That's a good tip, and confirms what I just wrote about the local response to tourists invading a small town. I'm not a Picasso-lover, but if you compare his art with the local art of the Tlingit and Haida natives in Juneau, the power in their grotesque form is evident. I'm unconvinced but willing to listen about why I should see Paris before I die. I plan to go see the British Isles, particularly in order to see the field at Thurleigh from where my father-in-law flew his B-17.

For those who still have a vestigial sense of humor about this stuff, I recommend the Gerard Baker columns I dug up on tekboy's recommendation, #reply-18580397 and #reply-18577778 , and this NYT article from last week, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION: A Lexicon of Francophobia, From Emerson to Fox TV nytimes.com . Complaining about the French and pretending the insultology doesn't cut both ways is, well , pretty typical for the "objective" set around here. Maybe it's all because of Howell Raines and the "liberal media", or something.
