What a change in France. Electing Sarkozy is turning out to be one of the best things the French have done in quite sometime. Now he is standing up to Syria:

France is to suspend diplomatic contacts with Syria, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced.

Links will be restored only when France has proof that Syria is not blocking progress towards installing a consensus president in Lebanon, Mr Sarkozy said.

Lebanon has been without a president since November, as rival pro- and anti- Syrian factions argue over who should fill the post.

?“I ask Syria to?… work to create agreement,?” said Mr Sarkozy.

France ?“will not make any more contacts with Syria?… as long as there is no proof of Syria?’s willingness to let Lebanon choose a consensus president,?” he told reporters, during a visit to Egypt.


It appears there is a finally a real leader in Europe.

More backbone-

Prime Minister John Howard- Australia: Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law wednesday to get out of Australia,as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential attacks. Seperatly, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nations mosques. QUOTE: ''IMMIGRANTS NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUSY ADAPT. Take it or leave it. Iam tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorest attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriorism by the majority of Australians''. ''This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles,trials, and victories by millions of men and momen who have sought freedom''. ''. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinse, Japane, Russian, or any other language. Therefore if you wish to become part of our society. Learn The Language''! ''Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push,but a fact because Christian men and women, on Christian principles,founded this nation,and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you,then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home,because God is part of our culture''. ''We will accept your beliefs,and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us''. ''This is OUR COUNTRY,OUR LAND, AND OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will aw you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,whining,and griping about Our flag,Our Pledge,Our Christian Beliefs, or our way of life,I highly encorage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE''. ''If your not happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted''.

Thanks for the great trip down memory lane because I remember it well.
Remember the purple & white 55 Chevy that cruised the streets?
I asked him what ever happened to it and he said a gal borrowed it and wrecked it.
I still have a set of olds flipper hub caps from back then. Those 15'' just will not fit anything today.
