Today is box-ticking day in the US, but we really haven't got anything to add to the debate. Instead we are more interested in the data coming out of Europe and it is looking as though France really is in a spot of bother. TMM think they can hear a wistful tune emanating from the Elysee Palace
Non, je ne regret rien (je pense)
Non, je ne regrette rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Non! Rien de rien ...
Non! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal!
Non! Rien de rien ...
Non! Je regrette rien ...
But cars Citroen et cars Peugeots
Aujourd'hui they start to close
Non! Rien de rien ...
Non! Je ne regrette rien...
Mais ce n'est pas payé, pas balayé,
Je me suis fous les Alemandes!
And now the PMI's
Worse than Italy's
Mes chagrins, pas plaisirs
I'm up to my ears!
Hey, let's raise the VAT!
I said I'd not touch that
But times are dire
So? I'm a liar...
Parce que
Je, je leve le tax
Je, je leve a la max.
Mais j'ai dit
C'est interdit
Mais maintenant
J'ai besoin du dosh
Parce que tout
A tournee a merde
Je, je ne leve rien ..
Mais maintenat je leve
Parce que je suis
Dans le club mediterranee
Oh, I wish I hadn't won
And let Sarko, take the election.
Je, je regrette it all
Can't even blame
Les Anglais for the fall.
Oh shit ..
It's gone wrong, you see
And now we're back
To nineteeen twenty three
When the loo
Was just a hole
And the " l'eau"
Non-potable
Je, je regret tous.
Je, je regret le tous
Da da di daaa.. da da di daaaaa...

ReplyWhen it comes to Monsieur Hollande and his vision for France I can't help,but recall the satirical lyrics to this old number from Beck.Kind of sums' up this economic illiterate ,and his wishful idea of how to make everything groovy !
"You're everywhere and nowhere, baby,
That's where you're at
Going down the bumpy hillside in your hippie hat
Flying across the country and getting fat
Saying everything is groovy
When your tires are flat
And it's hi-ho silver lining
Anywhere you go now, baby
I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss
Though it's obvious
Flies are in your pea soup, baby
They're waving at me
Anything you want is yours now,
Only nothing's for free
Life's a-gonna get you someday,
Just wait and see
So put up your beach umbrella
While you're watching TV
And it's hi-ho silver lining
Anywhere you go, well, baby
I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss
Though it's obvious"
ReplyAnd still I don't succeed
I feel it yet I cannot grasp it.
I can't retain it , nor forget it,
And if I grasp it , I cannot measure it.
We're all doomed...

ReplyThe weather has been generally good for the vote in competitive states like Florida, Virginia and North Carolina. It is raining now in Eastern Carolina and around the Tidewater area in Virginia and that will continue until the polls close. There is also rain in Madison and Milwaukee, two Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin.
ReplyMost reports say that turnout in the cities is stronger than expected. There is an enormous turnout in some areas of Connecticut, where the Senate race has been especially nasty.
The 7:00 pm poll closings are in VT and in safe red states GA, IN, KY, and SC. The critical early returns to watch are therefore two of Virginia's suburban Washington DC collar counties. Prince William and Loudoun are swing counties that will point the way for the rest of the evening.
7.30 poll closings include North Carolina and Ohio, where Hamilton County (Cincinnati) and Wood County (Bowling Green) are considered good barometers to watch. A strong win for either candidate there would be highly significant. In NC, Wake, Forsyth and Wilson Counties are critical. If Obama wins those, it is game over for Romney.
Personally I just hope it's not a long night....
