The French won't like her.
That could help her.
*Thanks, Richmond Rambler, for the link! As pointed out by Deb, the photo is faked. I honestly think it shows her personality, though.

Today's quotation
They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God given rights then what’s left? The French Revolution. What’s left is a government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights. What’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine.
--Rick Santorum, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination who just won three primaries, on Wednesday
Le petit aperçu d'Ailleurs
Huge strikes underway in Greece as protestors complain about government austerity measures, which are required immediately in order for the Greek government to be able to borrow money from other countries to pay its bills and not go bankrupt in weeks.

I'm no fan of the Republican party, but, well, check out Snopes (this photo is false):

Sedulia,
I'm tickled pink you posted this deliciously faked photo. I suppose if she really looked like that after having five children... well, it would be the biggest news of the convention!
She is no Carla Bruni.
A bit of gossip about the latter you may enjoy: years ago, I worked as a model in Paris, and was acquainted with Bruni. She was seeing Mick Jagger and was determined to let the world know all about it. Her way of spreading the info was rather clever: she whispered in the ear of just about everyone (including yours truly), "Yes, I am now with Mick, but promise me you won't tell a soul!"

What a great story! Yes, I think she will ditch Sarko shortly after he leaves office. But then, I don't suppose there are many famous people who aren't slightly ruthless.
