Nice parallel thinking, Vichy on the Potomac... Vichy was a creation of
losers... la réponse aigrie des perdants... (be the first one on your
block to denounce your jewish neighbour...)

Objet : [OM] Re: OT: French Empires
I was more worried about the coming German jokes a short while ago...
The truth is that we shaped England and the English have been mad at us
ever since. Ditto with America. It's oedipal, I guess? (Kss, kss...)
OTOH, I don't mind any furriners who actually understand our language
and customs knocking us. Or veterans of the Western Front. Or former
colonial victims. They've earned the right. The only ones who annoy me
are those who are trying to reinvent Vichy on the Potomac without proper
attribution. It's just a knockoff. ð8^( - Phil
