PIERREFEU-DU-VAR, France (Reuters) – French President Francois Hollande said his Socialist government would do all that was needed to ensure law and order prevailed after rioting overnight in the northern city of Amiens.

Ronald Reagan did not anticipate his success when his Administration encouraged dressing up, going out to restaurants and starting one’s own business. Foreigners hold our debt, we are obese with high blood pressure and broke.
