This dingaling doesn't even know what he said. Since when don't the American people want the Statue of Liberty? This knucklehead may not like the French, but Liberty stands for much more than a gift from France. After all it is our liberty that gives him the right say what he said & not go to prison. Right or Wrong, this is still the greatest nation on earth. As a veteran of the Korean "Conflict" War. I will support our Armed Forces regardless of how I feel about the reasons behind the war.

Tomwii, ROFLMOA!
Hey, can we put Jerry Lewis up for auction?
Title: One Slightly Used Loudmouth Entertainer
Description: Once part of a two-part set, the other half of the pair is no longer unavailable (Dean Martin). Formerly expert at pratfalls, and making noises that no human ear should have to tolerate. Guaranteed to make you menatlly squirm with pain when watching 33 old movies (not included) and wishing you were having a high colonic instead.
If you are insane, you are gauranteed to love this purchase. As-is.
TOS: Serious bidders need not bid, as only a complete fool would bid, therefore not one unlaughing serious person should bid. In fact, only the insane should bid. No U.S. bidders please.
Shipping: FREE to anywhere in the world. Just please take him away!
---------------
Okay, before any of you Jerry Lewis lovers flame me, I actually like a couple of his movies.
[I]The idea of race is not reflected in a person's genes, Brazilian researchers report, confirming what scientists have long said -- that race has no meaning genetically.
...There's nothing even like a really distinct subdivision of humanity...[/I]
How right you are. Maybe the article I got the three from considered then a sub-race of Negroid. Dunno. When I was in grade scool, we were taught that there were like 6 or 7. All but 2 or 3 black skinned. I guess anthroplogists chaged their opinion later.
I first searched currect auctions (in titles and descritions) with "French Rifle Dropped" and didn't find it. So I figured it was a closed auction. I then went to the Search page, then Advanced Search, clicked on "completed items only", then used the same search words. Voila!

I am also Irish and all the short jabs about being Irish I have taken over the years now the french can enjoy some of jabs now. I went to france twice and made the mistake of going to Paris what a bunch of rude people
NewsMax.com is leading the Boycott France campaign because
American lives and security is at stake.
France has every right to disagree with America. But
France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility
toward America.
French President Chirac warned East European nations that
if they side with America, France will oppose their
membership in the European Union.
This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times
that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and
has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These
same missiles may soon be used against American soldiers.
[b]Just as France is exercising its right to disagree,
Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid
helping companies and countries that do no stand with America.

How did the French end up owning all of our businesses? And Scotlands? And Hawaii's? Those wily French have been buying businesses behind our backs....hmmm.

You will get my Rowenta iron when you pry it out of my cold, dead hand. Say what you want about French people, they know how to make irons. (Wrinkle-free is ze way to be!)
"Freedom fries" is the dumbest thing the U.S. Congress ever did. And that incorporates some doozies.
