DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."
Élaborons un brin :
If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

I really, really hate it when an actor who has starred in movies I enjoy makes stupid, asinine comments like these. It makes it difficult to watch those movies with the same frame of mind you once did. I’ll never view the movie "Pretty Woman" the same again :( Now, if he were on the "right" side, it would enhance the movie-viewing quite a bit ;) |

My dear FrenchFroggy, you SHOULD be interested in Charlize. She is sure you must be interested in her. She is a Hollywood type. That is, America’s version of dancing circus bears. Except they unfortunately lack that colorful cup thing that circus bears wear over their mouths to keep them shut. Charlize used to dance also. Until a knee injury made her dancing awkward. Unfortunately, then she switched from dancing to talking. Here are some of her famous quotes: "I think of myself as a highly se*ual creature" "There’s only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn’t give you a chance there is nothing you can do" "I was a little mad at myself because I feel very fortunate" "I’m happy for people who want to get married. It’s not my thing" So you see, our dancing circus bears are better left with scripts written by intelligent people. When they make up their own words it does not go well. Many Americans do not rely on the circus bears for political advice. We just shovel money at them (we are funny like that) and hope they will go away before we get a headache. *Air kisses* Allons Froggie! (or however you say it in French.)

I truly enjoy ready your blog. Please continue. As to the issue of Hollywood folks going overseas and bashing George B. I consider it a blessing. They are out of the country, and we are better for it. Thanks again. |

*stands up and applauds* Great points, Gina. I’ve argued with more lefties than I can count on the significance of dissing your fellow countrymen on foreign soil. They never get it. Not only that, but they will also break out the old "he has a right to say whatever he wants" line, when it’s not about having the right to say it, but whether or not it is right to say. These people do not understand that freedom carries the weight of responsibility along with it. BTW, hope your youngest gets well soon. |

Here’s a question for Mr. Gere: How did we make a no-talent ass like you a star? Charlize Theron won an Oscar for Monster so now she thinks she an expert on geo-politics. She’s just another dumb Hollywood bimbo who needs to shut up. Ms. Theron, you aren’t paid to spout your opinion. You’re paid to entertain. Like a court jester but not as funny. |

Aow c’mon Mom! It’s just a Richard Gere I found on my way back from school. Can we keep it? Please? |

LOL! Gere, like so many other Hollywood ‘elites,’ must have forgotten that you should never wage a battle of wits unarmed ;) |

Chris, Only problem is, they always return back … The idea of creating a "Moonbatia" country just for people like Gere sounds more appealing by the second. |

I like that suggestion! Speaking of people dissing the US on foreign soil, I read today where Rep. Dennis Kucinich, while in the Middle East this week to meet with Middle Eastern "leaders," went off on the US and their "illegal" war in Iraq, and said he would not step foot in Iraq because he didn’t want to "bless that occupation with my presence." But he did make time to meet with Assad and praise Syria. I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but all the same it’s still infuriating. |

In asserting Richard Gere has his head up his ass you apparently didn’t recall it’s the space he reserves for gerbils. |

Frogman, it’s a relief to see you in your terrorist mime costume when logging in...that Richard Gere photo was extremely disconcerting and frightened me. |
