  • The emigrant's destiny: The foreign country has not become home, but home has become foreign.

    Emigranten-Schicksal: Die Fremde ist nicht Heimat geworden. Aber die Heimat Fremde.

    Between 2007 and 2009, I lived in Los Angeles after living in Paris for many years. My Paris blog (before and after my Los Angeles sojourn) is Rue Rude.

    You know you've been living in L.A. too long when you start to complain about the weather.

    It's one thing that I miss about So. Cal... but fortunately this summer here in the Paris area isn't as bad as last summer... One thing I don't miss about L.A., the "SMOG." Have a nice summer!!!

    Today's quotation

    • They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God given rights then what’s left? The French Revolution. What’s left is a government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights. What’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine.

      --Rick Santorum, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination who just won three primaries, on Wednesday

    Le petit aperçu d'Ailleurs

    • Huge strikes underway in Greece as protestors complain about government austerity measures, which are required immediately in order for the Greek government to be able to borrow money from other countries to pay its bills and not go bankrupt in weeks.
