"Oui, on peut" - A Dispatch from the not real America of Lousiana


Apparently Rachel Maddow showed this last night. Me - I found it on the blog of our beloved, beautiful, witty, wise and amazing and great blogger from Lousiana, Grandmere Mimi.

I love it, I am very partial to zydeco music.

We all know that this is not the "real America, the pro-America part of America." After all - they are speaking (elitist bastards or should I say, élitiste salauds!) F-R-E-N-C-H.

Oui en peut, se, si puede, yes we can.

Stay focused my people, we can't count our chickens or really make our gumbo until November 5th.

Zydeco! Yeah, baby! I love it! I don't know much about it ... yet ... but oh, it's infectious.

Fran -- I love the combo of the "Obama and baby" photo with the MLK quote. Beautiful.

Have you seen my Post-Cynical Seer blog yet? You might enjoy it ... Link: http://postcynicalseer.blogspot.com/

So glad to have made your acquaintance, Fran ... Thanks for being one of those "left-wing inclusion mongers" ... :-)

How deightful! That's what REAL Americans need: positive campaign videos for a change. ;)

Or, as we say here in another part of un-American America, "Obamanos!"

this election can still be stolen because the Republicans are stealing votes as we speak (or blog.)

read my AHC post from today.

Où sont-ils les vrais américains ?

How many real Americans have spent $150,000 on clothes in the last two months?

Let us work hard now so we can party hearty on November 5 - gumbo for all clear across America! Hell, I'd even feed a Republican (after whupping they asses).

DCup said...

Awesome, Fran, message received, ma chere.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Zydeco makes time go slow for me. I pay attention in a way very disconnected from minutes and seconds.

Also, anyone who thinks an accordion can't be cool is just too ignorant to be educated, because a zydeco accordion player is the coolest cat around.
