Remmber that old song . . . . "I love Paris in the summer . . . when it sizzles" :-)

I read this article.

Sounds like a bunch of drunken, copy-cat students doing idiotic things.

On a side note, I have banned the purchase of all French-made products since the start of the Iraq war - as punishment for France's intransigence.

But now that the new Beajolais' have been released...hmmmm, I may have to reconsider and buy one bottle.

But after that, I'm back on boycott. I promise.

...clashes between students and police.

Students: a P.C. way of saying "muslim" or "Islamo-fascist"

LOL!

... was an isolated incident in a country that had largely returned to normal ...

Friday's violence broke out after between 2,000 and 3,000 people, mostly students, left bars where they had been celebrating the arrival of the popular French wine, which traditionally goes on sale on the third Thursday of November.

Scum.... But where can you deport them to? It turns out that the Muslims may be the most civilized people in France.

Thousands of drunken young people attacking firefighters and police for no particular reason.

Sounds like Spring Break.

I think stuff like rioting is all Beaujolais Neuvo is good for.

The French have their wine riot in 2005. The USA had their beer riot in 1855. Canada had (our biggest) hockey riot in 1955. We don't riot over hockey games as much any more -- finally figured out that a riot is redundant.

What? You find France being on fire in the fall to be far fetched?

Beaujolais?
Wasn't that a wine the French used to sell?

LOL!
(Last time I saw a bottle of the stuff, it was priced below the wines from Chile and Argentina!)
