Royal Wins French Socialists’ Nomination - New York Times
Segolene Royal won her Socialist Party’s nomination for the French presidency Thursday, a crucial step in her bid to become France’s first female chief executive.
The win means Royal will avoid a possibly divisive second round ballot against former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius and former Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn — two members of the party’s old guard who had challenged her.
Italy decriminalizing pot, France (possibly) getting a female president, South Africa getting gay marriage, and America getting Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house, making some pretty fantastic promises for her first 100 hours in power.
The world’s pretty damned good right now, except that ridiculous war in Iraq.. oh, and the like, 30 pot busts I read about on Google News today.
