First 100 days
A well tanned Dominique de Villepin was on the news this evening to report on his first 100 days as French Prime Minister. (Now there's a hot news item for the political segment. Can you tell the French political class has been on vacation?) We'd just about finished eating, and the kids were each carrying on separate conversations.
For that reason the only part I caught was that he seems to use hair spray now, and that the unemployed really should get off their butts and get jobs already.
That makes sense. After all, official unemployment recently dropped from 10% to 9.9% while Villepin and the rest of the political class were improving their tans. Good jobs are plentiful now that structural employment issues have been resolved.
