Calamity

I'm in a state of shock at the moment. Checking Libé for details of the first round of the French Presidential elections, I read that, according to the exit polls, Jospin is eliminated - and Chirac will face Le Pen in the second round. This can't be! A crook up against a fascist, with the left nowhere. I can only hope that the left win the parliamentary elections.
