Mr. Mickey's trip to Paris Fashion Week started with a bang. MM was lucky enough to fly Air France business class (bonjour Espace d'Affaires!!) thanks to his glut of frequent flyer miles, and the flight which left at 1 a.m. and arrived at 2 p.m. was a delight. And who should be sitting directly behind Mr Mickey in seat 2J? Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili. If any of you MMbloggers watch the news you'll know poor Mik has been in the news a lot thanks to the Russian invasion of his country. MS had been in New York for the meeting of the UN General Assembly which reminds MM -- it's great to have all those VIP politicos-of-all-nations, particularly the ones in native costume, passing through the Naked City, but honestly, do they have to block off sooooo many streets? I know George Bush is the president, but he destroyed our economy -- does he really deserve to get priority parking? Mr Mickey thinks NOT. Anyhoo poor President Saakashvili has been through the ringer thanks to Russia (and yes he was a bit too fresh for his own good) so MM wanted lean over the seat and say, "Who needs stinky old Abkhazia anyway?" Afterall NObody in Abkhazia wants to be part of Georgia, so MM says let em secede. That would set a nice precedent so that if by some hideous nightmarish miracle McCain/Palin win the election, Mr. Mickey can start a movement for New York state to secede. MM says if divorce is legal to end a marriage that's miserable, secession should be legal to divorce regions that don't love each other anymore. Whew -- how's this for a post people?
