Let 'em eat.....er...um...grapes?? EU heat wave is a bonanza for the grape crop and French Wineries are raking it in. Vineyards are hauling in their most promising crop in years. With weather more like California than France, the wine farmers prepare for the best harvest in more than a century. Meanwhile back on the farm, things are bad:

cows are producing less milk, Bresse chickens are not fattening as they should, and even the country's famously stuffed ducks are growing smaller livers.
And the New York Times, publishing under their fake International Tribune name, has a big article blaming the deaths of all people in the Chicago heat wave of 1995 on.............the government. Yes folks, now we are supposed to take care of everybody during a heat wave with a new government agency and several billions of dollars. Get ready. It will be the next Democratic "issue" when temps get over 90 somewhere. BTW I still think those French body counts are from Mars. Speaking as a registered old fart, let me just bet that the people who died during the heat wave were dying anyway and they just bought the farm a few months early.
