France and the US

It is nice to see the USA working with French authorities on a UN Resolution, even though France has backed out of that.

I watched a French movie today, not pornography, and realized just how much alike we are. The US is a democracy, surprise.Pres. Bush has a 29% approval rating. Unless he can pull a rabbit out of a hat this next election, the Republicans are in trouble. Europeans seem to think that the churches in the US are running this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. For example, abortion is legal foe any reason up to to time of viabilty. Abortion is the thorn in the side of the evangelicals since 1973. Also, the evangelicals are against gay rights, yet gays in this countries have all the civil rights as anyone else. Now they want gay marriage, so far only Mass. has it, but time is still going on and I'll bet in five years gay marriage will be an accepted fact.

I understand that Louis XVI's execution actually took some time because the blade of the guillotine stopped HALFWAY DOWN HIS NECK AND THREE PEOPLE HAD TO PUSH IT DOWN.

Is that true?

I know decapitation isn't all it's made out to be, because you are still alive for at least a few minutes afterward (as made evident during the Reign of Terror), but WOW!

Look, if it weren't for you guys, the United States would never have won her independence from England. Unlike many Americans, I remember that and say, "Merci beaucoup!"

The problems between our two nations began when that coke-addicted whino stole the election in November of 2000 and will likely end when he leaves in January of 2009.

For now, I buy French wine and display the Tricolor next to Old Glory, just to piss my neighbors off.

In America the am radio talk show host are keeping much of the hard feelings alive. Most Americans now believe we shouldn't have gone to Iraq in the first place. There were no WM D's or terrorist there. Now there are terrorist there and we don't know how to get out!
