So to get out the youth vote for Democratic standard bearer John Kerry, and maybe move a few units of Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore went on the Slacker Uprising Tour, visiting 62 cities, mostly college campuses, in 45 days.

Sarkozy's Thursday address to France's main employers' organization, Medef, was a tour de force fusing policy objectives with performance art, with Sarko alternately playing stand-up comic and revival-meeting preacher. Playing to a friendly crowd, Sarkozy vowed to further lower taxes, reduce companies' salary-linked labor costs, cut thousands of jobs from the civil service, legalize Sunday trading, generally liberalize France...
