#1 Hmmm... could that tanker filled with 45,000 pounds of chocolate that overturned in New York state on Thursday have been the victim of a terrorist act?

#2 Please GWB, no compromise with france regarding tit for tat vis a vis Iraq and the Cote.

Let the little asses stew in their own piss on this one. We can do it in Iraq, they can't anywhere. Thats about enough french today for me.

#7 At least one of the rebel groups (MCPI) may have ties to the neighboring country of Burkina Faso.

Guess I am a stupid American - had no idea there was such a country. Is Burkina a deriviative of Burka?

Oh, the French are in a spot? Well, I suppose that is interesting, too.

#8 Just finished some research. Burkina Faso - 50% Muslim, formerly "Upper Volta", lots of people dying of Aids.

def: Bukina, diminutive of Burka, kinda like a mini skirt with a Robin mask

def: Faso, face

Burkina Faso - little Burka in your face

Great neighborhood. Better the French there
than us. I hope they enjoy their stay.
