What's what in the French papers
Well, they are not paying very much attention to Perfidious Albion today, which is unfortunate as a French take on Levy had the potential to be interesting. Meanwhile, every time I see Labour Party translated as 'parti travailliste' I'm mildly amused.
Liberation has some opinion poll figures on Chirac, noting: "With ten months of his term left by 47% to 43% the French judge that his two presidencies will have been "good forFrance
It is rather worrying that 1 in 10 Gauls cannot summon an opinion as to whether their president has been good or bad.....

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Dear lord - and they let these people, drive, vote have shotgun licenses etc?
Lowering the tone a lot further, there was a polls on the News of the World site the other week - something like 'will Rooney be fit for the next round?', with yes, no and don't know as options. About 5% had clicked on the latter. I do wonder what kind of pond life thinks it is worth self-selecting themselves for a poll only to choose 'don't know'.
PCF - thank you for that. It has taken quite some time to get over my hysterics sufficiently to type a reply.
Meanwhile, a rather apposite quote from Frank Zappa:
"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.”
not as worrying as the eight in ten who thinks Bliar is a .....!
Spell it how you will.
Not sure about Zappa's cosmology etc, but that quip is always good for a laugh.
I'm on the yougov panel (hey - 50 pence for doing a survey is 50 pence), and oh how I strain every sinew to avoid ever answering 'don't know' to anything asked as I've always regarded 'don't knows' as being at about the same intellectual level as mould.
PCF - yeah, I think that is the current rate. I don't do the dull surveys at that price, but I'll do the 'pure' political ones as I'd do them for nada anyway. So, yup, I'm cheap...
All getting a bit raucous over at our friend Cranmer's place, isn't it?
