We have now been listening to Hillary's mantra entitled "Experience" for ---how long? A year? Ten Years? It seems like forever.

And yet there's one word that Obama could use to silence that manta in a flash of verbal lightning. That word is "judgement." It could be used in the following sentences:

Dear Sen. Obama:

How do I say this in a nice way?

It ain’t happenin’, Senator. The latest polls show Hillary 20 points up, and trending up; they show you six points down—and sinking like a boulder in a paper canoe. In a little while, if the present trend continues, Hillary will have swift-boated you just as effectively as the right-wing noise machine swift-boated Sen. Kerry, and you will have established your place in history as a wonderful former candidate, one of a vast horde of might-have-beens, didn’t-quite-make-its and gee-what-a-shames like Howard Dean, Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis and George Muskie.

Barack Obama, meet your future.

As an American living in France who has followed the French election quite closely, I'd like to urge my fellow Kossaks to pause just a moment before rushing to condemn Nicolas Sarkozy, the newly-elected president of the country. As you read the MSM, which already has dismissed him as the French Bush, a French Republican,a fascist, etc, I would encourage you to remember your general reaction to the MSM, and to take the sneering vilifications which you read daily in the American press with a considerable lump of salt.

Woody Allen's Match Point is about to open in the United States. Perhaps because Allen's movies are more popular in France than in the US, the film opened there several months ago and I had the opportunity to see it last November. I regard it as the most important film of his career (so far), the achievement of a superb artist at the top of his artistic power. I recommend it to my 2 million fellow Kossacks with no reservations whatsoever.
