Given that somewhat hedonistic reputation, Sarkozy's expression of newfound piousness led author and famed social commentator Bernard-Herni Lévy to muse in the weekly Le Point over "the probable stupor of Cardinals listening to the apostle of the bling-bling presidency (and) uninhibited relationship with ostentatious pleasure...
...joke darkly when they talk about what was left of Iskandariyah's mayor after he was blown up by a powerful roadside bomb called an EFP earlier this month. They have to.

After Tigers center Zach Finley dropped in a hook shot to open the scoring in the second half, pushing the lead to 11, the Crimson snapped out of its offensive stupor. A jumper by Housman broke the seal on the Harvard basket and served to ignite the explosive point guard and his team. Goffredo earned his first two points on a driving bank shot, sophomore forward Andrew Pusar drove baseline for a layup, and then Housman took the game over, scoring...
