"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.'

"Dogs smoke in France" -- Ozzy Osbourne
"I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French."
