Condoms & Bikinis—The French Election Must Be Approaching
French Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has sponsored the distribution of free condoms with his party logo on them to French beachgoers.
I’ve heard of free alcohol dispensed by politicians, but not condoms. This is an excellent idea and can only contribute to the well-being of the French people. American politicians should do the same. It would reduce the level of new HIV infections and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Regretfully, Sarkozy is a right-winger. TexasLiberal readers may be more inclined to support the likely Socialist candidate Segolene Royale. Ms. Royale has not, as far as I know, handed out condoms. She was however, involved in controversy. French magazines photographed her taking a walk on the beach in a bikini and discussion ensued about an alleged trivialization of French politics.
The French presidential election will be held in April, 2007.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Sarkozy’s wife is hot and Royale herself is hot. Neither look like Pamela Anderson nude but I can’t decide who to support. Political decisions are so hard these days when using the Paris Hilton guidelines.
(still doing my part for your Google directed hits.)
Wow! I can’t forget this best design.
