It's a reference to the French news headline on 12 September four years ago, and also a reference to events in London today.

*looks at manuscript*
Something happened in London...?
*scurries off to CNN & BBC*
Perhaps I should pay some attention to what is happening outside of my skull.

I find the short time period between those two posts slightly amusing. I can imagine the news is crawling all over the story like worms in manure.

you mean the french actually said "Today we are all american," with a straight face?

It's rather difficult to tell, in newsprint, if somebody is smirking. However, I suspect that the worldwide concern and sympathy was indeed heartfelt.

Are you sure it was "Aujourd'hui nous sommes tous américains"
and not, "Aujourd'hui nous crachons sur des Américains"
or even "Aujourd'hui nous passons le gaz dans votre direction générale"

"Today we spit on americans." and "Today we pass gas in your general direction."
