Chers amis,
Bonjour. Today I speak to you from beyond the grave.
Haunted by a Frenchman? What a rich, bold, vanilla scented pleasure for you. As you know, we Frenchmen love a good existential question, and not even the sweet embrace of la morte could keep this Gaul from, like so many of his national brethren before him, telling you exactly what he thinks no matter how much you don't want to hear it.
As you know, I presented my original city of Washington in the District of Columbia to George Washington on August 19th, 1791. 218 years, 42 Presidents (over 2% of whom were NOT wealthy white christian males!) and one crack smoking mayor later, I have decided to readdress my master work.
On this blog, I intend to undertake a year long study of the district's culture, physical structure and social behavior to determine the northeast corridor's most vexing question: IS WASHINGTON DC COOL?
My intern, Benjamin Grinspan (wooo another unpaid internship notch on his bed post of shame) will be assisting me in worldly, vivant matters. Oui, this project may kill me, but hey, I'm already dead, and if the unbelievably long acting career of Gerard Depardieu proves anything: the French never know when to quit.
Vive le blog!
oh, Charles L' Enfant I am so excited to hear your musings on our nations capital. What astute adn witty observations will you come up with next?
