"do Uncle" why you cough?


He has died for ten years and the celebrations of its person go from good train in this beginning January 2006…while sailing on google news, found this bond where people tell what Mitterrand for them represents.... Having been born in 1986, Mitterrand ever was an outstanding character in my life (no matter what I remember a little bébête show  J ). But a posteriori Mitterrand is for me in bulk : abolition of the death penalty, Badinter, Rocard, a double life, a cancer which prevented from controlling sometimes (the whole hidden with French in spite of its promises), of the chicaneries, the odd suicides, Helmut Kohl, Vichy, Epinay, listenings etc.… Short is a very contrasted character and what surprises me in the reactions on the site of TF1 is that many people remember 1981 before very… Quand one makes Histoire, it is always necessary to try to put itself in the context of time that one studies and then I want to believe well that this event published exceptional, but all the same 14 years quid following ? is as if peoplestopped with the revolution of 17 by occulting the 70 other years of the USSR.

While looking at pragmatically, Mitterrand, are all the same the president of 2 cohabitations what undoubtedly translates a rather major failure of its policy : raise unemployment, massive skid of the project of suburbs etc…Contrebalancer by large reforms like abolition of the death penalty, the reform of the retirements, the free radios… one arrives at an honest assessment but without more especially for a president of the PS, a kind of conservatism of leftreleases some for me. Personally for this reason, the mandate of Giscard appears more modern to me as well on the person as on certain reforms (lowering of the majority, law Weill…).

A survey is appeared placing it at the head of the largest presidents of Vième republic, between us the opposite would have been humiliating, the only president of left face to face to 4 presidents of right-hand side without being a large statistician, if one considers that today there is a proportion 50/50 between the sympathizers of left and those of right-hand side, the chances so that Mitterrand gains the strongest share of the votes are rather numerous…

 In this turbid period for the French left, the ceremonies for the death of the only elected official of the PS are rather pathetic I find ; When the leaders of the pink see a politician of talent, right, reformer… in a word a great man State, me while looking in the rear view mirror, I see a man with haughty air, with the mielleux tone and which symbolizes hope disappointed in France of left which advances


European construction and Federalism
year 2005 unfortunately marked a stop in the process of European construction : two countries rejected the constitutional treaty (for which had to vote Oui although any did not go in the direction of my thought) because of rather pathetic reasons. One can wonder whereas to make to reform EU ? Apparently, the treaty died in its form current (separately if holding them of Not changes opinion and realize that it badly included/understood the text or that the situation changed…), it is thus necessary is to agree to continue in this system which is seized up so easily, is to organize a top of reform which passes to the top citizens in the countries where is possible, that is to say to try to find a compromise around a new constitution with 25 and soon 27 and more. The compromise in the French language is like opulence in the studied language, that does not exist !

(While passing followed L topicality’well but I did not see a great social movement in Europe for a " less liberal" treaty : Germany and Poland in particular passed on the right after their legislative.)

    And yet a reform is necessary when one sees that it is necessary more than 6 months to find an agreement with the forceps on the budget with with the key hardly more than 1% of the GDP.

    My ideal and I located that it is that little to divide by Europeans, is the federalism. A parliamentary State federal with a defense, a politics foreign, monetary and economic common. A clean and important budget based on a social and ecological objective. A share of the national structures reduced to the culture and local safety, it would then have there more possibilities national oppositions face to face in the majority of the European population : I think that is that the democracy.

 That does not want to say the end of the national identities since the culture and education would be still dedicated to the national parliaments, that wants right statement acceptance of this qu is realities for me, the interests of the European states are overall the same ones, one thus changes scale and henceforth, the life of the citizens is not done any more on the level of State, but of our very small continent to already see a part of the world.

Well on assertion a capacity power station takes time and must be accepted and admitted by the population under sorrow to create revolts (cf the situation in Africa) but is for me objective towards which Europe must tend to become EU : Utopia Européenne, which, I fear it, will never exist.

With the fact I wish you with all a Happy New Year...:)

Sunday, I met a goddess...
Sunday proceeded the jubilee to celebrate the 50 years of the DS. Procession with the foot of triumphal arch and exposure to the program. Having an immoderate taste for the cars, I said myself, is what still this meeting of beaufs nostalgic. I m’imagined of the old men croûtons ravelling with the portrait of Gaulle, or already old fan of tuning will quadra. And well finally, the images that could see with the tele one, shown mount of people certainly impassioned, but especially apparently very happy of their passion, I then said myself, me I make well Histoire, handball and badminton, that is this which is most useful, or the least ridiculous ? Because finally as much I hate beaufs pathetic (kind the famous tourists of St tropez which makes hunting for the " star ") parce that they seem unhappy me, that it defend institutions morally condemnable (kind the bullfighting) or that they want to affirm their personality in stereotypes (fan of foot which passes its life to the bar by leaving his wife and her children alone to the house for the drudgeries), as much people which  seems happy to do something without that influencing their front everyday life, I find that well…

Failed was my optimistic note of the month J    

"One touches the bottom!" "It is not serious, one will dig!!!"
This evening while returning of the FAC, lights the tele one and I fall on a super emission from France 2 " on the sharp one…in immersion ", one is already towards the end of the report devoted to St Tropez. At the time when I fall above, one sees mother and his daughters who come from North and who trott themselves the evening on the port and in different "strategic " places to meet " stars ".

 Then I plant you the decoration, the mother peroxide blond equipped like a bimbo with 22ans then that it have some surely more than 40, am armed a camera and harangue his/her daughters " looks at well in the cars …and does not forget the terraces because times one pass to with dimensions without seeing them !!!... Look on the ground of ball of the times there are some who play !!! …. different day one saw Orlando the brother of Dalida on the port !!! "Approximately I would say prototype of the woman who seems to live that by" procuration "as said Goldmann… It is very disappointed because this evening there neither it nor his/her daughters did not see trop …stars hard like evening…

 In parallel, one follows person in charge one limps which must accomodate the evening even Puff Daddy approximately (I do not know too much how one must’L call now then I keep’L old  name J), limps it is opened with the ptit bourge of the jet set, Bimbos (I do not prejudge theirs IQ but it seems obvious that if one lets them return is especially parce that one of the letters of this abbreviation were noticed by the owner…) and to the millionaire Russian…

  Arrive our family of the North which wishes to return in cave of the nights tropézienne, and there direct the person in charge known as " it a vestimentary effort"… the mother should be made insists etc…and one of the guy of limps request which is the age of youngest girls, she is 12 years old (kind you return with your daughter 12 year old or kind you ace leaves outside while you go in limps …pff there  are people has who it misses a box…).

 Finally PDD arrives and returns …super the girls of North are content, little after the mother arrives has to negotiate " to return 5 minutes right to see how is !! "there one touches the bottom… the mother returns (the comment" Gertrude finally will live his reve, to return in universe of the stars !!! ")et is found in the medium one limps where there are 10 people with the m² where people balance themselves alternatively on their legs while raising from time to time the arms to show that they are in rate/rhythm…1/3 of macros and 1/3 of cods... not hesitation one is well in a wholesale…aquarium the kind of limps which personally makes me flee, too many people (to illustrate you that, I would say one day of strike of the RATP in a subway which vibrates with music techno in its walkman…everyone moves together..Forcément, one cannot be held…the girls are caught hands with the buttocks, the guy look at an odd air the neighbor who seem to approach more and more…finally something that one will not like to live again…)…

The mother at the end of 5 minutes and "C was brilliant’, it the food is needed says goes down again, limps it too well, people have sympathetic super air, the music is super, is brilliant !!! " …and another makes him (that with air to be a little same style)" is on that must be well…you will spend a good night after that… "… As personally I did not have to appreciate too much as I mentioned above, I am in fact taken to think that the injury had a little attitude of the children who await something with so much impatience that finally even if they are disappointed, do not show it to their buddies because is always better to have done a trick cool that your pals envy, in more as them they did not make, they cannot know if you tell Wholesale… nonsenses odd impression, therestops the sequence on this family.

One passes to another sequence on two families of the western south I believe who them one cooler air with children ten years… But them am their last evening then they stroll on the port while also hoping to find a star !! _ and there, splendid, one of father fate " Look at be Clara Morganne with terrace " (imagine the head of their wife which must himself say " and bah veil it have need that one fall on it, one have really not some bottom …be the case to it say ")…the two father himself dismount not and go see their " star " which be take a glass in terrace to him ask whether they can make a photograph with it…I know not if it have see the camera or if it himself fact ch*er but in any case it accepts ; thus click-clac (" yes is my wife who takes the photograph " ; "  not is nice but one cannot remain etc… "). While leaving the two fathers are happy supers (" T’saw it is super sympathetic " " ouais is on, frankly it was quite good with us… ").

Finally both are the women delighted, laugh more or less yellow and the little boy leaves " was which it Madam ? Why you ace knows dad ? "…. Me had died of laughing in front of my screen

There is not to say, St Tropez in August, in these cases there is well a trick of beauf, in any case that m’made well laugh, even missed the star ac by the blow ;) …The tele one as average sociological study …in any case would like to know opinion of the guy who filmé/monté/commenté the report, I do not know if it were dismayed just like me, indifferent or accessory to followed people, I go can be to send a mall to them I would see well …

Save my queen

My research for God Save My Queen II has led me once again to the German word Doppelganger. In the napkin above, my friend Kathy attempts to give me all the possible variations of the word -- plural male, plural female (which I think I will use in the book, thus ensuring a footnote or shout-out in the dedicatory). The word will be used in the entry for the song "The Miracle," in which the Queen band members used body doubles in their video. They were children, actually, and I asked Kathy if there was a German word for "Mini Me." "Minidoppe" she attempts that in the upper-left-hand corner of this napkin. Doppelganger means "double goer," which is great -- Freddie's trademark admonishment to Brian, mid-solo, is "go, go, go!" and the fact it's a German word is very attractive, since this late Queen anthemic stuff sold like hotcakes in the former DDR. Here's a still from "The Miracle" video:
