan Pork, pot stickers and combo fried rice washed down with a couple bottles of Tsingtao beer. Maybe more than a couple. After all, a day studying Chinese dinosaur eggs is exhausting.
Charlie Rangel is a remarkable hypocrite: “It would not hurt the Congress to have a little more morality involved rather than politics involved. And I’m prepared to do more than my share.”
Charlie Rangel is a remarkable hypocrite. He appeared on MSNBC with Dylan Ratigan and made the following statement:
“It would not hurt the Congress to have a little more morality involved rather than politics involved. And I’m prepared to do more than my share.”
Which is worse – Rangel’s hypocrisy or Ratigan nodding and smiling as if he’s unaware of that hypocrisy?
They’re putting salad bars in the schools. They’re restricting vending machines on campus. And they’re controlling what can be sold at school bake sales. Johnny can’t read, but he’s a svelte little son of a bitch, isn’t he.
Ho, boy. Doesn’t this one just sum up everything this band of statists believe in.
President Obama signed the First Lady’s child nutrition bill into law on Monday morning and Michelle Obama took to the microphone to say a few words about childhood obesity and, of course, the state of the socialist state.
“When our kids spend so much of their time each day in school, and when many children get up to half their daily calories from school meals, it’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility to meet as well. We can’t just leave it up to the parents. I think that parents have a right to expect that their efforts at home won’t be undone each day in the school cafeteria or in the vending machine in the hallway. I think that our parents have a right to expect that their kids will be served fresh, healthy food that meets high nutritional standards.”
They’re putting salad bars in the schools. They’re restricting vending machines on campus. And they’re controlling what can be sold at school bake sales.
Johnny can’t read, but he’s a svelte little son of a bitch, isn’t he.

An interview with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and perky, ratings-challenged news anchor Katie Couric – had been a fight, it would have been stopped in the first round.
About the only time we watch HBO is for the fights, but much to our surprise we found out that the cable network has a series called “HBO History Makers.”
If this episode of the series – an interview with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and perky, ratings-challenged news anchor Katie Couric – had been a fight, it would have been stopped in the first round.
Couric asked Rice about the war in Iraq. She led with her chin and a false premise when she said, “Documentaries have been made about how intelligence was incorrectly analyzed and cherry-picked to build an argument for war, and memos from that time do suggest that officials knew there was a small chance of actually finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.”
Rice proceeded to pummel Couric with a combination of lefts and rights and knock-out punches from every direction. Couric never knew what hit her.
Our favorite moment? When Rice started talking about Saddam Hussein’s use of poisonous gas and Couric jumped in to say, “Oh, yeah, he used those chemical weapons against the Kurds….”
Too little, too late, Katie. You’d already been counted out.

Matthews said Chris Christie couldn’t be president because he was too fat. Matthews points out that if we can have a black president and if both parties can put up creditable female candidates, then the concept of a guy who shops for his suits at Ed’s Big & Tall Shop shouldn’t surprise anyone.
OK, well, he didn’t exactly put it that way, but that’s what we heard.
He also didn’t say, “Chris Matthews is a pathetic schumuck,” but we heard that, too.
Considering the ratings of their respective networks, we assume more people heard Matthews’ comments on Cavuto’s Fox show than heard the original comments on MSNBC.
As New Jersey Governor Chris Christie asks, “Why should teachers be guaranteed lifetime employment after three years on the job?” We have a slightly different question. Why do teachers get tenure at all?
As New Jersey Governor Chris Christie asks, “Why should teachers be guaranteed lifetime employment after three years on the job?”
We have a slightly different question. Why do teachers get tenure at all? We mean other than the fact that their unions demanded it and no one was willing to stand up and say, “Are you insane?”
What’s the logic behind teachers and college professors getting tenure? Are there any other professions that get tenure?
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the government can’t force you to buy health insurance. Previously, Nancy Pelosi didn’t think this was a serious issue.
Our headline is actually in reverse chronological order. As you’ll see in this story.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the government can’t force you to buy health insurance. In other words, ObamaCare is unconstitutional.
With that in mind, you may recall the incident last October when a reporter asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she could pinpoint the part of the Constitution that authorized Congress to mandate that all Americans purchase healthcare insurance.
Reporter: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
Reporter: “Yes, yes I am.”
Don’t look now, Nancy hon, but we’re pretty sure Judge Hudson is serious, too.
Media Matters is at it again. They tried yet again to drum up a faux Fox News controversy and this one fell so flat that even Time Magazine leapt to the conservative cable news network’s defense.
Media Matters is at it again. They tried yet again to drum up a faux Fox News controversy and this one fell so flat that even Time Magazine leapt to the conservative cable news network’s defense.
Megyn Kelly really has nothing to do with this story, but we like looking at pictures of her
An internal Fox memo told its anchors to stop using the phrase “public option” when discussing ObamaCare and to begin using the phrase “government option.” Media Matters got its hands on that memo and was shocked – shocked, we tell you – by that supposedly blatant manipulation of the truth.
Hard as this may be to believe, Time magazine – liberal Time magazine – offered up this defense of Fox:
Here’s what Kurtz and Media Matters fail to note: Most Americans did not understand what the “public option” was. The term, in fact, seemed almost intentionally non-descriptive. Scores of journalists asked me during the health care debate to explain to them what the public option was – and these were folks interested in the news and paying attention to the issue.
The public option would have been a government-run insurance plan some Americans could have purchased. It would have been supported by premiums with no government subsidization and would be been purely voluntary. Like Medicare, the reimbursements paid by the public option would have been set by the government. Also like Medicare, the plan would not have needed to turn a profit, making it cost less than private insurance. It would have therefore provided tough competition for private insurers and pushed down premiums throughout the marketplace.
There’s a reason they call themselves Media Matters and not Truth Matters.

Rush Limbaugh made a joke. A pretty funny joke. The set up is that the media always positions any criticism of President Obama as racist. So when Democrats criticized his tax compromise, Rush turned the tables and said they must be racists, too.
Rush Limbaugh made a joke. A pretty funny joke. The set up is that the media always positions any criticism of President Obama as racist. So when Democrats criticized his tax compromise, Rush turned the tables and said they must be racists, too.
Here are Rush’s exact words:
Rush: Man, oh, man, oh, man, ladies and gentlemen. The left, what a bunch of racists. I mean they’re all over MSNBC. They are all over the New York Times, the Washington Post. I have never seen such a collection of racists, all these liberals criticizing Obama on this compromise on the tax bill. Well, every bit of criticism of Obama’s always been said to be racist, hasn’t it?
Proving that he’s just as dense as his critics claim, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz didn’t get the joke. Neither did his guest, the esteemed Charlatan Al Sharpton.
Duh.
The following very serious, very outraged discussion ensued.
We hate to admit it, but we’ve come to like Vladimir Putin in a weird sort of way. He hunts, he drives race-cars, he competes in judo tournaments and he doesn’t wear dorky helmets on bicycle rides, throw like a girl or frolic about the White House Lawn with a plastic light-saber.
We hate to admit it, but we’ve come to like Vladimir Putin in a weird sort of way. He hunts, he drives race-cars, he competes in judo tournaments and he doesn’t – like some world leaders we could mention – wear dorky helmets on bicycle rides, throw like a girl or frolic about the White House Lawn with a plastic light-saber.
Vladimir Putin thinks he's soooo macho, but can he handle a light sabre as deftly our President?
But then we are reminded of his authoritarian side and are brought back to reality.
We can credit ABC News with this latest intervention:
Assange’s arrest in London earlier this week indicated that the West isn’t as democratic as it thinks it is, Putin suggested.
“If there is democracy, it must be a full one. Why did they jail Mr. Assange? Is that democracy?” Putin said at a news conference Thursday. “You know what our villagers say: while someone’s cow is mooing, yours better be silent.” The Russian expression is loosely equivalent to the pot calling the kettle black.
Putin would do well to remember there are worse things than a trial by a jury. Like, for example, a cup of tea fortified with a shot of Polonium 210. That’s how notorious Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko met his untimely end. With a cup of Polonim 210-spiked tea that might very well have been brewed in a pot or a kettle. We don’t know if Putin recalls the specific color of these items.
There is nothing funnier than reader comments in the Huffington Post when things go poorly for progressives. Absolutely nothing. The wailing, the moaning, the gnashing of teeth is just classic.

President Obama’s tax compromise with the Republicans proves to be comedy gold once again.
1. lidin
Obama should go find his cojones and take a firm stand one way or the other and stick with it. For all his faults Bush had big brass ones and didn’t flinch(although he was wrong most of the time) Obama needs some of that confidence and conviction.
The clowns on the left are sad, very sad. Except for the ones who are mad, very mad.

I have come to the conclusion that he is a republican plant. I honestly believe the other side helped place him as a continuation of Bush Chaney

Clearly, we were all victims of one of history’s all time frauds. I personally was very much aware of many of his shortcomings, but I truly believed he was up for the challenge. What a stunner to realize just how worthless a Harvard education truly is when combined with lack of conviction, and an overabundance of arrogance.
8. SirSlappy
Captain Passive tripped on his own cape. We must get him to step down without a second term, to void the slot for someone with a spine. He’s a disaster.
9. jacobnyc
How has Obama done anything to suggest that he was a better choice than Hillary? I’d love to know. Obama is a wimp, not a fighter; he’s a orator, not a leader.
10. Massachusetts Patriot
Obama’s not just a lame duck, figuratively speaking, he’s a “dead” duck, case closed. The man’s lack of loyalty to his campaign promises and the base that helped elect him means that he will garner very tepid support from the left in 2012.

MSNBC’s self-avowed socialist Lawrence O’Donnell is beginning to sound intelligent. At least in comparison to walking dead Congressman Alan Grayson.
MSNBC’s self-avowed socialist Lawrence O’Donnell is beginning to sound intelligent. At least in comparison to walking dead Congressman Alan Grayson.
O’Donnell, Robert Greenstein of the leftist Center on Budget and Policy Priorities think tank and Ezra Klein of the Washington Post, triple tag-teamed Grayson and tried (emphasis on the word tried) to show him the error of his ways on President Obama’s compromise with Republicans on the extension of the Bush tax cuts.
O’Donnell channeled the voters in Grayson’s district and erupted in anger at the Congressman’s ignorance. In fact, O’Donnell got so pissed that he called Grayson a “dolt” and cruelly pointed out that the recently de-elected Congressman will be out of a work in January.
God, Grayson’s an ass. He actually tries to calm the situation down by saying, “Oh, please, let’s not insult each other with that kind of language. This is supposed to be the intelligent network.”
Has anyone ever seen Grayson’s wife? The poor woman must be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Liberal legislators across the fruited plain looked at this Canadian case and immediately began drafting anti-crossbow legislation, saying, “The Founding Fathers never anticipated these weapons of mass destruction.”
This story has potential for the Second Amendment to run right smack dab into the middle of the fourteenth century. The Associated Press has the details:
A Canadian man was charged with first-degree murder Friday for fatally shooting his father in the back with a crossbow in a Toronto library as shocked mothers and children watched.
Forsooth, verily, Zhou Fang hath dispatcheth his father
Zhou Fang, 24, appeared in court to face the murder charge a day after Si Cheng, 52, was killed in the library about an hour after a nearby school let out for the day. The judge ordered that Fang be held without bail.
Toronto police Const. Tony Vella said Cheng was pronounced dead at the scene and Fang was arrested later Thursday in a Toronto suburb.
“The use of a crossbow is definitely a unique case in Toronto,” said Vella. “You hear about guns, you hear about knives being used, but you definitely don’t hear about a crossbow.”

Global warming is piling up in Paris as one of the biggest early December blizzards in decades sweeps across Europe. And as if re-enacting one of the country’s many humiliating military defeats, French bureaucrats immediately ran up the white flag.

Paris, the City of Lights, the City of Heavy Snowfall
The BBC is in the know on the snow:
Heavy snow in Paris brought buses to a halt on Wednesday, suspended flights at Charles de Gaulle airport and prompted the closure of the Eiffel Tower.
Motorways in the Paris region were described as impassable as snow that had already hit other areas of France spread to the capital.
… The Meteo France service reported that one of its Paris weather stations had recorded 11cm (4.5in) of snow. The French capital has not seen a larger one-day snowfall since 1987.
Although the Paris Metro and rail network were operating normally on Wednesday, Charles de Gaulle airport closed for part of the afternoon until workers were able to clear the runways of snow.
The operators of the Eiffel Tower decided to close the monument as salt could not be used to tackle the snow and ice because of possible damage to the iron structure.
The national centre for traffic information described secondary routes in the Paris region as “catastrophic”. By mid-afternoon, the bus operator RATP declared that not a single bus was running.
In fact, the only thing that’s still running in Paris is the people. And they’re running away from the global warming scam just as fast as they can.
