WeDon'tNeedNoStinkin'ParliamentVille
In which a series of little black spots, eighteen of them to be precise, suddenly appeared on the big banana that constitutes Stephen Harper's Make Believe Republic:
"There are 18 vacancies in the 105-seat Senate and Harper will try to fill as many of those slots as quickly as possible in order to put them out of reach of a Liberal-NDP coalition."
After a good stiff drink of some really rancid Kool-Aid that I bought, purely for experimental purposes of course, from my kooky conservative colleague down the hall, I found the voices in my head shouting out the following:
In these most trying of times, can we really blame Our Dear Leader for this most offensive offensive?
After all, like rotting fruit, duplicitous dictatorships masquerading as 'suspended' parliamentary democracies can spoil very, very quickly.
Or put another way, as it was by the conservative Senator from The Albertalands, Bert Brown, on CBC's (beat) 'The House' (with a really big stick) this morning, these eighteen appointments are extremely:
"Time Sensitive"
Ya, Bert.
You bet your life they are time sensitive/rotten to the core, especially given the fact that they may include a whole bunch of moldering, festering spots such as the following as suggested by, first, a real honest to goddess unbiased journalist named Mr. David Akin:
"Michael Fortier won't be getting a call but I'll bet John Reynolds might get a look for one of the 3 BC Senate seats that are open....."
And second, by a journalist that, apparently, is so unabashedly unbiased that he is able to act as a commentator for Macleans while he simultaneously does his best to cram entire bushels of bananas down the country's collective throat at every opportunity, Mr. Stephen Taylor:
Mario Dumont made his exit from Quebec politics this week and may find his return as a senator from Quebec. Dumont has been an ally of the Prime Minister and this would satiate the smaller ADQ elements in Harper’s Quebec machine.
Oh, and just in case you missed the 'Welcome to the Watercarriers' portion of Mr. Taylor's exposition, he also suggests that Mr. Michael Duffy be appointed the newly minted Senator from the great state of Maine......errrrrrr....PEI.
And for your final laugh of the day, inserted intentionally we're sure for it's ability to goose the short attention span of the rest of the herd media, Mr. Taylor also thinks that Captain Kirk would make a fine 4th choice from Quebec.
Which might not be a bad idea, as far as it goes, at least from Mr. Shatner's perspective given that such an appointment would give him a chance to start mixing it up once again with the common people.
Common People like.......
You.
OK?

And, speaking of Maximum John, what ever happened to his efforts to lobby the Dictatorship on behalf of Smilin' Sammy's Codeine Substitution Consortium, or whatever the heckfire it was?
And for those who can't get enough leggo, two gees or not, with their entertainment, please click 'here'. Go ahead, all the smilin' happy people of the dictatorship are doing it.
