WARNING! The Following Post Contains Pro-French, Elitist, Liberal Content ...

this morning, i was reading the latest issue of The Boston Phoenix on the train to work. YES PEOPLE IT'S A DIRTY LIBERAL RAG!!!! BOO!!!!! but hey, i like it. anyway. i took particular offense to the ideas expressed in this paragraph in this article ...

"Among other things, Republicans have been trying to paint Kerry as somehow French, which apparently is now considered prima facie evidence of cultural elitism and anti-Americanism. The Republican National Committee mocked Kerry’s "misery index" of Bush economic failures by releasing an "Index De Le Miserables." And after Kerry suggested to Tim Russert during a recent Meet the Press interview that he had met some foreign leaders at restaurants in New York, House majority leader Tom DeLay actually said, "I don’t know where John Kerry eats or what restaurants he attends in New York City. But I tell you, at the Taste of Texas restaurant — it’s this great steak house in Houston, Texas — the only foreign leader you meet there is called filet mignon."

first of all, what is wrong with being french? why is having french blood a bad thing? because france didn't back the US in this sham of a war? a lot of countries didn't. the french government has it's problems but i was very pleased that this time they didn't turn around and let the US .... you know .... do that thing that was once outlawed in texas but was then deemed unconstitutional... you know ... wink wink.

by the way, i'm french. my parents come from france. i come from a long line of french peasants. 100% through and through. but i don't sound french, and maybe that is what makes me particularly dangerous ...... be careful.... we look like you ... we don't all wear berets or smoke, and (unfortunately for me) we aren't all reed thin and naturally stylish ...but we're out there ....WATCH YOUR BACK! WE MIGHT MAKE YOU DRINK GOOD WINE!!! AND EAT BRIE!!!!!

as for having culture....why is that voters in this country think that having any sort of culture is a liability? i want my president to be smarter than me. to have gotten better grades in college than i did. to speak more than one language. and to speak english correctly. why is mediocrity so highly prized in this country? why?

by the way, i was born in the US so i'm an american citizen...so you can't throw me out...heh heh.

we now take you back to your regularly scheduled program.
