Funny how reading this gave me a swell of civic nationalism (I hope that’s the right term, but you know what I mean).

A childish act

This has been around for four years. For a while the company (Tom Bihn, a maker of travel bags) was selling T-shirts with the message on the tag printed large on the front, but they sold out of that item and for some reason are not making it any more. They are also a bit coy in stating that the “president” in the message was Bihn himself (yeah, right).

I didn’t get much past high school French (one semester in college), so I’m still baffled by the use of the subjunctive.

“Soit” is subjunctive because it follows an emotional verb phrase (“sommes desoles”) in the main clause of the sentence.
