The Castafiore on Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy wants Hilary Clinton's New York Senate seat.

I, La Belle et Bonne Bianca Castafiore, want the mezzo soprano role of Carmen, despite the general contention that I am not -- {sniff} -- sultry enough.

"Tant pis, tant pis," murmure-t-on.

Kennedy told a local newsman over the weekend that she wants "to do her part" in the general goodwill inspired by Obama's election. "We all need to pitch-in" -- that kind of thing.


Unheard of!








She is reported to be an on-again, off-again voter and is not reknowned for her efforts within the Democratic party.

(Whatever that means... What does that mean? Mais, qu'est-ce que ça veut dire?)

Roland Barthes, he is not so much known aux E-U -- if you ask, no one (personne! personne!) has read Mythologies. Il en serait content, je crois. No one needs to *read* it. Ah! je ris de me voir si belle dans ce miroir...
En fait, je rigole!

Canonical images only go so far.
But I, La Belle et Bonne Bianca Castafiore, will not be the fool to underestimate them.
Death of the Author, indeed!
(Oh, puh-leeze, mes amis... a joke. Not a great or grand joke, and perhaps overdone, but -- still, a joke!)
