Ar first, I thought you were alluding to our Omni-President who chose the very same venue (Disneyland Paris) for his first public date with Carla Bruni:

Disneyland Date Has Sarkozy in the Limelight - New York Times (Dec. 2007)

Now Carla Bruni has been romantically linked to France's 52-year-old president, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mr. Sarkozy, who often says that he is proud to be called "Sarko l'Americain," was photographed with his "friend," as the French news media are calling her, on Saturday and Sunday at the most American of venues: Disneyland Paris.


Disneyland as a romantic location for a date? Imagine that...

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

Friends in late '60s LA used to like to go to Disneyland in Anaheim to drop acid.  It was safer than Magic Mountain and there was lots to trip out on.  I was grateful our son outgrew it by 10 or so.

Perhaps they could update Small world with airplanes sticking out of the twin towers and the towers collapsing, only to re-arise and repeat on the next revolution.  That would summarize the USA under GWB.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Holy mah-goaley -- that's an really good idea.

Superlative tastelessness.  Glad to oblige. Just one of the services I offer.

Superlative tastelessness is only to be expected from anyone who lived in the LA area for so many years.  

And we wouldn't have you any other way.
