Andrew Northrup links to Ben MacIntyre and Justin Vaisse who both have good points to make about francophobia. I just caught the tail end of the eternally annoying Andy Rooney saying the French didn't have the right to oppose an American war. Nonsense.

Andrew also calls our attention to the fact

that our most precious national resource, our celebrities, are in crisis....It seems clear to me that liberals bear the primary responsibility for this, as their post-modern "anything goes" sophistry and moral equivalence leaves another once-sturdy American institution shattered and degraded.

Ah, weep for us!
