Bush is Angry!
I'm watching Bush live on CNN as he's giving a speech on Iraq...
Is it me or he really sounds angry? He sounds like he's mad at the audience, doesn't he? I feel like I'm being yelled at. Very strange. How do you explain this... Too much stress? The job-approval rate? The leak? Name it...
Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.
