Lay It On The Line
Now here’s someone who takes that deux langages stuff seriously.
Laurent at Polyscopique is now running (an impeccable) English translation side-by-side with his original French posts, and it’s well worth a look.
You might also want to check his take on the Triumph the Insult Dog imbroglio.
I wasn’t going to comment on it, because I almost reflexively blow off anything that sets politicians to strutting around with their puffed-up indignation.
Besides, I thought it was just plain dumb. Stupid schoolyard taunts masquerading as humor.
For a more polished example of the latter, the South Park gang came north of the border last night and proceeded to lampoon every Canadian sacred cow in sight, and it was hilarious, especially when they pulled Canada’s new P.M. out of his spidey-hole to reveal . . . Saddam Hussein.
Now that was funny. (It might explain a few other things, too.)
