sarkozy

A better password might have saved IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s career

It’s  embarrassing for me to remember that there was a time when I had great hopes for Nicholas Sarkozy. But with today’s announcement of a forthcoming bill that will ban Islamic veils in all public spaces (i.e., not just in locations where public services are being provided), his presidency has officiellement sauté le requin.

A bill banning the niqab—supported by a majority of Canadians: how did our multicultural, tolerant nation get here?

A week in the life of Nicolas Sarkozy

We’ve been a big fan of Nicolas Sarkozy from way back, though he has not exactly set the world on fire since taking over as president of la republique. Still he had a good few days last week, esp with his sweet little addresse to the MNAs in Quebec. And if his hostile takeover bid for the EU goes through, you just know he’ll be hotter than a Citroen blazing in the street in Clichy-sous-Bois.

Why I love the French vol. MCXVIII:
