    It’s the French who make the baguette! (And some real good coffee).

    So should we deport Anthony Bourdain? He’s a French chef.

    You Americans should remember that the French saved your butts in the War of Independence. If it were not for the French, you would all be speaking English now.

    And the people who make baguettes are very grateful.

    Rat has always been anti- ‘cheese sniffing weasels’, I mean French.

    Rat is just po-ed because he just found out that french fries aren’t really french.

    Is it bad that me and my siblings each have spouses of French-Canadian descent?

    You can’t trust anything you read on the internet.

    I know that’s true, I read it on the internet.

    Rat’s just upset that he got passed over for the lead in Ratatouille.

    I thought it was the Russians who are ruining the country. The whole “French as villains” thing is so passe’.

    Americans have ALWAYS had a “Love-Hate” relationship with the French. We admire their sophistication while hating their snobbery. We hail their brave assistance to our causes ( “Lafayette, we are here!”) while mocking their cowardice! We appreciate their kindness in gracing us with the symbol of our country (statue of liberty) while making ‘fun’ of their grand symbols (an American tourist once commented on the Eiffel Tower, "It’s pretty; when are you going to finish it?)

    In truth, we two nations, America and France, are more like brothers than we care to admit. We get along, mostly, and occasionally we join together to fight our common enemy, big brother England (and yes, England is as related to France just as we are – where do you think the “Anglo” in anglo-saxon came from?) On the whole, however, we are much more alike than we are different – and I think I just managed to totally “annoy” two whole countries, didn’t I?

    Okay, let’s go for three, shall we? Canada’s “Quebec Problem” is of their own making – they’ve allowed the french remnant of the Acadians in their population to run roughshod over others like a petulant child, probably out of guilt for kicking most of them into the swamps and bayous of Louisiana. Any particular group, when left uncontrolled, starts assuming more and more control (just like spoiled children) until they’re forced to stop – and the Canadian government has never told the Acadians to stop.

    And that’s the reason for the mess in Canada! But, believe me, I truly understand that chiding Montreal is absolutely like the pot calling the kettle black, considering what’s going on in Washington D.C. these days – currently Paris is ahead in the case of the dueling capitals (and the capital of France has moved more times than a “dust bowl Okie”), but it keeps going back to Paris.

    That’s not what a bot is. A bot is a program that posts (i.e., not a real person) hence the bot designation. A real person is a paid troll or a sockpuppet (or both).

    Another political “joke” I don’t know beginning to think about dropping this comic lately just about every strip has been political “jokes” there wasn’t that many of them in the earlier strips and that was a good thing. beginning to think Pastis is running out of material.
