#3 I wish every state could have a Governor like Owens - especially California.

Speaking for California, we'd be better off with Chirac himself as governor, than the current joker. Berkeley shared his stance on the war, and I'm sure they'll hold a strike to make him feel at home. We don't defend our borders here, either.

And we have already taken sufficient measures from preventing any sane company from investing further in Kalifornia SSR.

#4 There's one particular product of Colorado that it would be nice to share with France. The graduates of the United States Air Force Academy, getting no closer to France than, say, 10,000 feet.

#5 I am from Mississippi and I have read nothing of any action by our State to welcome France's business!!! We drink whiskey in Mississippi, not whine.

#7 so CC, ever get to Greely, CO? The US town that had the honor (?) of having played host to Ibn Qutb and which he discussed in one of his books.

#8 Hmmm ... that seems to be a bit of a non sequitur. Actually, I have been to Greeley (misspelling on your part), named for Horace Greeley - one of the founders of the Republican party, many a time. Homebase for Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave - staunch social conservative and scourge of liberals. LH you seem to be the type of dour person who goes out of his way to find a fault with anything and any situation. No wonder the Democrats are so bereft of ideas and a moral compass.

#9 Living in God's Country - Colorado - I can only agree 100%! Owens is making the tough decisions to require our state to live within its budget, even with a serious drop in revenue.

CyberSarge - I'll join you. I may be USAF(Ret), but I grew up on Louisiana, and learned to use a firearm before I was 12. There are a couple of thousand retirees in the Springs, and they ALL hate Chirac! Once we finish with the French scheizegrenadiers, we can liberate California.

#10 whuh?? I was honestly curious - NPR did a very interesting (yes, really) piece on Greeley (geez, sorry about the spelling) sounded like a fine place, it was really intereting that Ibn Qutb was there - hes a very important figure to the Salafists you know - thought we might actually discuss something related to the WOT.

Dour person who finds fault with any situation - weird, my wife thinks im an optimist with rose-colored glasses. (And i suggest that anyone who has followed my posts here re: iraqi infrastructure can imagine why she says that)

And in any case what does my personal moodiness have to do with the Democrats - Im a human being, not just a member of a political party. I daresay every political party and every ideological group in the US and in most countries includes people of a wide range of temperments.

#11 That's my boy. Actually, my sources say Billy was afraid of getting cooties.

#12 the French embassy is now threatening an economic boycott of his state because of the snub

I'm curious. What products of Colorado does France normally buy that it could boycott?

#13 Aspen, Telluride in the winter maybe?

#14 Mustang,

Nissan is building a Truck Plant in Canton, Mississippi. Spending about $1.5 billion to assemble the new full sized Titan pickup.

Nissan's largest shareholder is....Renault.

There is your French Connection. I imagine your governor is pretty happy with the investment.
