    I dunno, I think we have a pretty good chance of leaving behind some significant damage before we go extinct! I guess I'm an exuberant pessimist. #obits

    He outlived both Derrida and Foucault. I imagine the three of them will find themselves in a small room together soon, discovering that hell is other French intellectuals. I kid because I love! RIP. #obits

    Sounds like a certain French structural anthropologist never perused these here comments, which Gawker LLC's lawyers tell me are "permanent." #obits

    Oh so now we're also for French in-dependance from the British. I'm sorry, but this sight gets more and more liberal by the day.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Dude, do you even know what Bastille Day is? The British had noting to do with it. I am glad to hear that your "sight" is getting more liberal (i..e, you are seeing more clearly), perhaps there is hope for you yet!

    @dontread: I was making one of those self deprecating jokes. Had I not had a typo/misspelling, I would have really opened fire on you. However, it seems that you waited just long enough to post your comment to prevent me from going back and editing my mistake. Well played.

    can't obama and sarkozy both be like, "have you SEEN our old ladies? hush up, we got no reason to be peeping ass unlike the rest of you" and just end the issue entirely? cos that's just inarguable, even for drudge.
