‘Scout Doesn’t Get It’ Friday

Not that I’m always on top of everything, however I lack the skill of language (my syntax proves that). I speak english and an ancient indigenous dialect….that’s it. They passed me in grade 9 french if i promised not to take it in grade ten….deal!
My blogstats show a tag to a French (as in Parisian) site….20Minutes. It’s for the ‘Tony of Arabia’ post. I can’t tell if the mention of Harper Valley is in a letter, feedback or what. Here’s the french site with the page that has the link to HV:

Here’s the englisih translation but I’m lost on it:
If anyone can solve this mystery I promise that Q will send you 25 cents.

It’s a blog round-up on reactions to Blair as an envoy of peace. *cough* :
“The blog Harper Valley imagined a film poster: “Tony of Arabia (…) with Tony” the poodle “Blair, rewarded by seven Oscars for the best blunder and opportunism”.

I’ll take a stab at the title…
“Who’s going to cry? Only a few.”
If anyone can correct this, go nuts.

Q….glad to see you’re on duty and on the ball……btw, it’s a lego ferry.
jj….well thanks, but i doubt i’ll get more then a couple of clicks. hmmmm, that sounds rude.
i think i’ll forego today’s protest as shawn brant has gone and armed some mohawks for a blockade…not cool….the ‘real day’ now is condsidered july 1st anyways…..makes sense, canada day and the forces aren’t going to be out en masse again. think i may just stand somwhere on bowen with a sign……..was in vancouver yeseterday and just about died from the fumes and noise.
let me know what happens in your neck of the woods….great, good on ya
