Mr. Dersot, in the case of Enoki, I think his supporters down the street are just happy to see his goofy posters. I'll have to head over there and take some photos - great stuff. (To be honest, had I been able to vote, Enoki may well have received my vote on the strength of his grin alone. ) Thanks, guys.

It is excellent because it reminds of such an obvious truth so easy to forget : those guys have but one dream, to be stars at the local political sit-coms. It is good to get reminded of the obvious, that they have no vision, nor any interests in tackling with down to earth social issues. It may be that their supporters down the street are pretty happy just seeing new basketball backboards in the gym. Good job.
