  • Les socialistes mènent-ils les pays à la faillite?

    Les socialistes ont mis l'Espagne «à genoux», ils ont conduit la Grèce à la faillite. C'est ce que Nicolas Sarkozy et l'actuelle majorité ont expliqué pendant la campagne. Si c’était vrai, on pourrait avoir peur pour la France. Pour tout dire, si l’ancien Président de la République et d’autres dirigeants de l’actuelle majorité avaient raison, cela nous simplifierait beaucoup la tâche, en tant qu’électeurs, pour les prochaines législatives. Si socialisme rimait avec mauvaise gestion et faillite, le choix serait simple. Malheureusement, il semble que ce soit un peu plus…

  • Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, candidate à la présidentielle en 2017?

    Slate.fr
    16 May 2012 | 5:02 am
    Selon un «Confidentiel» du Figaro publié sur son site le 16 mai, l'ex-porte-parole de Nicolas Sarkozy, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, a appelé le secrétaire général de l'UMP Jean-François Copé et lui aurait tenu ces propos on ne peut plus explicites:«Ecoute, Jean-François, pour la direction du parti, je ne sais pas si je me présenterai. Mais quoi qu'il en soit, sache-le: je serai candidate à la présidence de la République en 2017.»Un échange téléphonique que la même NKM a démenti un peu plus tard auprès d'Europe 1. La preuve que la maire de Longjumeau, candidate dans la 4e…

    Le premier tour des élections législatives aura lieu le 10 juin en métropole; les 2 et 3 juin dans certains départements et territoires d'outre-mer et dans les circonscriptions des Français de l'étranger. Le second tour se tiendra une semaine plus tard. Lors de cette élection, qui verra les députés élus pour cinq ans à l'Assemblée nationale, la gauche qui vient de remporter la présidentielle, pourrait avoir la majorité dans l'ensemble des institutions.

  • A Cannes, la renaissance Carax

    Jean-Michel Frodon
    16 May 2012 | 1:40 am
    Holy Motors, un film de Léos Carax. Avec: Denis Lavant, Kylie Minogue, Edith Scob, Eva Mendes, Elise Lhomeau, Michel Piccoli. Présenté en compétition officielle le 23 mai. Sortie nationale le 4 juillet 2012. Ils sont 22, mais lui est, comme toujours, tout seul. 22 réalisateurs en compétition officielle au Festival de Cannes, chacun avec une trajectoire singulière bien sûr, et pourtant il est, et il sera, à part. Le paradoxe de Leos Carax est sans doute d’être dans une situation d’impossible héritage. On l’avait découvert, à Cannes déjà, avec un film qui s’inscrivait…

  • Non, Barack Obama n'a pas changé d'avis sur le mariage gay

    David Plotz
    16 May 2012 | 1:39 am
    Barack Obama n’est pas plus hypocrite que n’importe quel autre homme politique —notamment Mitt Romney— mais c’est bel et bien un hypocrite. Aussi, bien que je ne puisse que me réjouir de son soutien au mariage gay, quand bien même cela ne signifierait pas grand-chose légalement parlant, il y a quelque chose qui me dérange dans cette histoire de conversion un peu trop éloquente. Dans l’interview qu’il a accordée à ABC News, le Président a raconté comment il avait changé d’avis sur le mariage homosexuel. Selon lui, ses idées ont évolué «au fil des ans, en parlant…

    David Weigel
    15 May 2012 | 7:13 pm
    The founders of Americans Elect had a dream: A 50-state presidential campaign that would upend, smash, destroy the two-party system. Today, these founders admitted that it wouldn’t work. No presidential candidate had survived the first round of the online primary. At least $35 million had been spent on absolutely nothing.

    In 2008, ABC began the fall season airing precisely one half-hour comedy, Samantha Who?, starring Christina Applegate as Doesn’t Matter. In 2009, ABC began the fall season airing four sitcoms. In 2010, a month before the networks announced their fall schedules, the New York Times’ Brian Stetler reported of “a renaissance…for the network TV sitcom, which not too long ago was pronounced terminally ill.” The piece relayed audience research determining that painful economic times called for belly-aching laughter; it forwarded the notion that 22-minute sitcoms were well-suited to online…

    15 May 2012 | 4:38 pm
    When Facebook filed for its initial public offering in February, Mark Zuckerberg wrote a frank letter to potential investors in the firm. “Facebook was not originally created to be a company,” he began. “It was built to accomplish a social mission—to make the world more open and connected.” The founder went on to say that while making money was important to Facebook, raking in cash was not its primary goal. “Simply put: we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.”
