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.

After his "Young Americans" gets its due time in the sun, I’m hoping Pat Dollard decides to take up the cause for us. I think he could find enough talent and backing with all his connections but it will be a huge personal risk. Since he’s already been blown up in an IED attack, Hollywood probably won’t scare him much.

Prescient and timely blog entry, Frogman. Take a look at the article out of Venice today (it’s on Drudge) about the anti-US film "Redacted". Sickening.

Well thought-out. Well written. Too true. I printed this for friends who do not have computers and credited you. Keep writing.

He he. You could use that as a banner, "In swaggers the Dissident Frogman..."

Hey, FrenchFroggy, another Southern Belle blowing air kisses across the pond. And you’ll find women in the south like your kind… strong beliefs in all the good things and a cool accent to go with it. Oooo-la-la! My own acquaintanceship with French cinema ended in Catholic grade school when the nuns played The Red Balloon for us. What a wonderful movie! That red balloon breaking free and gathering all the follower balloons into the sky spoke to something deep within my little red state American soul. (Freedom: Awesome…. captivity: not so good) Are you saying French cinema isn’t that cool anymore? As for the drivel put out by Hollywood… I think this one goes beyond boycotting the film. We need to boycott all theaters while such films are on their marquees. And let the offending theaters know why. Such cinematic malice needs to become a fiscal plague to any theater that dares roll the film. But until we get angry enough, they’ll just keep shovelling more of the same at us. By the way, does anyone know if Hollywood makes allowances for the ridiculous hike in movie ticket prices when they announce that their latest mental slopfest grossed $beaucoup millions on its first weekend? Is that compared with the $4 tickets from a better movie that was released in the 1980s? Of course a movie will gross twice as much now. Or do they consider that when they pat themselves on the back?

Take a look at the American Thinker this weekend : Death of A Phony. http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/09/death_of_a_phony_moralist.html ABOUT TIME! Most of the required reading for schools is horrible, pointless and anti-American tripe. Denigrating the solid middle class and its pursuits. (Salt of the earth?) French schools have the same problem - wasn’t it the British who determined that Maupassant was bad for young minds? Our son was in 3eme and was groaning at the books the class was required to read. Prepped him with Mark Twain (specifically Innocents Abroad) first, then let him loose against La Maitresse. His class was in delighted hysterics because with every new book she handed out, our son would raise his hand and ask, "So, do they commit suicide in this book?" The kids couldn’t wait to finish the old roman, just to be able to watch her squirm, trying to dodge him.

The Goebbels School of Propaganda has not only survived, it is alive and well and living in Hollywood.

300 rocked, no question, besides all the lovely men with spears and capes, it was filled with fantastic dialog about the meaning of freedom, the cost and it’s great worth. I didn’t bother with Black Hawk Down. Saving Private Ryan was stupid as well. No soldier, especially of that time, ever told someone to "earn it". What a load of crap. You served, fought and possibly died to defend freedom, not to protect one man. We are by no means a collective, but freedom is a group effort.
