Vive la France

It's no time for Drama class, Antoinette!

Truth is stranger than fiction they say. Or put another way, "you can't make this merde up!" If you've been following world politics the last year or so, you probably recognize that we are in a state of flux. Not the scary kind the world faced in the inter war years of the last century (unless you're one of those hysterical types who need a slogan for your meme creating app). Rather the kind you get when art imitates life, The Onion becomes real news, and to believe in the scientific method makes you a science denier. Ooh la la! That's right...France woke up this morning realizing they just elected a Lifetime Channel movie to the presidency. If it was a headline in The Onion it would read..."15 year old bags teacher then the presidency...he'll address the country after recess." Obviously, his "sword" was mightier than Le Pen 😉. I don't want to speculate but I think global warming could be reduced by putting some saltpeter in the school lunches in France...disant simplement! But this is the Terre d'amour... where you can marry your  much older drama teacher and be credited for your "entrepreneurial spirit". I raise my champagne glass in a toast to the success of France and the couple, I just hope they remember that Oedipus Rex was a tragedy not a "complex" comedy. But whether you won or raised the white flag of surrender... in France you boozed. So this morning, after the typical oh mon dieu's what did I do last night, you might be wondering what to do about your tete'ache. Well let's have a tête-à-tête and read up on what the latest science suggests. World famous scientific journal, The Independent, reports that after millions of dollars spent on research, we can safely say that the hair of the dog formula for hangovers works. Two glasses of [wine], is better than aspirin for pain relief. We know this because "researchers" from the UNIVERSITY OF GREENWICH say so after 18 weekends, um, I mean studies. In the "mean -time" (see what I did there, 😉🥂), noted science denier, Christian (no kidding that's his real name) actually agrees saying, "I think the scientists should spend less time marching and more time drinking…you can quote me on that!" Research head, Dr Thompson (from the philosophy department) says that [wine] is as good as opioids "for the pain homme!" It's a brave new world out there when we can combine a Christian, a hippie from the 1960s and university students... throw them in a red solo cup, flip it... and call it science! And since we are talking about college here's a lesson, Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy wine, you do the math. And speaking of love for your mother, Sunday is mother's day (not to be confused with cinq à sept President Macron, 😉) treat her special. Life gets busy on the Champs-Élysées. Bring plenty of wine and remember what a drag it is getting old. Kids are different today, I hear ev'ry mother say, Mother needs something today to calm her down...She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper, and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day!

Salut!
