Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité"

"Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3699

Holy crap, but Monseiur Macron and Le Uncle Sam sure have taken a 
crème brulée pasting in the past month, huh? Between France being 
chased out of Niger, one of Obama's old buds being bounced out of 
Gabon, ex-French colonies all over Africa ditching the CFA Franc like 
it was radioactive... I can't pretend I'm not enjoying the former 
French Africa rolling out the guillotines for Macron, I'll tell ya' 
that for free.
