Fun fact: since she didn’t run away to England like deGaulle she was kind of backed into a corner about that like most Parisian businesspeople.

It really has been and it sucks. Dismiss, dismiss, dismiss!!

Noooooo! I was wondering why you disappeared. As a long time lurker (who has just started commenting) I really enjoy hearing your perspective and speaking with you.

Gawker refugees? I always found that site attracted a lot of outspoken snarky assholes, so I read the articles and generally avoided leaving comments.
