elections

sarko and ségo posters are all over the city. royale's posters are mostly just a picture of her with the words "Presidentielle 2007;" sarkozy's generally say "Ensemble, tout devient possible" ("Together, everything becomes possible"). i'm not a huge sarko fan, and i found this altered poster online:



"TOGETHER
Without the poor, the foreigners, the RMI [a social program which gives money to the unemployed who are under 25], the Left, the extreme Left, the communists, the CDI [contrat à durée indéterminée, a open work contract for artisans, without a time limit to complete the work], the homosexuals, the intermittents [people who work in entertainment or art "in intermittence," alternate periods of work and unemployment, usually with a CDI], those who are HIV-positive, the handicapped, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Culture, independent journalists, the blacks, the arabs, the Noahs, the Thurams [two football players who are vocally opposed to Sarkozy], and the guy who screwed my wife [Sarkozy's wife apparently left him/had an affair before the elections and he won't talk about their relationship]...
EVERYTHING BECOMES POSSIBLE."

i showed this to my french friend marcello and he couldn't stop laughing.

also, sarkozy doesn't drink, at all, which for me is a reason in itself to be suspicious. seriously, a french person who won't have a glass of wine with dinner? what's up with that?
