In honor of Bastille Day, run out to your nearest French bistro and lift a glass - ah, go on and lift a whole bottle - to our Gallic neighbors.
They went and lost the World Cup, the star of the team let everyone down with his temper tantrum, so what else might they have to cheer for these days? Probably won't be much of a celebration this year, with all that bad news. So it's up to us to help them along, to stand along side the hapless French and sing some happy songs. Edith Piaf, where are you when we need you? Oh, right. We're in need of happy songs.
If you're holding back, still with that boycott the French business, you'll be wanting to ease up a bit today. President Chirac has been suggesting, while other world leaders are slapping Israel around, that it's looking like the other side started it all, and it's not actually Israel's fault that the bombs are falling and the rockets are flying.
Vie le France! They may not be much for fighting, but when it comes to food, they can't be beat.
