The French word for "curry" is..."curry"
Apr. 24th, 2007 08:18 pmI'm actually sort of following the presidential race in France right now and, I have to say, if we followed their courteous tack regarding the handling of elections? Nobody would be sitting in the White House. It'd be a permanent diorama; kind of like Lou Grant's office.
It's interesting that, in a time of pre-election political ennui in America, when party lines are more hazy than ever, France seems eager to split things right down the middle. Stretch-face Sarkozy versus Natalie-Portman's-ugly-cousin Royal, duking it out -- poing to taloche -- with Bayrou standing smugly in between (duh, he's a centrist). Even though he was ousted from the first round of elections, Bayrou apparently has, like, a nuthold on the political climate in France (with something like seven million votes in his favour) and now Sarkozy and Royal have to ingratiate themselves to that remaining contingent before the final round of elections on May 6.
I suggest cake. Lots and lots of cake.
Hillary? Are you listening? Cake. Caaaaa-aaaaake.
I ordered my t-shirt today and picked up my book when it came in to Barnes & Noble. 'Think I'm going to read until House limps along.
