I came here to the South of France to “get away from it all” and now the place is swarming with world leaders. Obama, the Chinese dude, the European leaders….they’re all meeting 15 miles from here in Cannes for the G20 summit. A black helicopter just flew over my quaint little village. Blech!

I had actually considered a daytrip to Cannes this week, before I knew what was happening. I have decided against it because a] it’s raining this week; and b] I don’t want to get teargassed.

BTW, for any visiting journalists who might be reading this, I have created a list of G20-related headlines that you can feel free to just copy and paste directly into your articles. No need to credit me:

Greece Has Ruined Everything — Die, Greece — Get the Hell out of the Eurozone, Greece — Get the F–k out of Europe, Greece — Cradle of Western Civilization, My Ass!

   Feminist writer…that’s me! Thanks. I am going to update my blogroll v. soon. I’ve been meaning to do it.

   France is lovely, but if it makes you feel better, the past few days (and for the foreseeable future) it’s dark and rainy all the damn time.
