An American Student Hides Support for Bush
An American Werewolf Republican in Paris
American University of Paris student Jennifer Locke is in a very underrepresented minority in Paris. She describes the experience she had while wearing a pin a friend had brought her that read "Proud to be a Republican":
"A waiter," she wrote, "looked as if he was going to spit in my pizza. A man in the dining hall asked me what the pin said, twice, and then walked away. I felt like dirt. I felt worse than dirt."
While I don't quite understand why any self-respecting Republican would want to go to school in France in the first place, I sympathize with Ms. Locke. I have trouble keeping my cool around the rabid Bush-haters around here, and they're nowhere near as numerous as the article makes them sound in France.
