I read today that the French population is vastly undecided about their next President, well actually about 42% according to a poll taken by Le Parisienn.

Anything election related is naturally a hot button issue for most Americans I presume, but again … I’m presuming.

And so I have to admit, I’m envious that a female candidate really even qualifies to be one of two dueling final contenders.

Is it really that simple? Is it because France is so progressive that they get to have a wildly liberal female candidate, one that apparently has a brother linked to Green Peace violent activity, and a “private life partner” rather than a husband (she’s not even gay!) . And if that weren’t enough, the woman has a far-right cousin who’s also in politics.

Man, I wonder what her holiday family gatherings are like… how do you say passive aggressive in French? Oh right … agressif passif.

You gotta ask yourself though, how would the US differ with a female president? And I’m not going to even mention the H name.

I’m sorry, I’m just imagining Marie-Ségolène Royal getting hit on by G.Dubyah over a croissant in the oval office.

“heh heh… that’s pronounced crescent here! heh heh …get it, crescent? I’m gonna get me a jelly doughnut…”

For respect’s sake, let’s all say aurevoir to old Jacques … and ponder what was going on through his mind precisely right when this photo was being taken.
