Boycotting France costs state about $4 million in gains
Montana's decision to sell some of its stock in French companies after France opposed the Bushies' Iraq invasion didn't pay off.

Since a March 13 decision by the state's Board of Investments to sell $15 million in stock of French-owned companies, some of the stocks have almost doubled in value. The total investment would be worth about $4 million more now than what it was sold for.

"Every time you picked up a newspaper there was calls for (French) boycotts and a lot of French-bashing," said Jay Klawon, the idiotic, flag-waving xenophobic fretard stockbroker and Board of Investments member who proposed the idea of divesting the stocks.

He also said he was frustrated with the French for opposing the US's Operation Poll Numbers 'n' Iraqi Oil.

"My initial reaction was anger. I couldn't figure out a rational reason why France was so adamant in keeping Saddam Hussein in power," he said. "Boy, do I feel like a complete and utter douchebag now!"
