WEEKEND ENTERTAINMENT
So, via a blog I don't link to as I want to remain family-friendly, I stumble on this from National Review. The piece is written by one Denis Boyles, who has a book entitled: Vile France: Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheese.

Hands up anyone else who thinks that large chunks of it read like Mark Steyn spoofing the root-cause-brigade?
