ROFLMAO...

Oh yeah, that pesky right wing conspiracy. Pass the cheese.

They are so famous for cheeses in France, they ought to name one "TFB Cheese." It would be fitting.

Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me however if a Klintoonian representative were actually involved in France's UN/Oil program w/ Iraq.

The US media (liberals) are too busy trying to defeat Bush. That is their mission, whatever it takes.

Watch it - they can put on a huge intimidating military display with the carrier battlegroup centered around the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. It dominates the sea lanes for hundreds of meters around its drydock.

If the conservative journalists keep this up for another week, the French will surrender to Fred Barnes.

Just curious: what is the year in which the Epicurean Handbook was published?

That photo makes me laugh every time I see it. If the USA was being invaded and had surrendered, you would see tears on my face, a gun in my hand, and a pile of dead enemies where I fell. You would not see me standing on a street corner with a bunch of women.

Yes ... then they'll surrender!

I was being facetious. However, my selection was correct and came from a website of French Cheese where this variety of wine was recommended for this particular cheese.

Do ya think I'd steer you wrong? {LOL}

No, I didn't think you'd lead me astray. I just wanted to put my "hands on in France in the 70's training in French wines/cheese" against today's standards and see if/how they've changed.
