Seis De Mayo

Normally, I'm all about Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that celebrates a French defeat. But this year, I'm in a Francophile kind of mood. You see, election day in France is May 6 and the French are likely to elect Nicolas Sarkozy to be their leader.

Why, you ask, does this matter? Because Sarkozy is the pro-American, right-winger. I didn't know such a thing even existed there! Now I'll grant that being the most right-wing Frenchman is kind of like being the tallest dwarf… but I'll take what I can get. Sarkozy's conservatism is so unusual there that the French consider him liberal while the secular-progressives they call conservatives. Go figure.

Vote Sarkozy!

Viva la France!
