What the heck?

Posted by: Marcus at June 8, 2005 1:49 PM

Hey Kate,
This has nothing to do with this thread--- but have you noticed that Coyne has not blogged since 2 June? Man! Someone must have gotten to him real good. He's still showing up on TV but not blogging. Not to sweat though, you have more than taken up the slack!

Ahhhhh, now this is good full bodied humor. Yes sureee none of that sissy ass lite humor shit.

People... think outside the blog...

With Marcus, that's at least one down.

Diana, since you know what's going on here, take my hand and walk me through.

Seems to me as though it could take time and/or effort to see into this I admit, I am in the dark.

Oh, OK Diana, I see it now. A second look is all it took. Just too obvious I guess. 73s

It's kinda like when Bart made one of his prank calls to the pub and asked the barkeep to page Watana.
The keep came back and said, nope, no one here answered. So Bart said, call out his whole name...Watana Siam. So the barkeep did...several times..he he

I think the second lady with the shopping bags needs to qualify her question by further stating "press the correct one, please." Especially if she's surrounded by vacuous Canadians, which in this case I am certain that she is.

Sorry, my post may have had nothing to do with the message conveyed there. I'm just in a really foul mood when I opened up nealenews and was greeted with that headline first thing today...

arg. Count me in with Marcus. Second man down.

In the Globe today, John Ibbitson made the point in his Globe column today that it is in the Liberal's broad interest to keep this debate going. Even if it alienates some semi-influential Liberal MPs.

Also, new Decima poll released today.

Lib 37%
Con 23%
NDP 21%

The poll also shows the Tories falling to 3rd place behind the NDP in Ontario. I wonder if the Liberals will be the ones wanting to engineer a defeat of the government to call a snap election.

Kate likes to read this stuff naked. It might help.

Posted by: Diana at June 8, 2005 4:22 PM

For those that don't get it, it's about simple acceptance... accepting your position without challange... I think the woman with the bags was probably an American.

Relevancy? Who cares. A marvellous poem by F.R. Scott:

"W.L.M.K.

How shall we speak of Canada,
Mackenzie King dead?
The Mother's boy in the lonely room
With his dog, his medium and his ruins?

He blunted us.

We had no shape
Because he never took sides,
And no sides
Because he never allowed them to take shape.

He skilfully avoided what was wrong
Without saying what was right,
And never let his on the one hand
Know what his on the other hand was doing.

The height of his ambition
Was to pile a Parliamentary Committee on a Royal Commission,
To have "conscription if necessary
But not necessarily conscription,"
To let Parliament decide--
Later.

Postpone, postpone, abstain.

Only one thread was certain:
After World War I
Business as usual,
After World War II
Oderly decontrol.
Always he led us back to where we were before.

He seemed to be in the centre
Because we had no centre,
No vision
To pierce the smoke-screen of his politics.

Truly he will be remembered
Wherever men honour ingenuity,
Ambiguity, inactivity, and political longevity.

Let us raise up a temple
To the cult of mediocrity,
Do nothing by halves
Which can be done by quarters."

Of Paul Martin one might write:

"Do nothing by halves
Which can be done by billions."

Looks like I'm going to have to get more Canada-centric in my guest posts...

Posted by: Jeff G at June 8, 2005 4:49 PM

Not necessary, Jeff- us middle of the road Canukistanians did't get this way by accident- just don't mention sex/politics/ religion in the same sentence, and you won't upset any of us.

Brilliant !

Doesn't belong here, but I have to say it.

If I hear Jack Layton say one more time "what Canadians want", I think my fucking head will explode. Get this Jack, you represent a party with only 19 seats in the House. You barely speak for more than just the southern Ontario labour movement, let alone "all Canadians". (how ironic that your budget will directly contribute to auto sector layoffs) Your party is the only reason a corrupt, amoral and divided federal government continues to tread water.

You cannot provide an answer to Don Newman when asked how you will stop the corporate tax cuts from being split off into a new bill and passed by the Libs and Conservatives. You cannot explain where the *directed spending priorities* are for your $5B napkin budget. "Education affordable housing and environment" doesn't fucking cut it. We are in a major scandal *precisely because* of lax spending priorities and controls, and you want cabinet discretion to control this new spending?

You may be right, maybe you know "what Canadians want". Well, maybe what Canadians residing in the 3 major urban corridors in a first past the post system want anyway. If the politics of gimme gimme are what we opt for, then the party's over.

Jeff has specific instructions to confuse you.

Think outside the blog.
