Dean is pleased to announce that he has become a French citizen! Here's a little FAQ (FAQ, of course, stands for French American Questions):

Is Dean *really* French?
Mais bien sûr, c'est pas une blague.

Is Dean still a U.S. Citizen?
Yes, he has dual citizenship.

What's the exact date of Dean's French citizenship?
Oddly enough, it is awarded retroactively back to the moment he applied. So we believe Dean has now been French for a full year, since January 8, 2009.

Is Dean going to start eating snails?
What makes you think he ever stopped?

Will there be a party?
Mais oui! Haven't worked out the details yet.
