|  || Saturday, April 21, 2007 || Red Roses and Blue SkiesToday I went to a Presidential rally. French elections coming up. Most excited. Cannot but muse on irony that I am more stirred up about a Presidential election that does not concern me than one of our own, but recall that our last Presidential election was anyway a walkover, so do not feel guilty. If you were wondering, it was a Socialist rally, for the Socialist candidate Ségolène Royal. Not the most inspiring speech I've ever heard, nor the most eloquent speaker, but in her defence she has wonderful hair.  Took many photos, but political inclination forbids me from posting them, so I refer you all to Shumin's blog.And this one here, is my candidate:  France needs change. France needs a leader with the strength of character, will and abrasiveness to achieve it, not a nice motherly figure who coos on about things being juste. Mothers are nice, but mothers belong at home. Justice is fine and dandy, but you cannot run a country on fairness alone. Justice can only supplement and does not a system make. And, to show I'm not misogynist, may I declare my love for Margaret Thatcher. Roses fade while blue skies are forever. Though she really does have wonderful hair. |
