Wa-La! I told you that I was taller than the tower!

I gave everything for France.... even my teeth

So let's see... I no longer have the crap job of trying to govern France and can now focus on life with my jot wife... Am I supposed to feel bad about this?

This pose by newly-ousted French President Nicolas Sarkozy at Paris' Trocadero square during his reelection campaign has become le meme.

Francoise Hollande of the French Socialist Party has defeated incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy to become France's new president. It's always sad to see one of our favorite builder characters go... but who am I kidding? The person everyone's really going to miss is his wife Carla Bruni.
