Payback time for the French

In light of Barack’s behavior towards Iran compared with President Sarkozy, it would be most fitting if the French parliament passed a bill renaming “American cheese” as “fromage de liberté”.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Or Coca Cola "boisson de liberte"

I’m not sure they have American cheese (since they’ve got about 300 others that are better).

But they sure like Coca Cola. I was at a lunch once with several Parisians. I was the only one who ordered wine. They ordered Cokes.

Ahh The French!

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

This has nothing to do with the French, but it's an open thread, so here's the headline:Palin wildly popular among Republicans!

According to the Pew Research Center, Palin’s favorability among evangelical and conservative Republicans stands at about 73% with unfavorability at about 16%. The story can be found here:

“God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.”- Billy Currington

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge.
