International Relations

I was driving to Austin last Friday and getting in my NPR fix at the same time before I hit Waco and found the funniest Frenchman ever! On The World, they were interviewing him about his blog (vlog?) which he makes in his living room with an American flag that he went out and bought. Easily the best step forward in Franco-American relations since they began exporting Champagne. So stop by and say Bonjour America!

(In a totally related thought, I'm going to have to learn French before the 18th episode. I had way too much trouble with episode 9 (in French), but I know it had to do with Dick Cheney which, in French, sounds very much like dictionary. Thank goodness for the pictures.)

(In yet another related note, Cyrille sang a song in a recent video which included the refrain "War is bad, love is good, guns are bad, sex is good" to which one of his commenters noted that in Texas it's somewhat the opposite: sex is bad, guns are good. Like I needed reminding how red my state is. Uggh.)
