" I've been to Green Bay.
I didn't see anything
like this French morsel . . ."

You better move quick. California is loaded with much more tasty morsels, and they know how to bathe.

Then perhaps you want to boycott saudi oil?

I'm a firm believer in doing what you can do. I don't sit back and do nothing just because I can't do it all. I'd have a heck of a time boycotting Saudi oil, or even tracing it to the gas stations I use -- you know that-- but why should that stop me from doing what's right in the smaller ways?

This is a pissing match between CNN and OReily.

CNN called to end the boycott, (which corp wants access to france?). OReily,thus fox, calls to continue to punish france.

Who will america listen to?



CNN who?

Also please lets boycott products made in countries that arent in the following list.

I don't think you read my post. I do the best I can. I do what I can do. I don't stomp my feet and cry, "Waaa!" because I can't do it all. I don't sit back and ponder whether I should do anything simply because I can't do everything.

I boycott French-made products, but I also do my best not to buy items made in China. And I go out of my way to find American-made products and products made by our allies. I boycott certain singers and actors because they take our money, build a platform with it, and spit on us from that platform. If you find something childish in that, I don't know what to tell you.

I also am a lover of Brie cheese. I recently shopped for some and most of them were French (of course) I did find one made in America and bought it. Not even close to a good French Brie. Still, I will not buy French products.

A CNN reporter called for the end of the boycott day before yesterday. OReily is just squashing CNN.

ok this is not a boycott as much as an "ignore"

France is being ignored as simply as one would ignore an unimportant fly in a neigboring state.

So are we really going to do a boycott? Or is everyone jumping on the hate france bandwagon like a bunch of little kids?

Yippee! Jump on the Bandwagon! Wahoo!

Hate France! Hate France! Hate France!

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

If it was waterman, theu USED to be french owned.

The company started in the USA, was bough by the french, THEN was sold to the Sanford company which is owned by rubbermaid in 2001.

Just incase that was the company in question.

Really ? Well, thanks for the Monty Python reference, anyway. I don't think I have much use for Mr O'Reilly (isn't he the guy who got involved in a sexual harassment case recently ? Oh well, to each his own.)

BTW, what on Earth is the Nuclear Freeze Club ?

Maybe, maybe not.
Denis Leary once worked with
Sandra Bullock and

he said she smelled bad.
Michael Crichton knows many
Hollywood hotties

and has written that
for their careers they must do
so much grooming that

once they're successful
(or on their own, quiet time)
gorgeous LA girls

make a fashion point
to not bathe or use perfume
like "normal" women.

You can run from France,
but sooner or later the
French way will get you!

I buy all my cheese in Mexico, where they really understand what cheese is supposed to taste like.

All american cheese is bland. It is because we don't really care about cheese here. It is just something that is added to other things.

Chris's tone is a wee bit caustic for a newbie.
