Well, I guess this Gable cartoon kind of says it all. I mean what more can you say eh?
That's what the Cons have done to our Parliament.
But since this is after all a four-ring fascist circus, it's a quiet day, and I'm feeling a bit idiot, I thought I'd bring you some of the other lowlights.
Although it's a gay national holiday, I decided not to celebrate Halloween this year.
Because let's face it eh? Who needs scary when we got Harper?
And besides with Lezra Levant running around like the crazy lady guy from Psycho...
I decided it was too dangerous to go out. I mean with all those other drag queens runninghobbling staggering around, how was I supposed to tell one from the other? You know some people say Lezra is losing it, but I think he's just crying out for help. And who can blame him?
But of course this is the REALLY scary part. Stocks were hit hard on Monday after Italian bond yields rose, a U.S. financial firm sought bankruptcy protection and Greece called for a referendum on last week’s European debt deal, stirring up concerns about the sovereign-debt crisis. The economy is threatening to go south again, but Harper is still insisting he's an economist, and little Jimbo Flaherty is still determined to slash spending and plunge Canada into a recession. Because, as usual, he didn't see it coming, he doesn't know what he's doing. “I think it’s great for Flaherty to go to Europe and tell everyone what to do — but I hope someone in our government is thinking about what we do when the s--t hits the fan here, which it will,” said the former head of a major Crown corporation. And he can't decide whether to be an idiot gnome or an evil goblin...
Oh boy. Can you imagine the horror? Can you hear the screams in the night? Where did my pension go????? Why is the CBC off the air????? Who murdered Mrs Medicare????? !!!!!! Can you imagine the social unrest? The International Labour Organisation has warned that a jobs crisis caused by the slowdown in the global economy threatens a wave of widespread social unrest engulfing both rich and poor countries. Official figures released today showed that unemployment in the 17-nation eurozone had climbed to a 15-year-high of 10.2%. Young people are being hardest hit by the lack of jobs, with youth unemployment at 29% in Italy, 43% in Greece and 48% in Spain. And youth unemployment in Canada is already TWICE the national average. So the Occupy Canada movement will just get bigger and bigger eh? But of course that's why the Cons are building all those fancy new prisons. Happy Hell-o-ween everybody. Welcome to my recurring nightmare...
OK. So today probably isn't the best day to defend the CBC. Not when I went to watch Question Period this afternoon, and discovered that their noisy news network was covering the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor instead.
Gawd. Where's the propofol, or the so-called milk of amnesia, when you need it eh?
The Conservatives are calling on some of the CBC's harshest critics and competitors to testify about the broadcaster at a parliamentary hearing on access to information.
Some of the witnesses requested by the Tories include Sun Television/Sun Media pundits Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley, and the president of their parent company Quebecor, Pierre Karl Peladeau. Quebecor's television networks compete directly with the CBC for viewers in Quebec.
Because is this a hearing or a LYNCHING? And since when is anybody who works for Fox News North considered a journalist? I mean I know if you give a monkey a typewriter, and enough time, it can theoretically write the complete works of William Shakespeare. But I bet the Sun monkeys couldn't.
On the other hand, I do see the bright side eh?
Lezra should look FABULOUS...
And so totally ridiculous, Dean Del Mastro will have to turn up in a tutu if he wants to be noticed.
You know...why IS his organization in bed with separatists and former FLQ terrorists? Why IS a private company getting OUR hard earned tax dollars? Allo police?
And as for Pierre Karl Peladeau, he might finally be forced to answer the most embarrassing question of all: Did Quebecor really create a network for the sole purpose of destroying another?
So it can have total control of the Quebec media, or even MORE than it has now.
Hmmm....I think I change my mind eh? This could be the most entertaining lynching EVAH.
And who knows who could end up looking REALLY bad? Apart from the McCarthyite Cons.
Hey Del Mastro !!!! Fetch me a pizza...or a poll. After you put on you tutu.
Remember how in my last post I said people should ignore how Lezra Levant, in an interview with Michael Coren, mocked the way Canadians were reacting to Jack Layton's death?
Well I changed my mind...
Because after screening the interview in question I now feel it may very well be...in fact almost certainly is...
And the most RIDICULOUS. So EVERYBODY should watch it eh?
Because if Sun TV News had any credibility left, which I doubt, it's all gone now.
You know... somebody should tell Lezra that the makeup person didn't work for six long hours to make him less ugly, only to have him put on a wig. Hint. Hint.
But they never tell those bitter nerds the ghastly truth, because they're afraid to hurt their feelings. Or cause them to spit when they talk...even more than they already do. So they never learn. And without that crucial feedback they are LOST.
Oh well. At least there's a bright spot eh?
Since Lezra is now doing the show in drag, in an obvious attempt to improve his dismal ratings.
At least now we can call him DIVINE...
Although, sadly, unlike the real Divine, there is nothing beautiful about Lezra.
You know I wouldn't be surprised if he dresses up as Ann Coulter next. And challenges the head of the CBC to eat a heaping portion of scrambled eggs off his ample behind.
While Michael Coren plays his limey organ grinder, and Christie Blatchford plays his monkey.
