(Thanks to Arthur’s Computer Adventure, which my daughter is playing on the other computer in my study, blogging resumes earlier than expected).

BLOGGER GODLESS CAPITALIST says Bush is a moron for saying that Europe isn’t anti-American. (He/she is referencing the story involving David Gregory that I link to below).

On the other hand, reader Tony Seward suggests that Bush is right:

Every Friday night in Paris there is a group of rollerbladers that get

together and do a lap through the city along with Police escort. The attendance cycles throught the year depending on holidays and weather, but there are usually several thousand and have been as many as 25,000.

Le Monde said that there were three to four thousand protesters. If there were more skaters last Friday, one might [ask] why David Gregory didn’t ask Bush how he felt about more Parisians being interested in ‘blading rather than protesting.

Unfortunately, the Pari-Roller website doesn’t have statistics past May 10, so I can’t tell how many people were skating Friday. But overall, it looks like there have been more skaters than protesters pretty much every time since the warm weather began. Advantage: Seward.
