Summertime in Herbignac! The weather is a balmy 70 degrees today, with blue skies all around, on this very pleasant July 21st.I get the Digg headline feed on my iGoogle homepage, so I keep up to date on the various bits of weird news that float through there, and today a headline grabbed my attention. "France will never forget" is a pretty neat tribute event for the Omaha Beach landing, and worth mentioning for the exact reason given by the Digg submitter - That any time one idiot Frenchman breaks a McDonald's sign, it hits the news as "anti-American sentiment in France", yet when 2,500 French people get together for a huge and meaningful tribute, it is totally ignored by the mainstream media. Even the Digg article comments make interesting and insightful reading, for once!
