Remember when the fatcats bought that Supreme Court verdict saying that
spending money on politicians is a kind of speech? Well, if you lived in
France this week, you'd be yearning for the old debate about yelling "FIRE!"
in a crowded theater.

SORGUES, France � A T-shirt worn by a 3-year-old nursery-schooler
named Jihad has led to an unusual and politically charged criminal
trial here that tests the limits of free speech � and common sense �
in a France increasingly ill at ease with its growing Muslim
population.

�I am a bomb,� the shirt said on the front. The back read, �Jihad Born
Sept. 11.�

So soon after Julia Child passed on, too.

I can guess what Guv. Perry would do if this happened in Texas. What will zee
Frenchies do?

In Texas, that child would have its ass kicked by all the three-year-
old rednecks. Perry would never know.
