I’ve been thinking about how it feels to be the President of France on entering a room and wondering how many of the men there have enjoyed the company of his wife.

Caesar’s wife was supposed to be above suspicion at a time when reputations mattered. Nowadays, things are different, it appears. For some reason President Sarkozy felt that he needed a wife who flaunted her assets. People who are strangers to her have even seen her nude photos in the papers and on the internet.

Carla’s latest venture is the release of a new album which sings about 30 lovers and hard drugs. Somehow, I doubt the bit about 30 lovers. As Maxwell Smart would say “Would you believe 30 plus?”

In all honesty, I don’t really care about her past as much as why a man who is in a such an exalted political position would think that Carla would enhance his reputation. Only a psychiatrist would dare to explain his need for a woman with a lively past.

On the other hand, former Presidents of France kept mistresses and even had second secret families. So, in a way, with Sarkozy it’s all out in the open and there is no usual hypocrisy about honour and purity where there’s none in the higher echelons of power. What you see is what you get. And that’s a refreshing change for the French.

I have two sons who are academics. Neither of them is a sport superstar, but I can announce very proudly that one of them has a Sports Certificate.

We have been sorting papers in preparation for our move to Melbourne. Some of them are written in cuneiform, others in more modern hieroglyphics. That’s how long it has taken my husband to finally go through some boxes of stuff.

To our delight, we can display the blue Sports Certificate awarded to a Gans offspring in 1987.

for Debating lol

What is a Ruddism? It’s taking the credit for something that was going to be done anyway. The PM went to Japan and announced that he had made a deal so that Toyota would produce a Hybrid car in Australia. He would even give the Japanese millions of dollars to do so. Sounded good didn’t it?

Well, this morning we learn from the Japanese that Toyota was going to do this anyway. But now they have $70 million of our dollars to help them. So what did he achieve at a time when “working families”, his pets supporters, are doing it tough?

I swear that Rudd is like the crowing rooster who takes the credit for the sun rising in the morning—especially in the land of the rising sun, as it happened. He did it at the 2020 summit and he’s still doing it now.
Well, good luck to Toyota for getting money out of Rudd and his Labor people and bad luck for us.

One day after my post about Dianne Feinstein being possibly canvassed for the Vice-Presidency, there is news that Obama has met Hillary at Dianne Feinstein’s home. What a coincidence!

I still think he went there to talk to Dianne rather than Hillary.

As I write, Obama and his advisors are scouting around for a suitable vice-presidential candidate. He doesn’t want Hillary but he wants to appease the feminists so he has to find a woman. It would be even better if that woman were Jewish, for example, so perhaps Dianne Feinstein from California will be selected.

I bet lots of folk in the U.S.A will be conned by that slick move

I have to credit this observation to my husband who is very politically astute. I agree with him 100%. Now we will see the politicking for real.

Oh what a long and boring election this has been and it goes on and on and on. So much sucking up! I swear that the candidates’ noses are getting longer and longer as they continue with the electioneering.

Reminds me of one of my favourite songs:-

“Oh the games people play now.
Every night and every day now.
Never meaning what they say now,
Never saying what they mean.”

That’s politics. Just a game…

In Australia we have LCM treats by Kellogg’s, but in the U.S they are called Rice Krispies treats, I believe. Anyhow, whatever they are, this Kellogg’s ad sends a poor message to children. Continue reading →

I saw a couple of episodes of the series, “Sex and the City” and I will not be going to see the movie despite its constant promotion by the media. Continue reading →
