  1. “Lech, we more than pay them back for that via bailing their ass out during both world wars”

    Not sure I agree with this simplistic view of what happened in WWII, frankly. Another way to look at it is France acted as a nice buffer / whipping boy for an enemy that was inevitably going to come into conflict with us, a conflict that could only be won by eradication of the enemy. If you accept that premise then our invasion of occupied France was hardly a charitable act and France did us a favor by getting the snot kicked out of them and spreading the Germans thin before we rolled in.

  2. hey losers,

    …don’t even get me started on France,
    but then again, they’ve been a lot less annoying
    since they put Sarkozy in.
    I’m even buying French wine and Champagne again,
    I like their blanc de noirs.

    random great French film recommendation:
