Any Day Now the French Will Call and Apologize.

I went to Sneider's today in search of expensive beer to soften the impact of yet another terribly depressing day at work. After determining which would be the cheapest expensive beer, I took two six packs out of the fridge and worked my way to the front of the store. On the way, I passed a pitiful store employee attempting to explain the finer points of Bordeaux to some middle-aged blonde douchebag in a white button-up. Just as I was squeezing past this douchebag (who would not move out of the way despite my "excuse me") he said the most priceless thing:

"Well, I still haven't given up my boycott of French wines."


I almost dropped my beer. Someone was still KEEPING THE FAITH ALIVE!!! It's 2007, you have to search under rocks to find someone who still thinks the war was a good idea, and SOME DOUCHEBAG IN DC IS STILL KEEPING THE FAITH ALIVE!!! God bless this town. God bless the people who live in this town.

Mind you,
this wine store is two blocks from the Capitol and Congressional office buildings. At his age and style of dress, he had to be either an upper level Congressional staff person, or a freak'in Congressman himself. Trust me, Frenchie is really feel'in the burn when Mr. DC serves Chianti instead of Cabernet at his society cocktail hour in Georgetown.

I wanted to guy up and give him a kiss, tell him he's adorable, and then spit in his face.
