Chirac Folds Like a Frenchman!

In a stunning and unprecedented move the French government has capitulated on policy in the face of mild pressure, TDS has learned (after Time, CNN and the AP). On Monday "President" Jacques Chirac announced that he would replace the Youth Jobs Law championed by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin that would have allowed French employers to fire workers under the age of 26. Prime minister Villepin was contacted for comment but his mouth was to full of crow to respond.

For the youths on the streets of France this is a victory in the face of a government attempting to gainfully employ and advance the car burning hordes. Said on rioting youth, "I am not sure why we are burning this car but I don't have a job so I am free for whatever. I sure wish that the Prime Minister would pass reforms so that I could get a job, buy a newspaper and form an intelligent opinion."
