Hi all. I just wanted to stick my head in and share my double happiness with everyone.

I am celebrating!!!!!! I am delirious that france LOST the Olympic bid. Jock chirac must be happiness-strapped today. Jacques, can you say comeuppance?

Is this an example of God working in wonderful ways? Perhaps.

I also am even happier that -- England -- one of our major allies in the war on terror (GENERAL NOTE to liberals & euroweenies: yes, the WOT includes Iraq) will host the 2012 Olympics. If it cannot be the U.S. then I am happy for England.

NOTE: I have french blood, so I look forward to no posts about how I am picking on france, thank you. I am entitled.

I guess I am even more happy because I was told in error early this morning that france had won the bid, and I replied tersely with that story about that rude chirac saying that mad cow was about the only contribution England had made to Europe... So you can imagine how nice it is to know that was an error and indeed England won the bid dispite the fact that many considered france as the top contender right up until the winner was announced! What a stunning upset! More french whine anyone?

Just like clintoon, we feel your pain, chirac...
