Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Barry Husseinovich seems to have his own version of the English language, which must be penetrated if his speech is to be understood. Sounds like what he meant was, don't make me invoke the "or else" clause. In this case, it's the same "or else" he held over the heads of the corporate types, with whom he had a nice Chicago-style sit-down a few months ago---"I'm the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks". Apparently, Husseinovich, ever the internationalist, remembers that today is Bastille Day, and imagines that the entire country is going to go froggie if it doesn't get its government handout.

What The One forgets (or more likely just never learned) is that the pitchforks were being waved by those like himself, the radicals, and were aimed at whoever was on top of the heap. It wasn't the Chamber of Deputies who ended up in the tumbrel, it was the King.
As for the Bastille, the crowd sat outside for two days until the CO ran up a white flag and surrendered the powder store, which was what they were after.
The "Marseillaise" of today isn't interested in a Terror- that's what Obama and his cronies dream of inflicting on everybody else. Our modern-day "revolutionaries" mostly want Obama to stop spending money we don't have on "programs" only he and his cronies want. (I am not aware of any popular "constituency" for studying the sex lives of yeast.) That's a little different that people demanding bread.
