Patton <\/span>goes to France<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

How crowded could the Louvre be?
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Very
\nfucking crowded, especially since the staff had some sort of problem
\n(croissants late?  an undefined malaise brought on by a grey
\nrealization of the futility of love?) and had to open late.  <\/font><\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Now I have something in common with our “I believe in angels but not evolution” President: I hate the French.<\/font><\/div>\n

I
\nloved Paris.  If there was a way to replace all the Parisians with,
\nsay, people form Finland or St. Louis or something, then aces.<\/font><\/p>\n

Look,
\nI was so embarrassed when all the dumbshits in this country started
\ntheir we-hate-the-French, “freedom fries” bullshit that I HAD to take
\nthe side of the French.  It’s like, when some douchebag you hate hates
\nsomething, then even if you haven’t experienced it, you’re going to
\nlike it.<\/font><\/p>\n

Out
\nof spite, and probably because — okay, I’ll put it this way.  Say
\nthere’s some asshole, this guy who thinks that Limp Bizkit and Linkin
\nPark are the greatest bands on the planet, and he announces that he
\nhates a band called Train.  And you’ve never heard the band train but,
\nyou figure, this guy’s such a shit-bucket intellect, I’m going to love
\nTrain.<\/font><\/p>\n

But then you hear “Meet Virginia” and “Drops of Jupiter”, and you go, “Oh Jesus, that moron’s right.”<\/font><\/p>\n

Parisians were my “Meet Virginia.”<\/span>
