La reine des chomeurs a été élue...!

Paris, France -- The commitee for election of queen of the Unemployed has nominated Alice Glading as Queen of the Unemployed for 2007. "The competition was tough but Miss Glading has demonstrated an amazing dedication to the Unemployed and surely deserves that title", said M. Francky, head of the comitee for the Unemployed and nominated King of the Unemployed himself in 2006.

Indeed, Miss Glading has proven herself mastering all the processes that make a great unemployed person. "Becoming a ski-bum was my initial intent, but the lack of snow this year in Switzerland has pushed me to diversify my slacking skills and has made me a better unemployed person as a result", says Miss Glading, who is now spending a lot of her days sleeping til noon, and also perfecting the art of doing nothing. "Before with my job, I did not even have time to get a headache", claims Miss Glading. "Now I finally take full pleasure in every little action that we usually all take for granted, such as going to buy a stamp or empty the dishwasher".

Miss Glading wish for the coming month, is to be soon able to join l'Abbé Pierre on his crusade to help the poor in France and around the world.
