Ségo, her best poster

I didn't comment on Ségo's latest poster. As everybody already did before me, I thought it would be kind of boring. And I was kind of ashamed because I didn't understand. I mean... The picture in black and white is ugly, depressing and against the image of modernity she attempts to acquire, but nevermind. The top tagline reading "the change"? It's not very explicit, but nevermind. However, "France for President"??? Worst. Tagline. Ever.

But that's it, I understood the poster! Actually, you should read:

"Give it up already, vote for Bayrou!".

At least, this is what some socialists such as Rocard or Kouchner seem to say.

He was nearly done

Sarko s'est rendu en banlieue. Il était temps! Il est arrivé en retard et a eu une discussion tendue avec les habitants et a dû s'expliquer sur certaines expressions comme "Kärcher" ou "racaille".

Et puis Sarko est allé sur la tombe du Général de Gaulle. Ce qu'on ne vous dit pas, c'est qu'il est en train de penser: "MERCI! MERCI SEIGNEUR DE M'AVOIR PERMIS DE REVENIR EN VIE!".

Tombé pour la France:

Wow. I think that suits him very well.

The Economist, financial magazine, comes out as pro-Sarkozy and claims he is "France's chance". Represented as Napoléon, one of France's most glorious leaders, you nearly feel like voting for him. But actually, no.

Why I vote François Bayrou

• 06 April 2007 at 13:09
• Tombé pour la France, Politik Pop

I will vote against a Nicolas Sarkozy who wants to be the president of all the French but who talks "scum" (French riots of november 2005) and sheep slaughter in bathtubs ("J'ai une question à vous poser", TF1) and finally decided to ignore the suburbs and AIDS in his campaign, who prefers repression to prevention, who created laws of inept concept such as the one against "passive soliciting", who dealt with my arch-enemy Christine Boutin and who will lead France towards ultra-liberalism, which is not the best solution to the French.

I will vote against a Ségolène Royal who finally doesn't represent any political ideology, whose empty speeches echo empty punchlines ("Fair order", "France for President"), who contradicts herself everyday, who acts against feminism by using her sex as an electoral argument, who disappoints those who hope in her (9th assembly) up to socialist militants (Eric Besson), who is pandering to public opinion about the homosexual matter and whose program can be summed up as exploding the country's debt with the tagline "more money for everyone, you too, find the measures that will suit you in my catalogue of 100 propositions" unless she makes promises she will not respect.

As a consequence, I will vote for the last republican, who is most of all a vote against "Sarkolène", another slap in the face of a meaningless socialist party, and a "fuck you" to extremisms. However, I share some convictions with him such as the government of national union that would disturb the left/right breakup that nowadays lost its meaning, his will to solve the problem of the suburbs that is one the top priorities of the next President, and, at last, Europe, which is the future of France.

By the way...

The inFLATable catastrophe

• 04 April 2007 at 14:00
• Diary

The flat is not going any better. The water in the bathroom was dripping, I mean, flooding in ours. Ada and I consulted a few organisms to help us, who told us to send a letter and wait for seven days. But since then, water got into the elecric circuits and the fuse of the bathroom that was, oddly enough, also for the lights in the other rooms, just blew! We had to contact again organisms, and stuff. It doesn't go any better and we fear for the worst. Our goal now id to break the contract.

Last minute news: the poster on the building has been taken out during the night, between 1.30 and 6.45 am! Has the landlord been forced to take it out? We don't know!

Very last minute: things get bigger. The London Fire Brigade wants to shut the building because of fire hazard!

One month without ciggy!

Great news: I challenged myself, with Ada, not to smoke for one month. Well, of course, we could still drink wine. Anyway, I succeeded.

Not smoking for one month was easier than expected. At the beginning, when I drank my glass of wine, I would miss it, but then, I didn't mind anymore. The most annoying moments were those when I was watching a movie with a character smoking, moments in pubs or clubs with smokers and the parties between mates. The good thing is that, as I don't have any money, I went out, like, twice this month, so it was much easier! Anyway, it will be forbidden to smoke in public places in july here, so let's make the most of it!
