Corrections on my story about France:

From mon amie Élise, native of Magdalen Island, the "eepie" outpost of Québécois separatism:
"I cannot prevent myself from correcting the mistake. After you can make fun of my 'nationalism,' I assume. Cirque du soleil is QUÉBÉCOIS, not French."

And from Peter, my former boss at Stratfor, who knows more about everything than Ken from Jeopardy!:
"Two small items: Cirque is Canadian, and it is the Fifth Republic, not Third"

Facts, shmacts. I was just trying to show off what I look like in a Speedo.
