SACREBLEU!

What is going on in France? Now I'm hearing that upwards to 10,000 may have died from the heat. Aside from the obvious jokes ("The French are such wimps they surrender to the weather!"), why have so many people died from it being hot? Assuming that it just doesn't get that hot there normally - aren't they a first world country? Why are they unable to take care of their aged population? What about this "holy" socialized health care I always hear about? Where is that? France's population is roughly 20% that of the United States, so that percentage of deaths would equal 50,000 here. Can you imaging 50,000 Americans dying just because it got hot? What would the Democrats be saying if 50,000 people died under "Herr Bush's 43rd reich"?

What this says is "old Europe" isn't the blessed socialist utopia the liberals think it is. It seems their vaunted universal health care is pretty shabby under the lamest of conditions. Hillary, do you still want to force one of your precious cards on me? I bet you do, you wench.
