Croquembouche vs. the terrorists

By Terry Moseley

November 16, 2015

British comic and host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” John Oliver’s furious diatribe against those responsible for the terror attacks in Paris on November 13th was a stream of profanity, angst, and humor explaining as to why France will endure.

“If you’re in a war of culture and lifestyle with France, good fucking luck. Because, go ahead, bring your bankrupt ideology. They’ll bring Jean-Paul Sartre, Edith Piaf, fine wine, Gauloises cigarettes, Camus, Camembert, madeleines, macarons, Marcel Proust, and the fucking croquembouche… a French freedom tower.”

Vive la France and the croquembouche.
