Tres Bien!

Saw this on the Orcinus blog: Tom Bihn, a manufacturer of luggage and bags, has quietly slipped this onto their manufacturing label:

Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui.

Which translates as "We're sorry our President is an idiot. We didn't vote for him."

The Bihn people, mindful of right-wing terrorism, claim that it's a jab at the company's president, and not...well....y'know. But all the same, it's a riot. They're so pleased by the attention that they've made up T-shirts bearing the slogan. In case, for instance, anyone you know has a birthday coming up.

Hey Mike,
Stumbled upon your website when I was googling the words to a TS Eliot poem. Cool site, I can certainly emphathize with your politics. I just got back from two weeks in Mexico where, as a Canadian, I ran into lots of Americans who were just not very happy about Dubya. There's only one way to get rid of him, so get cracking.

Cheers from Vancouver
