Keeping mum: Carla Bruni shows off bump at last, but she still won't announce she's pregnant
0 comments Posted by org at 10:05 AM
It can only be a matter of time now before Carla Bruni finally announces her pregnancy.
She's toyed with the French media in TV appearances, and has hidden her tummy behind oversized handbags to avoid giving anything away...
But here, at last, is the evidence that Carla has a 'croissant' (or two) in the oven.
Carla finally ditched the frumpy outfits we've see her in for weeks today and stepped out in a short white dress that clearly showed a bulging baby bump.
She even openly joked about the pregnancy rumours in front of the cameras, pointing to her stomach while chatting to Geertrui Van Rompuy the European Council President's wife.
Carla wore a smart black coat over the dress - but it looked unlikely that she would be able to do the buttons up over her bump.
Her usual high heels were also replaced with more modest black kitten heels.
The First Lady is in Deauville to accompany her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is attending the G8 summit.
Spouses of the G8 leaders will be meeting on the sidelines of the formal summit, in the French seaside resort, to discuss issues including the fight against illiteracy.
Carla adopted her typical pose of arms over her tummy for a picture with Maria Barroso, the wife of European Commission President, Laureen Harper the wife of Canadian Prime Minister, Geertrui Van Rompuy the wife of European Council President and Svetalana Medvedeva the wife of Russian President.

Synopsis
Julie Wormser lives in comfort in St Tropez with her wealthy husband, Louis, who, 18 years her senior, has been forced into early retirement after suffering a heart attack. Julie is apparently unperturbed by her husband’s impotence and heavy drinking until the day she meets Jeff, a handsome young writer with whom she begins a secret love affair.Not content to help Louis Wormser getting drunk every night and make love on the living room carpet, the two lovers decide to remove this annoying husband, by pretending to have drowned after falling off his boat .
Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan. Having disposed of Louis’s body, Jeff heads off to Italy in the victim’s car, leaving Julie to face the police alone. Commissioners Lamy and Villon appear to accept her story that Louis fell off his boat after having suffered a fatal heart attack, but Julie is then shocked to learn that on the day before his death Louis withdrew all his money from his bank and put his house up for sale. Louis’s car is then found, smashed up at the foot of a precipice, with no sign of a body. With both Louis and Jeff missing, and her fortune evaporated, Julie is at a loss to understand what is happening.

France Deports Illegal Immigrants, is Compared to Third Reich by EU Justice Commissioner
0 comments Posted by org at 10:01 AMFor the past few months France has seen an incursion of gypsies across its borders. The gypsies, or Roma, are nomadic people from Romania who have set up camps in France. Per a report in the Associated Press:
In recent weeks, French authorities have cleared out some 100 illegal immigrant camps, most inhabited by Gypsies — also known as Roma, a nomadic ethnic group believed to have roots in the Indian subcontinent.The gypsies, or Roma, have been given some money by the French government and returned to Romania via commercial airlines.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has predictably drawn substantial criticism from liberal European politicians, inferring that the deportations are "racist." Once again we see the leftist brain hard-wired to act against its own self interests:
Earlier this week, EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding sharply criticized France's deportations of Roma and linked them to France's mass deportations of Jews during World War II. She later expressed regret over the wartime comparison, but maintained her threat to take France to court for targeting an ethnic group in the expulsions.French conservatives have voiced disgust and outrage over Reding's slander and threats. La Pensee Neoconservatrice had a post "Vivian Reding Should Shut Her Trap." The article charges Reding with ignorance of history. They write:
Perhaps Reding doesn't know that the Third Reich did not deport gypsies by [commercial] aircraft, nor give them a sum of money so they wouldn't be broke, nor coordinate the deportations with the country of origin.Another writer at La Pensee Conservatrice criticizes the liberal notion, as voiced by Danielle Mitterand, wife of the former French president, that "we are not the earth's owners, but only its stewards" and therefore people should be allowed to go wherever they want, regardless of national borders.
Dave writes:
It's been a long time since we've heard from the bigamist President's wife. A long time since we've heard her far left positions, her politically correct garbage, and to be honest, no one was the worse for it. She, wife of the French president who found Fidel Castro a formidable ally in the fight for freedom, now has declared that "we are not the owners of the earth, but only its stewards."It's interesting to note that illegal or unwanted immigration is not only a problem for the United States; it is felt also in Europe, with the same results: liberals want to erase national borders and scream "racism" (or some variant thereof) against all who disagree.
Ecological expert? Not at all, the old battle ax was referring to the unacceptable policy of the government against the gypsies, a "nomadic people whom they want to prevent from crossing borders."
So for Danielle Mitterand, eternal Care Bear, anyone can move anywhere because the Earth does not belong to us.
I therefore advise the Romas who live in fear of being returned to Romania with their little government-alloted nest egg, to make their camp at the home of Mrs. Mitterand: her property is not her own and she will be overjoyed to welcome them, right?
I suspect that she won't really do it, but if all the people of good conscience who criticize the government [over these deportations], gave lodging to only one family in their homes, the problem would be quickly solved!
