The French presidential election (redux)

When, some time ago, I innocently sent an e-mail to Ségolène Royal's campaign to get on her mailing list, little did I expect such a bombardment. Almost daily I receive an e-mail entitled La lettre de Désirs d'avenir ("The letter of Hope for the future"); each letter is numbered, today's was no. 95. Each has the text of every speech she has given, every interview with the media, and video clips of those same events, and more. I could spend two hours reading and watching each.

Well, Sunday May 6th will be the run-off vote between her and Nicolas Sarkozy (le second tour). After that, whoever wins, will I ever hear from Ségolène again? I don't have high expectations..

Mycroft Watson is the nom de plume of a man who has seen many winters. He is moderate to an extreme. When he comes to a fork in the road, he always takes it. His favorite philosopher is Yogi Berra. He has come out of the closet and identified himself. Anyone interested can get his real name, biography, and e-mail address by going to "Google Search" and keying in "User:Marshall H. Pinnix" (case sensitive).
