The French.

Foud on another site.

The fact that the Louvre heist didn't take place at dawn, but at the very reasonable hour of 9:30 AM shows that even French jewel thieves have a better work life balance than us.

Daily Scene in the Louvre, a 1911 cartoon by Samuel Ehrhart, shows patrons blatantly stealing works from the museum after an inventory at the time found that over 300 canvases were missing.......

And people are shocked!
Doesn't happen here...
Oh Wait... We're being robbed every day by trump and no one bats an eyelash.
Welcome to the latest graduation class of the 1970s Republican Stupidification of America.
I'm comfy in my slightly above average middle class well covered medical life so what trump's doing isn't bothering me and I'm sure he'll stop soon! Too many people are making a big deal of all this political stuff. We need to get back to important things like the Wives of the wealthy in Hollywood, more supposed real life crime shows on TV (we all know that only crime happens in the slums!), and we really need better communication for our phones. Why, just the other day mine went down for an hour! Couldn't tell my friends what I did before the outage.
Gotta go. Have to get the kids to ballet and soccer practice.
Ta!
