I learn something new everyday. In this case, I learn about a despicable, anti-Semitic French comedian and his creation- the quenelle, a modified Nazi salute. I also learn something I didn't know about NBA basketball star, Tony Parker, a French citizen.

I am heartened by the response coming from certain French leaders on this. As for Parker, I hope he will apologize for this and show us that he really doesn't share the feelings of this jerk, Dieudonne.

Update: Parker has apologized.

Maybe the appropriate penalty for a Nazi salute would be cutting off the hand that formed it.
