I do owe Charles for this one.
I already share the general blogosphere envy of his mastery of the art of writing a snappy blog headline, and I willingly, publicly revere his knowledge of American popular music of a certain era of great interest to me ('though his critical judgment re: The Beatles is a bit wobbly).
But for pointing me to this -- I shall offer only the sample of Silflay Hraka's bit on American involvement in World War I -- Charles, my friend, I simply am not worthy:
Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.
My god...and the title of the piece -- which found me slapping my thighs, standing up, and laughing out loud -- is even better.
