We don't need your eau de crap toilet water because ... believe me ... without Americans to wear your schmattas, without Americans to subsidize your tourism, without Americans to save your ungrateful behinds war after war, you'd be just where you deserve to be - a suburb of Germany.

My favorite part of the article!

Wow Cindy is getting pretty feisty. My dog says it is Jazzy the yorkie that inspires her :-)

*Think we should order Evian? You Les Miserables are all wet. We'll do Poland Spring.*

I still think that the brand Evian is a joke on someone. Notice that Evian is "naive" spelled backwards?

I love Cindy Adams!!!!! I will SO have to print this article out and read it whenever I feel glum, as a pick-me-up.

She and Jazzy have feistiness running through their veins -- THANK GOD!!!

What's really funny is that the "lingua Franca" was actually:

"...a pidgin or trade language that flourished in the Mediterranean from perhaps as early as the 1300's until perhaps as late as the 1800's. It was a blend of Italian, Provençal (or Occitan, the language of southern France), and Catalan (the language of the east coast of Spain). It had as well hints of Spanish, Portuguese, Croatian, Greek, Turkish, and Arabic.

Its grammar was extremely reduced. There was no gender, no plural suffix, no person suffixes for verbs, no possessive or separate objective form for pronouns.... The only grammatical suffix that survived was "-to" for the past tense! We can see similar grammars in modern Pidgins and Creoles, such as Melanesian Pidgin English and Haitian French Creole. "

Me-mange, frenchy.

France Only Leads the World in Arrogance

Arrogance and......gas. :0)

[battlegearboat]

I was going through items of French origin that I have and thinking of things French that I use...and much to my surprise...I have found nothing.

There is nothing to sacrifice, nothing to boycott because I have nothing to discard or not buy.

Nothing in the book stacks either.

I have unknowingly been French free all along!

Someone tell Cindy that Perrier owns Poland Spring. No, really they do. Now, hmmm, who owns Canada Dry? Ah, maybe Cadbury-Schweppes will have to do.

Alas--their burgundy wine is like no other---Hermes scarves are the best--nothing lays like a Chanel tie--their fois gras is incomparable--their cheeses stink to high Heaven and back--and floating through their canels is wonderful.....

So much for the THINGS...Now about those lousy, spineless, greedy, smelly, cowardly, self-righteous, undermining, two-faced PEOPLE....
