A French-American perspective on politics, culture, current events, religion, languages, and education

Jon Stewart has a hilarious take on how, by putting a question mark at the end of a sentence, the news organization can say just about anything, especially anything they would not dare say otherwise. He has chosen some pretty good exampless - and not just from FoxNews, but also from CNN. Not only is it funny, it is also very true...
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.
