Sarkozy has six brains

Was taken aback by a quote from Carla Bruni's memoirs revealing how she fell in love with Sarkozy. She is reported as saying that it wasn't just his physique that attracted her - and here I am guessing she perhaps has a preference for gnome sized men or is being kind by patronising him - but she said she also fell in love with his 'five or six brains'. It makes one shudder to think what other extra parts the man might have. It could be an explanation, however, for the odd shape of his head.

Clinton is out of the running squashing America's chances of having their first woman president. It reminds one of how close France came just over a year ago to heralding Segolene Royale as a president - but alas the man with the five brains got in. So far, from what I glean from the french, not many are impressed with his performance as presideent and even though his wife is very pretty people are largely appalled by their head of state's elevation to a celebrity.

It remains very humid and wet - we've had more rainfall this afternoon but thankfully no more thunderstorms as they tend to be fierce here. Apparently the french have managed to fine e-bay for the sales of counterfeit Hermes handbags. Quite right too.
