The French Connection


iconAck! Any of you out there know what these Frenchies are saying about me? Ravenwood's Universe is mentioned three separate times, once in close proximity to the french words "assez" and "bizarre", which I don't think are compliments.

UPDATE: Carine and Mike K over at Pave France were nice enough to do an English translation for me. Check the comments if you're interested. The French seem to still be a little snarky over the whole Clinton sex scandal.

Go good, since Pascal in Washington put to you in the secrecy of the possible sexual adventures of John Kerry, I deliver a Web site to you right to laugh: www.ravnwood.com/archives/002221.shtml. If not, I take down one week to go to take the fresh air of Newport, Rhode Island. There even where Kerry was accustomed to making sailing ship with JFK. If I cross a trainee, I say it to you.

You can go to http://world.altavista.com and have any website translated from virtually any language. It's not 100%, but it does the job.

"I take down one week to go to take the fresh air of Newport"

You call that a good job? English please.

The French blog that linked to you is run by the NYC correspondent of French leftist daily Libération (which partly explains the typically-French, haughty tone of the comments towards America). Here's a translation of the whole thing.

Kerry and his intern

Okay, since Pascal in Washington has let you into the secret of John Kerry's possible sexual affairs, here is a website just for fun:
www.ravnwood.com/archives/002221.shtml.
Otherwise, I'll take a break for a week and go breathe some fresh air in Newport, Rhode Island. Exactly where Kerry used to sail with JFK. If I run into an intern, I'll let you know.

If you run into an intern, don't lie to your wife and do not commit perjury if you want to become president ;)

It does look a little like a bad picture editing, doesn't it?

It cannot be her. The dress is immaculate... ;)

If you run into an intern, remember that you'd better lie to your wife than to Americans. As far as I'm concerned, I'm having a hard time understanding this religion of "pleading guilty" on subjects having so little to do with national affairs like screwing a casual chick (who was asking for it btw). In addition, would good health signs be frowned upon in the US?

Why bother? I'll ask my boss for interns too...

The Ravenwood in question is also croaking about weapons; he's a strong advocate of freedom to walk around with a gun in his pocket.
See, for example: http://www.ravnwood.com/archives/002720.shtml#002720
Kerry's position regarding his interns is a matter of personal preferences ;) but what is his position regarding the right to bear arms?

Good Lord, this campaign is going to reach record stinking levels.
If one gets the politicians one deserves, maybe one also gets the electoral campaigns one deserves...

As Jep said, Ravenwood is rather, err, strange:

Ravenwood - 10/18/2003 08:00 AM

Last month, I wrote about Google's anti-gun bigotry. While I agree that Google has every right to refuse business from people that want to advertise firearms to law abiding citizens, I pointed out that it "doesn't mean that we necessarily agree with their bigoted, narrow minded, sissified, French point of view." (...)

Oh great, here we are now... long live Google, btw.
Enjoy your vacation.

Well, its a very literal translation. It doesn't reconstruct sentences. But the above comment by Carine is nice. It's funny that your slam on the french isn't in vain. At least they are reading it, too! :)
