did y'all read about the lastest problem the french are having. It appears that the Almighty isn't too pleased with them either. They have suffered an unusual April frost which has wiped out about 50% of this year's champagne grapes. Awwww!
It seems to me that they're trying to make amends, albeit in their arrogant whiney fashion and get the US to forgive them They called and begged Bush to speak with Chirac earlier this week. It's being reported their tourist trade and exports to the US is down by about 25%.
Now, they can call Bush and beg the government to soften its stance now that they've seen the light (and felt the pinch). But what they fail to realize is that AMERICANS are really mad. Frankly, our government can do what it wants (that's not quite true, but it works for my rant), but I am not going to forgive or forget. And I won't be buying french products. Or, traveling through that geography.
