The problems between our two nations began when that coke-addicted whino stole the election in November of 2000 and will likely end when he leaves in January of 2009.
For now, I buy French wine and display the Tricolor next to Old Glory, just to piss my neighbors off.
7 Read MoreTHERE IS in France an honorable, romantic tradition of going into the street to protest against the government. Much of the honor and romance, however, was earned in principled stands against a colonialist war or in solidarity with the wretched of the earth. But recent demonstrations against a new law meant to open up jobs for the 22 percent of young people in France who are unemployed has little in common with the French tradition of street protest for progressive causes.

1 Read MoreI am going to France for the sixth time, however, this is my first time in the winter (Dec 20-Jan6) and was wondering what I can expect in terms of weather and activities. We (three first timers and I) will be spending a few days with friends in Villeneuve-les-Avignon and then we will all be going to Abondance (in the Alps) for a few days and after that it is off to Paris for the last 4-5 days of the trip. We are getting Eurail passes for 4 days within one month in order to travel during our stay. I am wondering if the rail travel is limited during the winter and if the tourism in Paris is limited during this time.
3 Read MoreAmerica is a different kind of country than France,unfortunatly,we seem to let everyone in,even the illegal aliens. We have lost our soul. I have nothing against people of other cultures than my own,but they shouldn’t impose their culture on another country. When people immigrate to another country the least they can do is learn the language andassiulate. They ofcourse, can keep their religion, but must practice it peaceable. France should learn a lesson from the events of this last summer and fall. There’s an old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." I say When in France do as the French do. If you don’t like French laws and culture move some place else. Come to America, we take anyone!
