French Elections

KFLL, what is known as an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card here in MA works like a bank debit card. You got it right, they changed from the paper food stamps to the cards to "protect" their "self-esteem." Gag! When I pay for my groceries with my debit card, I have to use the choice on the card reader that says "Debit/EBT."

I will go back to the French election.

I'm happy that they chose Sarkozy. Someone who ran on a moomy platform lost to someone who wants to close off the illegal alien floodgates. Yay for the French people!!

I saw this today (long): http://tinyurl.com/3y6bjk

Here are pieces of it:

(1) "Nicolas Sarkozy won the women’s vote and fared well among blue-collar workers, even though his rival for the French presidency was a woman and a Socialist."

(2) "Perhaps most striking was the 52 percent of the women’s vote he captured against 48 percent for Royal, which indicated the campaign transcended gender issues and became truly a choice between ideas - the tough-love message of Sarkozy against Royal’s more nurturing vision.
"Royal didn’t gain any advantage with her argument that she was a mother of four. It had no effect," said Pierre Giacometti, director of the Ipsos agency."

So much for the moo agenda!
