Japanese, though - I try to avoid them, Chinese, Korean, and German whenever possible.

If you're doing that for nationalistic reasons, that's one thing. But if you're looking at quality for the buck (which is really my only consideration), then Yokohama makes a heck of a good tyre, better than anything I've seen come out of the US. If you can turn me onto something better, I'm more than willing to take a look at it.

I keep hearing rumors that some of California’s elite left winos (lefties owning California vineyards) have cancelled scheduled vacations in France this month due to his/Sarkozy’s election.

I don’t know where he is staying. There are a few nice houses on the lake. Personally, I would have gone in the fall, though, rather than summer.

"...staying in a luxurious villa owned by Mike Apple, a former Microsoft executive..."

Except his name is not Mike Apple, it's Mike Appe (Pronounced "App-ee").

He's a great guy.

Considering it’s the U.K. Telegraph I wouldn’t read too much into the news given that Brits enjoy rattling the French.

Boycott is still on but Sarko is a major improvement over Chirac. Nothing is perfect as we see with W and any other politician. It is interesting how elections can change things in countries. At the start of the W Presidency France had Chirac and now Sarkozy (upgrade), Britain Blair and now Brown (downgrade),Germany Schroder and now Merkel (another upgrade), Canada Chretien and now Harper (huge improvement there), Australia Howard and still going strong but that too will change.

I've seen your palm trees. Nasty bugs sometimes hide in them.
