"No to reform!"
"No to reform!" Is that a great slogan, or what?
God, I love the French.
I know Owen doesn't feel the same way. But how pleased would Owen and I both be if we Amurricans were kicking up this kind of fuss?

As would I. But Americans are well trained. They only go potty on the newspaper in the corner, they never bark unless ordered to do so, they sit up, roll over and shake hands upon command and they never, ever, chew upon the furniture.
I think it's a trait we got from the English, damn them.

Such protests may not mean much in France where they're part of the pageantry of mainstream politics. But they would mean something if they happened in Amurica.

Fuck it, Smiff. In yer goddamn dreams, man.
We had our chance in Seattle and at A16, and for a bit there in '02 and '03, but we were backstabbed by the goddamn' Donkeycrats.
Hell, never mind all the other cynical exploitation and craven fuckery; that's reason enough for me to want them to do their imitation of STS-107 in a couple of weeks.

Hot damn, and here my wife and I were the only ones left alive who remember that record. We have it as part of an awesome box set of New Orleans jazz, blues and R&B, A Big Ol' Box Of New Orleans. Man, what a cool tune.
Also thanks to A Big Ol' Box... I now know all the words to "Mother In-Law", including this line:
Satan should be her name,
to me they're about the same!
Jeezus Christ, man...
WOO-oo-oo-OOO-oo-oo-oo-OOO-ooooo...

Thus spoke Wikipedia: Sour grapes is an expression originating from the Aesop Fable The Fox and the Grapes. It refers to envious behaviour, especially pretending to not care for something one does not or cannot have, called cognitive dissonance.

Apparently in Persian, the cat, finding itself unable to reach the meat, says that it stinks.
