Clueless. Must be French.

Look, I'm as patriotic as the next guy

Somehow I have trouble believing that...

Can you actually pick up a paycheck for writing such juvenile swill? And it's not even funny though I'm sure she thinks it is.

[Happygal]

Poor Tanya - she doesn't get it. Besides the fact that her article is neither clever nor witty, she doesn't understand the idea of 'Hitting them where it hurts - in their pocket'.

Our military should stop using the term "Sortie" for air missions over Iraq.

Sorry, be sure and tell your daddy hello when you call him in France today.

It is a shame when slow journalists are required to write a column on one of their slower days.

Shunning French fare is cheap patriotism

Excellent! Although I'd be happy to bash the frogs even if was expensive.

Several clues in that header.....to indicate article is worthless...

Semper Fi

French manicures. French poodles. French cuffs. French twists.

French doors. French bread. French horns. Mr. French.

French leave (desertion). The French disease (syphilis).

Even though this guy is a twit, I agree with him to a certain extent. It is pretty stupid to not eat French dressing or French toast (which, according to IHOP, is named for Joseph French, tha American that invented it). But, I will never buy anything that was actually made in France. I will never visit Paris again, a city that I really enjoyed in two previous visits. My wife will no longer use Chanel No. 5, her favorite (her idea, not mine) or any other French product. I have drank my last bottle of French wine and have eaten my last piece of French cheese. And the BMW that we had planned on buying on retirement may turn out to be a Jaguar or a Corvette. And this is not until the French or the Germans 'come around' to our way of thinking. This is forever.

How much easier is it for the little guy to express his views, than to boycot?t.That is the most effective use of our assets.

God bless you!

What I want to know is just how far are these anti-French protesters willing to go?

May I volunteer for the French poodle clearance squad?

[gridlock]

Cheap patriotism is good. Dear patriotism is good. Moderately expensive patriotism is good.

It's all good!

If putting "Freedom Fries" on the menu reminds people that the French are a bunch of lying, backstabbing weasles, then why not? It's "cheap" to do so, after all.

[Lil'freeper]

Are you beginning to see how "absurde" this boycott route could become?

No, but I am amazed this absurd twit got her drivel published. Her use of the term "(bleep)" reveals all about journalistic standards these days.

[jellybean]

What, I wonder, would they have us do about the Statue of Liberty, which was, after all, a gift from "les miserables" across the ocean?

Squoosh a terrorist.

Sounds like his ox is gored.
