We would've loved to have been in Paris for this holiday to be sure: Bastille Day! The Cool thing is how many cities in the US have "Bastille Days" as well: Seattle and Portland and Boston to name just three.
Some folks may not like to hear it but the truth of the matter is that if it hadn't been for the French, the United States might very well not be here at all. So in a way they're partly responsible for, among other things, gas-guzzling, obese Ameericans who elected (more or less), with great pomp of pride and stupidity, George Herbert Walker Calvin Coollidge Henry Harrison Butler Yeats Bush. Is that weird or what?
