A sad state of affairs
I am familiar with the current state of politics in France. This is due mostly to the fact that around the time of the most recent election, I was rehearsing a lot in Coralville, which is a 20-25 minute commute one-way from my house. Thus, I listened to a lot of NPR and kept up with international events, such as the controversial French election.
Until this very day, I had no idea the president’s name was Sarkozy. I knew how to pronounce it, but I imagined it was something like Sarcousis. I don’t speak French with any authority; I just like to picture words when I hear them.
Note to self:Â read a damn newspaper.
I wanted that nice lady to win 🙁
