Small loss to humanity. Truly, only the good die young.
There’s a salutary tale in the dangers of apathy when confronted by fringe fanatics like him. After the first round of the presidential election in 2002, when le Pen made into the run-off against Chirac, Le Monde ran a cartoon of an elderly couple talking in their home. The wife says something like ‘it’s a disgrace he got to the second round’ and the husband replies ‘it’s not our fault – we didn’t vote.’ Now the FN/RN is the largest opposition party in France.
The Le Pen family had their roots in Nîmes, so in aristocratic days they were Le Pen de Nîmes. Calling him after half a pair of trousers was a nod to their past social standing. Adding Marie was just une extraction de pi55e.Originally Posted by seanfhear

David Lynch,marmite director but I liked his style.
He made some aggressively weird movies. I didn't like half of them, but I've never regretted watching one. People use his name as an adjective in film criticism, but he was one of the most distinctive voices in American cinema.
