What have the French ever done for us? I mean besides helping us win independence. I mean besides all those cool burgundies that are almost as good as Oregon pinots! I mean besides Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and the stained glass of Chartres and the soaring spaces of Amiens and the quiet splendor of Tournus and Autun and Vezelay and St-Sernin. I mean besides Derrida and Foucault and Iragaray and Kristeva. I mean besides Moliere and Baudelaire and Hugo and Prevert. I mean besides brie and camembert and millefeuille. I mean besides Audrey Tautou. Hmm. Okay, I'll give them Audrey Tautou! And the guillotine! That was a pretty cool invention! Great times were had by all!
But why is that French guy always on the Rec List? I mean what does he know, besides energy and health care and economics and politics and stuff like that? And since when does knowing something automatically qualify someone to be on the Rec List? And French fries aren't even French, they're Belgian, so wtf?
And France is socialistic! They tax their people and spend the money on trivialities like high speed rail and health care and schools and things that nobody in America needs or wants or would ever use! And they speak French! It's like another whole language, and it's really hard to pronounce, and then you just end up sounding like the guys from Monty Python, so why even bother- and why can't they learn English, anyway? And have you ever tried to listen to French Rock 'N' Roll? I mean, seriously!
So, it's time everyone started boycotting diaries by French people, rather the Rec'ing them! Diaries by people from Paris! Which is in France! Daily Kos is our own political blog, and if they want to have their own political blog they should start their own political blog, but who cares about French politics, anyway? After all, we're the most exceptionalistic country in the world!
