Go read this: Rambling Rosie Rambles Refulgently

It is insightful. It is creative. It is profound. It is ... refulgent. And damned entertaining, too. And also?

Because one of my flisties pointed out that there have been some bad reviews for The French Mistake out there, I'm going to post this as an actual entry rather than where I originally wrote it, which was in comments to my last entry.
