In Jerry Lewis's first film in a decade, he plays Bo Hooper, an unemployed circus clown who can't seem to hold down a job. The film opens with a brief montage of clips from past Lewis movies. He then moves into a succession of jobs that he gets himself fired from including a gas station attendant and a mailman - all with disastrous results.

> On the other hand, languages like French are extremely rich in insults for stupid people
No you cannot use "on the other hand." Languages like English have at least as many if not more insults for stupid people: dumbass, shit-for-brains, dipshit, blockhead, imbecile, dullard, doofus, slack-jawed yocal, and the famous one from Mark Twain, "an idiot of the 33rd degree."
> After food and wine, the French worship the life of the mind.
And apparently the films of Jerry Lewis[1]. So let's say those end up canceling each other out[2].
> The United States, on the other hand, elected Donald “Celebrity Apprentice” Trump over Hillary “I Have a 12-Point Plan” Clinton.
I certainly cannot defend Trump's ban on Muslim face coverings in public schools[3]. There is no denying that is due to virulent strain of anti-intellectualism that has grown to dangerous-- one might say fascistic-- levels as of late.
