...hard-line attitude on law and order, tapped him as Interior Minister. Sarkozy's efforts there and in later Cabinet posts boosted his popularity just as he was consolidating his control of the conservative Union for a Popular Majority (UMP) ahead of the 2007 presidential race. Chirac, however, remained furious over Sarkozy's earlier disloyalty and backed Villepin as the next President. It was in that atmosphere of antagonistic maneuvering that the Clearstream scandal erupted...
...original story of Semele, which William Congreve adapted for his libretto, is a oft-told tale. The titular mortal protagonist falls in love with Jupiter, king of the gods. They have an affair, but when Jupiter’s jealous wife Juno finds out, she swears revenge.

They're just not friendly enough or sexy enough, or they're replacements for something that wasn't particularly broken...
...This furious and sexually frustrated dream sequence comes straight out of nowhere, and it’s powerful. The mixing on Quinn’s voice is a little weak, but otherwise her performance is tough as she punches her way through the number. Throw in some Cheerios in football uniforms as backup and we have the episode’s showstopper...
