Just found this on Think Progress:
O’Reilly lifts boycott of France
“In March 2003, Bill O’Reilly called on all Americans to boycott the use of French products because of France’s disagreement with the United States decision to invade Iraq… Through the years O’Reilly has claimed his boycott of France has cost the country “billions of dollars” (O’Reilly himself quoted that figure in the non-existent “Paris Business Review“).” But now that France has elected conservative Nicolas Sarkozy, the French can rest easy. O’Reilly said yesterday, “The Factor is lifting the boycott of France. However, ‘Boycott France’ bumper stickers do remain available on BillOReilly.com for nostalgia purposes, and you never know… we may have to re-impose it."
I'm so glad I'm going to an O'Reilly-approved country...

About Me
- Jen
- Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
- There is nothing fascinating about me. I only hope to do some fascinating things in my lifetime. A part of this fascinating idea was going to France with 20-some other students for an Oklahoma State University Study Abroad Program from May 24 - June 19, 2007. So, welcome to my fascinating French blog.

I see that The Paris Business Review has yet to respond. Typical.
I am NOT a poor blog-mistress. Take it back, Matt!
Also, I suppose the Parisians over at the Business Review are on a leisurely lunch, and never noticed O'Reilly's anger with them ... oh well!
Hay Jen, Thanks for the comment on my latest posts, I had to delet it becouse not many people know I was in to begin with. also i don't think I'll be going any more, but I don't know things may change. I hope you still call the cat Salah, I'll be honored.
