He was jailed last month for destroying genetically modified crops and served about six weeks in jail in 2002 for ransacking a McDonald's restaurant construction site."

He must of found out that the "McRib" sandwich is actually SPAM pressed in the shape of babyback ribs.

Good idea!

Arnold is...everywhere.

Just like Tourist Guy. Could they be one and the same?

Wow -- I'm a writer. If my assignments stop coming in, will the French government pay me? I'm sure I write at least 4 months out of any given year...

Why do leftists want to stop the Tour?

Hmmmmm,perhaps it's because Socialists enjoy hindering individual creative success.

Higher . . . little more to the left . . . little lower . . . ahhhhh!.

"Why do leftists want to stop the Tour?"

I can answer that question! Leftists want to stop competition on all levels of Society. Leftists want to make everyone equal, and no one individual to have more than another. In other words, leftists want Communism. Leftists refuse to recognize Communism as a failed form of government. Leftists think that "if they had just done ________ differently, then it would have worked."

Well said!

Strike threatens Tour de France From correspondents in Gap, France

July 15, 2003 A REGIONAL group of performing artists has threatened to interrupt the Tour de France cycling race if the government does not abandon a plan to cut their unemployment benefits.

Group spokesman Laurent Eyraud issued what he called a "solemn appeal" to President Jacques Chirac to maintain the benefits that French performers, theatre workers and others still enjoy.

If Chirac does not comply, "the Tour will not come to Paris," Eyraud told France 2 television.

-------------------------

Newsflash: Chirac has summoned his Administration to his secluded Villa, to discuss terms of the French government's Surrender!

[Destructor]

Thank you. Glad to find a fellow traveler.

[MEG33]

You'll be pleased to know there's a lot of people on FR who know it from the 1800s to 2003.

That is great.. worthy of Registered!

[rockfish59]

Aren't theses 'cyclists' the same type who block traffic with their 'Critical Mass' rallies in San Francisco?

I call them 'DOB's' (Dorks On Bikes) and they are the worst road hazard out there as you always seem to come up to them around a blind curve where you have to swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid hitting them.

If these clowns want to 'share the road' then they should have to register and license their bicycles like the rest of us who pay for the roads!

[detsaoT]

Hehehe, thanks. I've got a better idea, let me see if I can crank it out real quick...
