RailGate For Real....(not) Day 4.....

GetReadyForTheBigFridayBeforeLongWeekend
DumpVille


6:30pm: Well, whaddy'a know.....Looks like the Globe's readers are not quite 'aligned' with their highly circumspcriptive Editorial writers......Ha!....Can the closing of the comment threads, again, be far behind.....(thanks to GWest, in the downstream comments, for the heads-up)...

4:30pm: Today's final score, so far.......gov.bc.ca PAB-Bots - 34.........leg.bc.ca Ledge-Lackeys - 6... Quite a shellacking I must say.....Clearly the members of the winning team did not listen to one of their REAL Bosses, Curly, in the comments this morning....

9:30am:
Just because the Railgate Judge and the Lawyers are not working until Tuesday doesn't mean that we won't be....Stories we're working on include the following:

#1 - Who else, exactly, 'profited' from the Campbellero-driven 'failure strategy' in the run-up to the BC Rail sale/not sale (hint: 'It's the tax-breaks, stupid!').....

#2 - What really was the relationship between defendent David Basi, Star(chamber?) witness for the prosecution to come, Eric Borman(n), and (former?)FedLib Rainmaker Mark Marisssen BEFORE the BC Rail deal went down?.....

#3 - Who, precisely, signed 'Bob from Burnaby's OIC appointment letter when he became a ministerial assistant who would soon be on the inside of the RC Rail sale/not sale strategists' "cone of not-so much silence" not long after the 2001 election?...

#4 - And finally, because the ostriches, including The Ledgie Boys this morning, won't go there (although Gary Mason, to his considerable credit, did), we will delve into some of the publically available information regarding a subject that most of the proMedia stenos did not include in their reports of K. McCullough's cross-examination of Campbellero-In-Chief , Martyn Brown, so far......Which is
the activities of the "Outreach and Special Projects Division" of the Premier's office that was headed by Mr. Michael McDonald back in the day....And please note: Mr. McDonald is NOT the former front man for the Doobie Brothers....He is, however, the spouse of a former very, very high-ranking Campbellerian insider named 'Jessica'......And while we have no knowledge of his ever having owned a sled named 'Rosebud', Mr. McDonald most definitely did own a PR Firm called 'Rosedeer' that did some very 'innovative' work for a very, very fine fellow named Smilin' Sammy who has, by all accounts, never actually driven a Big Green Bus all by himself.... Imagine that!.....

OK.....That oughta be enough to get us through our popcorn-withdrawl over the weekend and get us all prepped and ready for the fireworks to come next week, don't you think?.....Oh, and rest assured that absolutely no pre-trial publication bans will be harmed in any way by these reports to come....Promise....



8:30am:
What the heckfire were we thinking....Did we actually expect Lawyers, Judges and (our) Money to work on the Friday before a long weekend?....Of course not!.... The trial is scheduled to resume Tuesday....CBC is reporting that the defense plans to keep Campbellero-in-Chief Martyn Brown on the stand for most of the week...

7:30am:
Well, well, well.....Appears the PAB-Bots are in a tizzy....Multiple sightings before 7:00am....Interesting....

Must be desperation. I wonder, are they paid on the piecework system like sweatshop workers? And how is the quality of their work assessed? How do we, the public, who pay to keep these lice employed, evaluate whether we are getting our money's worth?

Hey, PAB - this is one of your REAL bosses speaking! Take the day off!

Curly--

I don't think they're listening....Especially today...After all, they've got dumps to engineer....

Curly said...

Heh heh ...that's the problem with this crew, Ross - they NEVER listen to their REAL bosses (I mean, the poor shmucks who pay their salaries). Time to pink-slip them all...

Curly--

Well.....

We could keep maybe 10 (eg. the current number of fulltime Park Rangers in this province) to churn out legitimate press releases and keep the internets open...Then we could take the other 220 or so positions and hire.....Yup....Park Rangers that actually do real stuff for the people of this province....
