| #15 Now that France's illicit Oil-for-Bribes scheme is temporarily interrupted, they will need to conserve power or find alternative sources of funding for their 'elected' officials. |

| #13 [cue Circle of Life track] Refrigerant use threatens the very environment that we depend on. Old people are biodegradable. Besides we can sell excess power to Italy a country that bought into the no nukes canard, and prop up our limping economy. Also with oil prices are high, we can jack up our prices and rake in more dough. [picture fades] |

| #12 As almost all their power is atomic... why don't the French just give their poor elderly airconditioners for heat waves. If capitalists US cities can do it then the socialist Frogs should be installing central air and hot/cold showers all powered by their clean nukes! |

| #11 I think the French government should name their summer holiday abandonment of their elderly to the heat. I recommend Operation Logan's Run. |

| #2 "Tasteless" wouldn't even begin to cover it; it would show an utter contempt for the French people, the French government, and a complete lack of respect for everything France holds dear. My bet is 6250 Frogs croaked, by September 1st. |

| #1 Would it be tasteless to start a pool? Closest to the number of French dead in the next heatwave without going over wins? |
