Here We Come/There We Go
The American keeps referring to Bastille Day, only to get blank French looks (which is like an exponential thing). Around here they just call it Independence Dat, basically. Remember, when when you drop 4 pieces of blotter for the new wave show, they're just the Furs.
Anyway I am happy to report that, though the nation favors no particular color coding of late, they have not forgotten: Plan Vigipirate remains in effect. It pre-existed 9/1, natch, since terrorism wasn't invented by Bin Laden, Hussein, Bush, nor Mike Moore (who turns out to be the most boring of the bunch -- that's propaganda these days? Seven percent of America is owned by Arabs Arabs ARABS! And mothers of dead soldiers are very sad and feel betrayed. C'mon, time to kick it up a notch like Ben Wallace in crunch time). I dislike Plan Vigipirate for several reasons, one of which is the replacement of the lovely civic waste containers by green plastic sacks hanging everywere with a flaccid bent (rhymes with accident, okay?). What I do like is the name. Say it with me now: Plan Vigipirate. Now doesn't that make you feel a whole lot better?
Click on'em to grow. They real big.
