“Can he fix France ?”, asks Time magazine. “Yes, we can faster” says … French François Hollande. But who cares ?

No comment. But who cares #IRL, anyway, about France after (or even during) Charles de Gaulle, about yet another French big mouth from Corrèze François Hollande, or about whatever French XXIst century‘s President‘s speeches, be they in English ?

France is a big, somewhat fat, but never big enough, thing, somewhere between Krueger Safari Park and Tivoli Holiday Park

No comment by French President François Hollande @Elysee

Please don’t ask about the French President’s private business. Especially if you are British. He will not be amused, as he already answered a journalist last week in England. And neither ask about Paris politics, Frenchonomics, weather in France, or wars abroad. Don’t …

Good French Game with Dassault Rafale in Brazil, Mister Hollande

Good Game, Mister Hollande. And never mind, Brazil is neither a serious country (and Germany is too serious to play with France), but you might find serious Asian military aircraft manufacturers to cooperate with, or maybe aggressive Petromonarks to play serious Dassault (Systemes ?) aerogames with.

After all, Brazil cannot afford it, and doesn’t need it, and never has seriously envisaged purchasing it, but your plane is of course the best in the world in its class (no one can seriously say that the Rafale is not the very best and 100% most state of the art, made in France, so French, military aircraft nowadays), dont ever let anybody tell you, that the Concorde-bis will not sell better than the real thing, unless France, and the world change a lot, for the better, or the (lords of) wars.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you, that France doesn’t have the best of the bests, and most combative, and bolder French minister of defence.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you, that the French Foreign Trade minister is the laughing stock (doesn’t “ARF” mean “ouarf” in globbish ?) of the real world.

Don’t underestimate your own ability as an English speaking salesman (HEC means Hautes Etudes Commerciales, after all) for French luxury goodies (DSK, another HEC graduate, was better for buying luxury goodies), with this new French Economic Diplomacy of yours.

Good French, though not serious, game.

Smarter Cats Wear Smarter Hats

Sometimes, even same oldschool cats need to think different. They must wear different hats for that. But that hat has to remain smart.

Sometimes, even brainy cats need to wear really silly hats. But why shouldn’t that hat be smart ?

Now and then, real cats must wear real men’s red hats, like that hat or not. But that hat has to worn a smart way.

And when weather gets real cold, better buy and wear an appropriate hat, that’s what smart cats say.

Only unsmart cats, don’t know about hat.

That’s all a real cool cat has to think-sing about hat today.

Happy 4th of July from Paris, France, American Friends !

Be free, happy and competitive as always, today, 2morrow and forever, America !

Renaud Favier – July 4th, 2013 – Facebook Competitiveness – LinkedIn

      

Some more readings about France, present, and other more important issues, to download or read online (soma also available on Amazon), in case you wouldn’t have anything fresh (and French) to read this 4th of July.

               

               

         

           

          

Some more “West Coast” (and free) readings about future.

         

And some rather “East Coast”, “business” readings (free, of course).

           

When it’s Tea Time in Europe, it may be Brunch Time East Coast, and Breakfast Time on Pacific Coast. But it’s Always “Café du Matin à Paris” Time

Of course, not everybody everywhere wants to drinks tea, when it’s “tea time” in Paris, France … And of course, the people who love  “Café du matin à Paris” are not just “anybody”. But the good news is, it’s free to like it anywhere, everywhere, anytime.

Happy Chinese 2013 Year of the Snake

There will be a lot of happiness and laughter, this Year of the Snake.

Lots of beauty, poetry, and some mystery.

Lots of good morning coffees.

And lots of lovely evening goodies.

There may be some fighting.

There will be some sad, dead endings, as usual.

But we shall eat good food.

As well as some junk food.

There will be some talking, useful or not.

There will be some walking, like it or not.

There will be lots of paperwork, because that’s the way it is, nowadays.

And there might be love, which would make life complicated, but enjoyable.

Some great love.

Some less great love.

Some strange love.

Some explicit love.

Whatever love works.

Anyway, here we are, now, so let’s come and play, 2013 Snaky !

And Happy Chinese New Year !

What’s up, (French) Euroc(r)at ?

Yes, François Hollande made a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and French Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Marine le Pen applauded (or not). Yes we (French) can (talk to other French European representatives) ! Does real world listen ?

Ps : but not everybody (and the Brits are not “everybody”) can speak French (neither understand the French …) and not everybody believes in French mirages, French miracles, French visions, or French oracles …

 

La Grande Nation against old (all ?) odds, again ?

My goodness, are the French starting a mess in old, continental Europe again ? Read more about it here : http://renaudfavier.com/2013/01/18/mali-algerie-somalie-tour-de-france-et-autres-nouvelles-de-paris-no-french-comment/
