I've always amused myself by portraying the right-wing Trudeau hating columnist Margaret Wente as Marie Antoinette. I can't remember why I started portraying her that way, but it was probably because of her snooty approach to everything. But at any rate, I'm happy to report that our Marie Wente will keep her head. But she is losing her job.
In the course of her long and sordid career Margaret Wente has written some terrible stories. In her inimitable style, half click bait, half snooty Marie Antoinette. Some written by her, some plagiarized. But I do believe that this could be her worst column ever.
I must admit that I never paid too much attention to Doug Ford until recently. I just saw him as the lesser half of the ghastly Ford Brother's Comedy and Horror show that almost tanked Toronto. A political thug who tries to intimidate anyone who doesn't agree with him. A millionaire who claims he's fighting the "elites" who he defines this way...
Doug Ford, the new leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, on who he defines as “elites.” Tonight on The Agenda, at 11pm. #onpolipic.twitter.com/sx7vwyeVo0
And is, as you can see, a ghastly Con clown, who if he lost another couple of IQ points would have to be watered rather than fed. But of course, now I have to take him seriously.
He's the shiny bigot balloon of Alberta, the new leader of that province's United Conservative Party. And although he is widely despised by most decent Canadians, Jason Kenney does have one big supporter, or cheerleader in the east. The ghastly Margaret Wente.
As you may know, Justin Trudeau is going to meet with Donald Trump this week to fight for the future of NAFTA.
And try to hold back a tidal wave of protectionism. And since hundreds of thousands of jobs in this country hang in the balance, you might expect that most Canadians would wish him luck. But no, many Cons and other Trudeau haters are hoping he fails. As does the snooty reactionary Margaret "Marie Antoinette" Wente.
It's a classic Canadian story, with some of the good and some of the bad that makes us who we are. And a lot of snow which does the same thing. And it could have been an uplifting tale about battling and conquering the elements in the Great White North. But instead it turned into a horror show, where more than a week later they're still trying to figure out how this could happen. And to make matters worse, some in the Con media are using what happened as an excuse to bash Quebec and Quebecers again.
Sometimes when I hear the Harper Party, the Mulcair Party, and all the other Trudeau haters going after Justin Trudeau with blood in their eyes, and foam in their mouths. I can't decide whether I'm living in the New Canada, the liberated Harperland. Or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
And now to make matters even worse, here comes our own Marie Antoinette, the Queen of the Plagiarists, Margaret Wente herself.
When I last left Margaret Wente just over a week ago, she was bobbing merrily up and down along with the rest of the Con media, in the wreckage of the Harper regime. Still praying for a miracle, and the destruction of Justin Trudeau. But sadly for our Queen of the Globe, her deathly companion's prayers didn't work. And she is still a snooty Con hack, and a serial plagiarist.
As I've mentioned before, the tired, hapless hacks in our MSM underestimated Justin Trudeau from the time he decided to run for office. For them and their Con masters Justin just wasn't ready. And even though he rebuilt the shattered Liberal Party, won a crushing majority, and is at the present time the most popular Prime Minister in Canadian history, they're still singing the same tune. Even if they have to change the words slightly, as our deathly Marie Antoinette Margaret Wente did yesterday.
One never knows what the Globe columnist Margaret Wente is going to write about next. One moment she acts like our very own Marie Antoinette, lamenting the state of the modern world, and the fact that there are so many horrible young and poor people out there. The next moment she's plagiarizing the material of others, or complaining about all her aches and pains, or why she couldn't be filthy rich like the people she most admires, and tries so pathetically to imitate. But her latest column has to be one of her craziest.
As you know, the Con zombies and their friends in the media have been attacking Justin Trudeau and his plan to change the electoral system as if there was no tomorrow. After having realized there will be no tomorrow for them, once the first past the post system is scrapped. Claiming they are not against electoral reform in principle...
While screaming for a referendum to try to stop it from ever happening. So I was almost relieved to see Margaret Wente, our Marie Antoinette, sashay out to meet the mob, and let them know how the Cons really feel...
Oh boy. I knew it was just a matter of time before Margaret Wente, our Marie Antoinette, would look down from her high throne. Or her high horse in the Con media. And condemn Elizabeth May in the most contemptuous manner possible.
According to the Ottawa rumour mill Stephen Harper is now so obsessed with Justin Trudeau, that none of his faithful flunkies dare mention Justin's name in his presence. Lest he fall to his knees and start biting the carpet, or THEM. And for more evidence of that all you have to do is look at the speech he delivered today at of all places the Canadian Heritage War Museum Because it's crazy stuff.
I must admit when I first saw the headline "THE SENATE SCANDAL'S OUT OF LEGS !!!!" I was shocked, and my heart dived into my boots.
I felt like running to a window, opening it wide, and screaming: "Nooooo !!! Nooooo !!! How could this be HAPPENING ??!!#!@!! How low can we go ?!@#!!!! How dumb are my people !#@!#!!! How short their attention spans !#@!#!!! But luckily it was too cold to open the window eh? And it was only Margaret Wente.
I have to admit that I am enjoying every twist and turn in the Margaret Wente plagiarism scandal. Not because I really care whether she ripped off the words of others eh? For that snooty right-wing hack was NEVER original. And in her hands even the works of Shakespeare would read like monkey scribblings. But because she has the colossal gall to portray herself as a victim.
Oh my Con Majesty. I see that Margaret Wente is channelling her inner Marie Antoinette again, and declaring that the members of the Occupy movement shouldn't blame the rich. They should blame themselves.
Ms. O’Gorman is in a fix. But I can’t help wondering whether she, and not the greedy Wall Street bankers, is the author of her own misfortune. Just what kind of jobs did she imagine are on offer for freshly minted sociology graduates? Did she bother to ask? Did it occur to her that it might be a good idea to figure out how to support her children before she had them?
Every year around this time I feel like quitting blogging. And I never understood why I always feel the animal urge to come back. Until I read the bourgeois fool Margaret Wente. And I realized it's because I'm a male, I'm an idiot, and I like to pee in the snow.
Perhaps you've noticed that most of the comments on these websites are not terribly sophisticated. They contain a large insult quotient, even when they come from people with advanced degrees. They remind me of nothing so much as a bunch of 12-year-olds holding peeing contests in the snow.
Not that there's anything wrong with that eh? But all I can say is if she's going to write about blogging, shouldn't she do some research? So she can find out that men and women are equally represented. Spare us from this sexist nonsense: Men clearly have an urge to blog that women lack. Like extreme snowmobiling, the blogosphere is dominated by men. Not many women are interested enough in spitting out an opinion on current events every 20 minutes.
And ask more interesting questions....like why are bloggers getting older? According to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, blogging activity has dropped drastically among young adults in the United States....In December 2007, for instance, 28 percent of all 18-to-29-year-olds with an Internet connection kept some sort of blog. By the same time last year, that number hovered around 15 percent. "Sites like Twitter are offering this other way to maintain a similar social connection, but without the concerted effort of a detailed, four-paragraph blog post..." Or the questions I ask myself. Is a four-paragraph blog post really a concerted effort? Is Wente really an IDIOT? These days, you don't even have to start a blog to get an audience. All you have to do is write “Margaret Wente is an idiot” and hit send. Instant gratification! And who knew she's THAT famous? Of course I'm an idiot too. But I do love blogging. And since I also like to make videos. And the more videos I make the less I blog. Which thanks to the Manolo Lady, I now understand is bad for my manly manliness.
I welcome this development...
Or do I? Although I liked the Late for Work one a lot, and the blond guy at the bar...when he was drunk... I STILL can't decide.
Are we becoming smarter and more creative....or dumber and more violent?
Oh well. At least two things are for sure eh?
Whether you're male or female blogging is easier when it rains. Harder when it's sunny and WARM.
And after today, nobody can deny, that Margaret Wente is an IDIOT...
