Spielberg Honored
French President Jacques Chirac named Steven Spielberg a Knight in the French Legion of Honor last night, but the ceremony was not without controversy. While Chirac introduced Spielberg as the "genius who directed 'E.T.,' and 'Saving Private Ryan,' he still insisted on also describing him as "the Jew from America responsible for '1941,' and 'Jurassic Park 2.'

Yeah, pretty strange behavior for staunchly Christian and anti-American France. That's another thing this country can do without.
