For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
The New French Left: Very pessimistic article by Chris Caldwell in the daily edition of the Weekly Standard. His conclusion: the real news isn't how well Le Pen did but how well the Trotskyite parties did (there were four of them, and together they did about as well). It's not the rise of the hard right but the hard left. He's got a point.
