Oo-la-la. The french-fries war must be over. And woe to those who utter the phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."

The Congressional French Caucus has come to town, the brainchild of Rep. Amo Houghton, who announced its existence Wednesday during a luncheon with French Ambassador Jean-David Levitte and former French Prime Minister Edouard Balladur.

Fromage-eating capitulation primates is much more civil, don't you guys agree?

Our lawmakers can make nice with those stuffy backstabbers all they like. It still won't make me buy French wine, visit Paris, or lower my middle finger which has been extended to the East for many months.

Amo's going to be sleazing around with Hilliary at an Upstate NYS high school today. Click here for one local rag's smarmy take on the visit. Which wasn't announced till this morning as far as I know. Gee, what confidence Her Heinouss has in the warmth of her welcome.

Indeed, Much more civil...A middle finger salute to the Franks. :))

We're not giving them the finger. In the new spirit of reapproachment, we're telling them that French culture is still #1.

The middle fingered raised in salute says it best. French culture is #1.

...telling them that French culture is still #1.

...potty humor???

[witnesstothefall]

For this American, the French have ceased to exist, except as an irritant to be managed.

The French government counterattacked, accusing the Bush administration of an "organized campaign of disinformation" that accused France of aiding Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

But the French were helping Hussein... And in the 1980's they were helping him build a nuclear reactor!

Over the salmon, beef and fancy sorbet at the ambassador's residence, the New York Republican explained that it was time to make nice

Go make nice.

I'm still buying Australian wine and American cosmetics.

The French won't get another dollar from me, if I can help it.

Was scrounging around my local Trader Joe's last weekend looking for an inexpensive wine to use for cooking. They had a burgundy at $2.99, but it was from France. Paid a dollar more for a California merlot. Tasted quite nice in the stew I made. Muck the French!
