Medical News: Obsessive Sarkomona

d'apres Leonardo da Vinci - 1503-o5
“He’s penetrated some of their deepest fantasies. I noticed all this passion in people speaking of him, and I thought there is something particular about this man — he’s like a reflection of us in the mirror.”“He’s the incarnation of the postmodern man, obsessed with himself, turned toward pleasure, autonomous and narcissistic,” the psychiatrist said. “And he exhibits his joys and sorrows, all his private life, his sentimental doubts and pleasures. He represents the individualism of the society to the extreme, that it’s the individual who counts, not the society.”A year after taking office, Mr. Sarkozy can appear to be everywhere, at least in the world of television and print.“He fascinates everyone,” said a friend who knows Mr. Sarkozy well and did not want to be identified speaking about him. “He’s passionate, and he polarizes people.”
“After a year of dependency, how can we stop being Sarkotoxicated?”

As yet, there appears to be no cure.

Why France cares about Sarko’s wedding belle

Forget whether or not they will be able to sleep in the same bedroom on the State visit to Buckingham Palace, or whether or not it was a shotgun wedding, or how seemly having a pop music room at the Elysée really is. What I want to know is: if Nicolas Sarkozy did wed Carla Bruni last week, as rumour has it, what did she wear?
This is no flippant question: if the nuptials actually happened, they have the potential to be one of the most predecedent-setting state weddings of the decade. For while the daughters of heads of state get married all the time, sitting presidents and, even more so, recently divorced newly elected sitting presidents, are a whole different story.Note:Various legends trace coq au vin to ancient Gaul and Julius Caesar, but the food is not documented until the early 20th century, though it no doubt existed as a rustic country dish long before that.

Carla Bruni:The one thing all the men I've loved have in common is a strong feminine side. I find feminine men very virile and macho men very fragile.

Nicolas Sarkozy is known to be a great fan of the perpetual French rocker, Johnny Hallyday. Otherwise, music does not appear to feature greatly in his busy schedule. Explaining her choice of men, Mme Bruni once said: "Desire is not very precise in my case, so I never choose. The one thing all the men I've loved have in common is a strong feminine side. I find feminine men very virile and macho men very fragile. Machismo is a defence mechanism." Oddly enough, one of Cécilia Sarkozy's implied criticisms of her former husband is that he was too driven and lacked a feminine side to his character.

Bang-Bang:France is divided over Nicolas Sarkozy’s new girlfriend Carla Bruni after she appears in a sexy new car commercial

Expected on television in France at the end of this month, the advertisement for the new Lancia Musa car is also an eye-catching introduction to France’s first lady in waiting.
A highly paid model and folk singer, Carla Bruni, the temptress in the Lancia advertisement, makes an unlikely presidential muse. But instead of embracing the novelty of a glamorous working girl as “première dame”, France seems divided over Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to marry her just three months after reluctantly getting divorced from Cécilia, his second wife, who left him for another man.
