Re: Republicans invade Europe! Pt. 2 (4.00 / 9)

I was kind of surprised by just how impressed he was with Paris. Not just for the beauty and food, but for how it was like a well-oiled-machine, had a sense of purpose. Maybe he thought everyone just sits around and eats cheese there. Or maybe he went to the wrong city. ;)

Well, according to the standard Repug beliefs they must've been bombarded for the past, oh thirty years or so, we, French, only work 10 hrs a week, go on vacation 5 month a year, and are on strike (and/or burning our neighbor's car) the rest of the time.
So I can understand they may have had a little bit of a surprise...
Glad they enjoyed their trip, BTW; their account is really enjoyable!

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
