Finding His Own Private Costello

Considering the fact that the Western Canada Wilderness Committee handed him his head on the 'Working Forests Initiative' issue, it's no surprise that Provincial 'Sustainable Resource Management' Minister George Abbott doesn't want to have anything to do with WCWC spokesman Ken Wu :

'....Abbott said he spoke to Wu three times on (last) Thursday (before the surrender), and in the last conversation, Wu thanked the minister for listening. "I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm trying to accept it as a compliment," Abbott said.'

In other words, Boy George hates it when people actually pay attention to what he says and does, especially when it becomes common knowledge that a year-old government-commissioned consultation report indicated no public support for the 'Working Forest Initiative' that would have privatized half the Crown Land in the Province.

But what can a Poor Boy Do when nobody believes that Raping the Forests has anything to do with either 'Resource Management' or 'Sustainability'?

Clearly, Mr. Abbott doesn't have the chops to Slave in a Rock and Roll Band.

But we do hear that Master Axeman Dick Cheney, who recently visited the nearby the State of Washington to flog his very own Forest Destroying 'Healthy Forest Initiative' may be looking for a new gig soon.

So if Abbott can convince Cheney to change his name to Costello maybe the two of them can take their act on the road and do the old Double-Speak Schtick while asking each other 'Who's on First?'

Of course that wouldn't be Dubya. After all, Commander Codpiece was born on Third and figures he hit a Triple.

Point of all this?..... British Columbia Liberal Policy is nothing more than Bush-League stuff masquerading as the Real Thing.
