I’m eternally grateful to the Annenberg/CPB project for funding the creation of “French in Action,” a total-immersion language learning series featuring Pierre Capretz.

Merci bien!

The Annenbergs were conservatives. Foundations established by conservatives usually get hijacked by liberals

But, I guess you do not have an extra billion dollars laying around?

Liberals are like viruses. They can't produce ANYTHING. They can only consume.
