After that bit of defiance to the Bush War Inc bullshit, I wanted to support France any way I could. One thing I did was choose French whenever I bought wine.

I look forward to seeing that beatiful country some day!

Liberté ~ Egalité ~ Fraternité !
Ideals worth rebelling and fighting for. France certainly has her problems, but her heart is in the right place.

to a great nation on the world stage. The USA wouldn't exist without France, and France in turn wouldn't exist as a democratic republic without the USA.

Best Bastille Day celebration I've ever been to.
Huge flattop barge moored on the canal in front with charcoal grill going (free dogs and burgers), band, and dance floor.
Free roasted/salted in-the-shell peanuts.
PAR-TAY!

Just ignore all that 'Freedom Fries' idiocy from ten years ago. They were f*****g Republicans for God's sake.

Intelligent people know who their real friends are.

A tip of the chapeau to France!
