Victor Hugo is the guy Hugo Chavez was named after. How appropriate.

How many are named after Rimbaud or Verlaine? None to my knowledge. And that's probably a good thing, too.

Oh, I was hoping it was NYPD spying on Pumpkin-Head. But I guess they didn't really have to spy - he happily revealed his lunacy to the world.

France is full of "snithces" - my French wifes grandfather was taken by the Germans to labor on the farms in 1940, they would basically allow you to escape after harvest and come looking for you in the spring. He was always turned in by neighbors.

I think Voltaire spent quite a few years in a French prison.

You mean nineteenth century French authors were decadent moral degenerates? Wow, who would have thunk it?
