French election has begun!

As Le Monde notes, there is a, who the f*** cares attitude about this election. For one thing, the polls are open on a Sunday, which would give about 10% participation in the US. For another, Sarkozy looks set to win, so it is dubious whether it is worth it for anyone to even bother voting, except if, in the hilarious structure of the French, Royal can "faire mentir les sondages." (which means, make the polls lie) I think if we talked in that sort of structure in america, I would be a much bigger fan of the world and life in general.

In fact, the interest in the election is so great that the other main article is about reading people's minds.
