Ya cheese eatin' surrrrender monkeys

They do make good wine.

I like Rush's version:

"Theres no bread, let them eat cake
Theres no end to what theyll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

But theyre marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim
Her bloody prize free the dungeons of the innocent the king
Will kneel, and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And were marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim
Her bloody prize sing, o choirs of cacophony the king has
Kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to bastille day la guillotine -- claimed
Her bloody prize hear the echoes of the centuries power isnt
All that money buys"

For the anti french guys. An American, Flyod Landis, took the overall lead from a Frenchmen yesterday in the Tour De France. It is somewhat of a pride of France thing to have the leader of the tour be French on bastille day.

I was kidding about the surrender monkey thing, a Simpsons thing

I personally prefer California wines to French, not a political thing, just my preference.

Been a while since a Frenchman won Le Tour, what, Hinault maybe was the last one, right before Greg Lemond won it I believe

I got thrown through a plate glass window at a Bastille Day party in Dallas, Texas, many years ago. Contrary to what you see in the movies, rather than getting up and chasing the bad guys, I spent the next 2 days in the hospital. Not my favorite holiday
