Second quote of the day

French politicans are talking a lot these days. Anyway, these words, from Green MP and former presidential candidate Noël Mamère, go straight to the point and regard another former presidential candidate, Ségolène Royal, who is from the Socialist Party, a traditional ally for the Greens:

Ségolène Royal, we don't want her!

Fuck, I really missed ségobashing...

Quote of the day

At least, Martine Aubry, leader of the shattered Socialist Party in France, a has humour:

I don't shave the morning.

She was referring to a famous quote of incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy who said, while he was Interior Minister:

I think about the presidential election... and not only when I'm shaving.
(Via Buzzle.)

If you don't like your life...

In the tube station where I used to go to work (we've just moved, we're in Shoreditch now, wow!!), the staff writes every day a quote. The kind of quote you don't feel like reading in the morning before going to work, like:

If you don't like your life, you can change it.

Yes, and the first thing I'm going to change, is to make you shut up!

Quote of the day

Ecology is not only about promoting local products, small cars or the chabichou (name of a local cheese).

Jean-Vincent Placé, deputy national secretary of the Greens, reacting to socialist ex-presidential candidate Ségolène Royal's words against the carbon tax.

Quote of the day

There are many French people, including people with long-term diseases, who need to work in order to get better.

Quote by Frédéric Lefebvre, spokesman for President Sarkozy's UMP party, who wants to give "the right" to work to people on sick leave.

Quote of the day

Read on l'Emmerdeuse's new blog, Les Innommables, this quote of Raymond Devos:

Generally speaking, those who make generalities are idiots.

Quote of the day

We Twitter to reassure ourselves that we are alive.

An interesting article about Twitter on Gawker.

Quote of the day

Only gays hang out with Amanda Lepore at AIDS benefits!

Gawker struck again.

Angels in America Edition

Jeffrey Wright in "Angels In America"

"Real love isn't ambivalent." I'd swear that's a line from my favorite best-selling paperback novel, In Love with the Night Mysterious, except I don't think you've ever read it. Well, you ought to, instead of spending the rest of your life, trying to get through Democracy in America. It's about this white woman whose daddy owns a plantation in the Deep South, in the years before the Civil War. And her name is Margaret, and she's in love with her daddy's number-one slave, and his name is Thaddeus. And she's married, but her white slave-owner husband has AIDS: Antebellum Insufficiently-Developed Sex-organs. And so, there's a lot of hot stuff going down, when Margaret and Thaddeus can catch a spare torrid ten under the cotton-picking moon. And then of course the Yankees come, and they set the slaves free. And the slaves string up old daddy and so on, historical fiction. Somewhere in there I recall, Margaret and Thaddeus find the time to discuss the nature of love. Her face is reflecting the flames of the burning plantation, you know, the way white people do (he mimes the face), and his black face is dark, in the night (he mimes the face again), and she says to him (he takes an acute voice): "Thaddeus, real love isn't ever ambivalent."

My mother is a feminist

My mother, in the car, talks about nowadays women and mentions the Sexual Revolution:

We, women, fought to have a job, a husband, and lovers!

No, my mother does not cheat on my father. I think she was talking about lovers as boyfriends, out of wedlock. (But when her first marriage went wrong... Hee! I love my mum!)
