Sounds like God is upset with the French too.

Well, gee, Jacques, sure wish I could work up a bit of sympathy for you, but if you're not going to help yourself why should I bother?

Sounds like God is upset with the French too. Knowing the French as we all do they will blame this on the US. Yep. They will say that the locust are honing in on them because they prefer their crops due to the fact that they are not genetically altered. If the US would stop growing genetically altered crops the locast spread would be evened out.

As Randy Quaid said in Independence Day to the aliens, "Payback's a b*tch, ain't it?"
Or do they not have showers and deodorant for insects?

Last year it was the heat wave. This year it's the locusts. And I just can't find it within myself to feel sorry for France. What the locusts don't rape and pillage, the muslims will finish the job.

The locust has no known predator Nonsense. I'm sure frogs will eat them. (e.g., "Let them eat locusts")

When are the frogs coming, will the Seine turn blood red, and will their first born now all die?
I too think that GOD is fed up with the French.
