From my buddy Jeff:
In light of the Madrid bombings and the finding of a bomb on their RR tracks,
France has upgraded its terror alert level from "run" to "hide."According to the French government, the only two higher levels are "surrender"
and "collaborate"
Very appropriate! And speaking of France, in elections there yesterday the Socialist party won sweeping parliamentary victories and now control 24 of France's 26 regional assemblies. I don't know what's more frightening - that France's government is now almost totally controlled by the Socialist Party or that Chirac and his party are considered the "center-right" in that country.
