I am being led to understand that the results of this weekend's elections in France (86% voter turnout - holy shit!) mean the end of the world or something.
No, not the end of the world. Just more of the same, really. Sarko's in Chirac's party and goes by pretty much the same politics. Some personality differences. The margin was pretty slim - 53% to whatever for the win, I think - about as much as bush one, but our crackshot American press is calling it a decisive victory, because that's what they do, and that's what passes for one here.
