He may be a dog, but still...

French President François Hollande has been in the news most recently because of his interesting home life, because he was living with a woman not his wife, who didn't exactly endear herself to the French publique, and then he proceeded to have an affair with a comely French actress.  This caused the home mistress to get so upset she was hospitalized, and then came the official announcement that she was officially not the official mistress anymore.

You can read all about that lots of other places.   Still, Hollande does know the importance of science, and his most recent budget preserved the science budget of the country.  Nice move.

Now, if he could just keep his private life less adventurous.  But still, as the French might say, c'est une affaire.  And they don't seem to care as much about such things as the Puritan-tradition Americans.
