Plus ça change, indeed

Who the heck is sticking random articles into the expression, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"!? No one who knows any French, that's for sure -- which, according to this diatribe (see the comments section for the origins of the expression) -- would seem to include at least one popular commentator on things French, along with the editors of the New York Times.

The pseudo scholars or perhaps I should say the pseudo literati, not I.

And obviously someone with no feel for French.
