One more demonstration that conservatives in the USA are losing their marbles

The opening sentence - the opening sentence, mind you - of today's Dennis Prager column:

One of the reasons for the ascendance of the English-speaking world has been that the English language is almost alone among major languages in having the word "earn."

The man evidently knows no foreign language, and, what is more, does not expect any of his readers to. Incidentally, whatever he was paid for this column was not money well earned.

Well, at least is not quite as bad as a certain someone asserting "The French have no word for entrepreneur" ...

Yes, but that someone was not paid for his words, and would probably have been the first to admit that he was not very clever with them. (That is probably why he does not seem to have had any notion of what "torture" and "cruel and unusual punishment" amount to.)

Well, we took the word and then they didn't have it any more! ;-)

Which is why such businesses as Carrefour, Peugeot, or Credit Lyonnais are not enterprises, and France is not one of the world's top ten economies.

Oh, that is sarcasm, by the way.
