Dovish French endure cheesy American insults By MIRO CERNETIG GLOBE AND MAIL With a report from Alan Freeman in London 3- 12- 2003 NEW YORK -- Americans accuse them of being as soft on Iraq as a slice of Brie. They endure constant reminders that U.S. soldiers saved them from Hitler. They struggle with translations of "cheese-eating surrender monkeys," a sobriquet from the cartoon series The Simpsons -- all just part of a deluge of demeaning jokes....The Enlightenment shaped the U.S. Constitution, France helped Americans win their revolution and the Statue of Liberty arrived as a gift from the French people. But most of that is forgotten at the moment, as France takes a pounding for leading the resistance to U.S. President George W. Bush's plans for war on Iraq READ ENTIRE ARTICLE

US TO INVADE FRANCE?

WASHINGTON- The U.S. warned that it may occupy France because the French have "wines of mass consumption." At the United Nations, Secretary of State Colin Powell showed satellite photos also documenting French stockpiles of champagne and goose liver, "which they won't hesitate to use." France's major offense, however, is that it is being a pain in the derrière over Iraq. "Pardon my French," said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer while wearing a green beret, "but they keep going 'non, non' when we want them to go 'oui, oui.'"

Eglin test a direct hit

Eglin Air Force Base tested the biggest nonnuclear bomb in the current U.S. arsenal for the first time Tuesday, a 21,000-pound bomb that could play a dramatic role in an attack on Iraq.

Around noon yesterday I was watching CNN's Wolf Blitzer discuss the testing of this bomb with Barbara Starr, news reporter.  Blitzer made a comment something like this: "If you look in the Old Testament, in the book Isaiah, you will find MOAB."

CNN is now lacing news reporting with biblical reference?  Did anyone else hear Blitzer say that?

AL-TAJI, Iraq (March 12, 5:36 a.m. PST) - A remotely piloted aircraft that the United States has warned could spread chemical weapons appears to be made of balsa wood and duct tape, with two small propellers attached to what look like the engines of a weed whacker.

Here's the smoking gun George W. Bush needs!  A dangerous drone made out of duct tape!  Elevate the terror alert to RED!

The Hollywood Cartel?

Is there a Miami Vice - Whitehouse Connection? Inquiring minds want to know.

Don Johnson starred as a vice officer in 1980s hit Miami Vice

Miami Vice star investigated

Don Johnson starred as a vice officer in 1980s hit Miami Vice
German authorities are investigating documents found in the car of former Miami Vice star Don Johnson that detail transactions worth $8bn (£5bn).
But a customs spokesman said there was "no indication" of illegal activity and that it was not a criminal investigation.

The actor's car was stopped for a routine check on the Swiss-German border as he entered Germany in November.

Eight billion dollars?  I repeat eight billion dollars of "transactions" found in Don Johnson's car last November?

What was Don doing, buying the country of Monaco?

There's got to be more to this story.
