In an effort to add some international savoir-faire to our blog, I decided to post a recent article from a French news source. You can use it both to improve your foreign language skills and to gain some Continental perspective on current events.
The piece I have selected is from an online publication called “Pure People.” For those of you who don’t read French, I will try to translate as we go along. However, I must warn you that WordPress apparently metamorphized into a new species while I was trying to post this, so some of the prose may have been mangled during the transition. Read at your own risk.

Looking terribly laid-back and icky, David Caruso has prepared his son Marquee Anthony and his daughter Palm Tree to leave the house.

Helped by a nanny who does all the real work, the 54-year-old comedian cares for his two adorable kids, who are forced to pretend that they like spending time with their papa, pretending not to worry about the rending of their family by their creepy father, who destroyed their home with his weird sexual practices, his overweening ego, and his head filled with poop.
There, wasn’t that educational? I hope you have found amusant this tres gentil post about un dickhead formidable.
Having taken French in college, I can pretty much make out what the “Pure People” article is acutally saying, but I like your translation waayyy better!
I think you need to continue this practice on a regular basis, SZ. Whether the piece is in a foreign language or GOP language, translating it for us will do everyone a world of good.
