Quelle horreur!

So Nicolas Sarkozy lands in the U.S. and says that French people love wearing American jeans and American burgers and pizza, and that all French parents want their kids to study in the U.S. How much do you think this guy makes les français squirm? (By the way, just a hunch, but I think he wins next year's election. Not really going out on a limb there, given him and Ségolène Royal are tied in pretty much every poll, and have been since about March of this year).

Even stranger than a French politican singing America's praises is the U.S. government being appreciative of Syria's efforts in thwarting an attack on its embassy in Damascus. All we need now is for Mohammad Sami to become a good bowler, and we'll know the apocalypse is nigh.
