davester- nice reference. I always thought it related to the side of the Seine that people were on (Rive Gauche, Rive Droit)

Actually, I think it refers to which side of the king you sat. Here's a quote from wikipedia:

"in the French Legislative Assembly of 1791, when the king was still the formal head of state, and the moderate royalist Feuillants sat on the right side of the chamber, while the radical Montagnards sat on the left.[1] This traditional seating arrangement continues to be observed by the Senate and National Assembly of the French Fifth Republic"

Left, Right, DemocRat, Rethuglican, I think we can all agree on one this point: "Eff ze French."
Merde.

Someone who can't decide if he's a Royals or Cardinals fan, he's having trouble leaving the Dodgers or Angels - he's not sure which - behind.:bat::gears:

I'm always reminded of the term 'klanbake' when I see the word Democrat.
