Citoyenne la traductrice jacobine

So, I watched the History Channel's documentary on the French Revolution again. Because I'm clearly a masochist. 

The following could speak for itself as to what was wrong with it: the only French-speaking historian on it is an Antoinette specialist!

In other news (just as depressing), Paris seems to have gone to Sarkozy. Which means we're likely screwed. (I say we of course because if France goes right, there's no hope whatsoever for anywhere else--though of course, personally speaking, I want more than anything that things should go well in France for its own sake.)
