My Dearest Friend,
The baroque customs of the French court are an endless source of discomfort for me. I am a simple man who longs to be in his own country, among his people. I fear the British will intercept my blogs, and so I keep them limited to superficial subjects such as this season of The Hills, and whether or not Whitney made the right decision in leaving her position at Teen Vogue. If it were safe, my darling, know that I would keep a password protected livejournal just for you, in which we might be able to share our deepest hopes and fears bound in the union of our marriage oath. But even this seems open to usurpation by the British crown, and so for now, I keep a livejournal in my head, and in my heart.

[Later, in 1995…] He [was] accused of making unwanted sexual advances to 17 female employees and colleagues, soliciting jobs from lobbyists for his former wife and altering his personal diaries to obstruct an ethics investigation.”
Oh, and here’s excerpts from that diary of his, if you feel so inclined. But really, I think the above photograph and this entry, from August 3rd, 1990, sums him up well enough:
“[One staff member] handles all the things I don’t like. All the social welfare stuff, the education, the handicapped, the blind, all those things that I have so little patience for and all those programs that I think probably are a waste of money….”](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2008-03/36638131.jpg)
