Allons!

It’s la fête nationale in France, so vive la révolution!

Sadly, France (along with most of Europe, and the UK) is experiencing a massive heat wave, and Macron is himself in some bouillabaisse chaude with the recent Uber Leaks revelations about how he shilled for the company when it unsuccessfully tried to storm the Bastille. But still—a revolution’s a revolution.

I’ll be having my customary slurp of champagne to celebrate. Maybe salade niçoise, since it is also stinking hot here in the District They Call Columbia. And I’ll leave you with my traditional mashup of “Die Wacht am Rhein” and “La Marseillaise” from Casablanca.
