This could be the beginning of the end of Bush's new lap dog. He will make more enemies and more the opposition will gain. He could be walking into a vote of no confidence.


French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced more than 22,000 job cuts in the civil service in order to reform the country's bulging public sector.

He said thousands of employees retiring next year would not be replaced.

The move comes a day after Mr Sarkozy outlined plans to overhaul the pension benefits of 500,000 mainly public sector workers.

France's transport unions have described the plans as unacceptable, calling for a strike next month.

Sarkozy seems to be taking on a pampered union. Good luck with that move.

It is the same story no matter where you go, the conservatives want to cut jobs and stick their noses in where they do not belong.
