So, after my class tonight I went to check out the Ex-Pat American Meet-Up held ironically at Cafe Oz. It was a bizarre mix. Only a few of us: me, a singer from Pavillion, NY (that's about 30 mile from where I grew up), a funny older woman who is also a Cornellian, and a diplomat's wife who wants me to meet her quadrilingual, model daughter and work for the press agency of Democrats in France. But in addition to the 4 Americans, there was also a Bulgarian, a French guy, and a Russian. It was pretty funny. The Americans got very political (all Kerry supporters) and drove the others away. The French guy (who wanted to practice his English) told us we were all ridiculous, citing the fact that there is very little difference between our two parties. So there you have it, the French people would probably vote for Nader.
