Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
Proverbs 10:14
The talking heads move and utter meaningless sounds. The papers contain words, but no longer relate a message. The vibes that usually resonate to the primeval mass of the Canadian Shield are muted and frighteningly are lately sometimes silent. The old sweats in the Tim Horton's are talking about children and the snow. The Oracle of Ottawa is alarmed. Something is wrong, the ever droning background buzz of the political beast has become all but silent. Has Jack Layton caused the clam to close, by identifying the young jihadists in the Prime Ministers Office? Has the pressure of suppression become so high that it is all about to blow?
There is only one solution. I must confer with the wise man. To Arnprior we must go to seek the real beat and blat of the condition of the Conservative Bund. Yes, having called first, my grand old Dad has agreed to allow me a brief audience on two conditions; (1) Medium coffee, double cream, (2) No big words. Done and done... The trip is about a half an hour and is always relaxing. Five minutes past the Carleton Place exit lay the Canada as it looked more or less before any of us Gringo's got here. The rock cuts tell their story of eons of geologic time and appear to mock you in their proud and silent insolence. You are but an evolutionary joke and our scarring of the environment is a mere cosmic ball scratch followed by a disappointing fart.
Upon arrival the wife an I are escorted to the Privy Council Chamber of the Ottawa Valley, the back room off the kitchen. Greetings and niceties are exchanged. It is Roll up The Rim To Win time in Canada. My august Dad fix's me in his sights and asks; "Do you feel lucky son?"
" Well Dad, I haven't got that horse shoe up my arse surgically removed yet" I cockingly reply...
" Whats on your mind boy?" Which means cut to it or else....
" Well Dad, I was wondering.. Cheryl Gallant, how much is she going to win by in the next election?"
"She ain't! She's up for the jump!"
It doesn't happen often, but I was lost for words, I scanned the room to make sure I was in the right house...
" You mean to say she won't win?" I asked in my hopefully canceled mental stagger...
" The coffee circle at the Arnprior Mall has officially written her off.."
It is all but official now. the talking about politics goes on so long at the mall that new dentures start biting worse then a pinched larded arse in over stout Spandex..
"Well..who is going to replace her?, Who will you vote for?" I ask in now unfeigned shock...
" The NDP ran a nice candidate last time, I might part the heavens and give them a shot." he replied.
" Holy shit Dad! You have just made a huge leap in your political, sociological and ideological awareness!"
" Time to go boy... I just heard some big words..." he said sternly...
"Damn!!"
It is dark and black as oil thirty seconds outside of town. I am going over it all again and again in my mind. Yet I still can't reconcile the words to the message I have just received. This doesn't match the media view at all. Nothing makes sense, the whole world is going nuts...It's gonna be a wild year!
A tune from my miss spent but much enjoyed youth.....

Finding my Richard Nixon
" To Richard Milhous Nixon, who never let me down. "
Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt, Gonzo Papers Volume I, epigraph, p. 7
There are five qualities that I detest in men in public life; (1) Ugly, (2) Greasy, (3) Fat, (4) Stupid, and (5) Slow.
I will briefly discuss each in turn.
(1) Ugly. If the camera does not " love you" stay out of public life. Save and except elected positions such as; school board trustee and / or dog catcher. These are positions in which you will never be seen anyway. I, as a voter, citizen and tax payer want and expect the "Best and the Brightest". American goatee's on a Canadian man in public office is an absolute disaster. It looks like you were eating honey dipped donuts at the "y" in the men's locker room . (get it?...)
(2) Greasy. This is to be taken literally and figuratively. Don't over do the hair grease if you are of the male sex. It looks like someone has just "cum" in your hair and it is not too "fetchin'". Don't even think you can slide your hidden agenda past me...especially if my back is turned!
(3) Fat. In public life your appearance is everything! Don't gross me out! We own you! You work for me! Don't ever forget that, even if your from Cumberland or Centrepointe! When I see you in media, my first thought should not be of the movie Deliverance!
(4) Stupid. Don't do something just to get your face on / in the local small time media. The purpose of government is to facilitate not to constrict. How simple is that? If you have an overwhelming desire to stand in front of a TV camera for no particular reason save to embarrass yourself and in turn your constituents, resign and purchase an interest in a used car lot. Also be very careful who's Kool Aid your drinking. You are being closely observed...
(5) Slow. This describes any one that is thick enough not to understand the first four items just discussed!
There is one character or actor that I am thinking of here. I am giving you every opportunity to get your self together. If I see another performance such as the brief first one I saw in the week just past I will eat you alive! The pictures, tag lines, formats are all ready and standing by... Don't be my Richard Nixon.

Letter to Diane "Of Ottawa" Deans
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
Mark 15:24 (King James Version)
Dear Councillor:
Let it be known by one and all that the Oracle of Ottawa holds you in the highest regard, for your immediate questioning of allowing yet more gambling in our fine City. When I saw your clip on the local, old vulgar media, (CTV) I swear I could hear the groaning of every degenerate gambler and all the radio talk show hosts. But don't let them get you down. Perhaps at the next council meeting you could suggest to Gentleman Jim that he should heat the bus shelters in the Market so the addicts won't go to Hull to buy their crack! That will get you "exposure" for sure! But seriously....
The problem is, unfortunately, that gambling is legal and if it were not for it, certain ethnic and other groups, resident in the confines of our fair city would pay no tax's at all! No sense at the end of the day losing this rich stream of "derivative" tax revenue...to the "evil empire" (i.e. Quebec). And more importantly where would the City of Ottawa Tax Department hold their Christmas Party? The high life of Ottawa...Oy!
But I have a plan councillor! You could go along as you will be, no doubt, pressured to do so, but you could throw the spanner into the open gear box. (No I am not referring to Jan Hardon...) But rather for your vote on this you must have something in return. Perhaps a pilot project, study, feasibility study, why hell, all the above mentioned! What you ( I ) want is Thoroughbred Racing ( ! ) in Ottawa! Point out that the posh people of Ottawa want something in return for their amusement, if they are going to have to tolerate the skidmarks having their " Table Games" which 99% of them couldn't play if their meager lives depended on it!
Remind Gentleman Jim and your peers that the track (Rideau-Carleton) is presently located very close to an International Airport! And that the sport of horse racing is the Sport of Kings! (Pound your small but vital fist on the table at this point for emphasis....) And remind the council that if you thought you saw a lot of a certain ethnic group go nuts around a slot machine, just wait for the steady bottomless pocketed throngs that will show up for thoroughbred racing! You could research this yourself. Check out the attendance at a Hong Kong track!
Now of course you need an event, internationally sanctioned, for all those Arabian, Asian and European racing farms to load up their cargo aircraft, with their many mounts, to come to! May you suggest The Ottawa Derby that will be held on the Ontario Civic holiday? An annual event; of course! An event such as this will require an infield Queen of The Derby... Why I couldn't think of anyone better then the founder of this great International event than Diane "of Ottawa" Deans!....
Respectfully Yours;

No Format
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.
Karl Marx, "Theses on Feuerbach" (1845), Thesis 11, Marx Engels Selected Works,(MESW), Volume I, p. 15
What a run! Forty posts and the only problem is not starting, but stopping. I learned a few good tricks from a great writer and I'll share them with you later, possibly post one hundred... or not. When Karl Marx was writing notes in the British Library Reading Room (seat A1, I believe...) did he write out a format? I believe not.. If you can get a copy of the Grundrisse you can see that he was looking for signposts in the fog and six hundred pages later he started making them out.. The format boat will leave without me..
How are we to get the world we want? Are you satisfied with the way things are? I certainly am not. I feel that all the gains of my grandfather and my father are being quickly eroded away. Do you feel better off now than ten years ago? Didn't think so... It started as a lark about the Bilderberg Group, but the more I discover the more I am convinced our former way of life is under a very patient and very well financed attack. The future will be a cross between Brave New World and The Hand Maidens Tale... your daughters will carry " Baby Ports" not passports.. Wait for it. Maggy Atwood is Welsh and when they write or sing it behooves one to pay attention.

Letter to Richard Fadden
To trace the mischievous effects of a mutable government, would fill a volume.
James Madison, The Federalist, No.62
Dear Richard:
Well, I am hoping the smoke has cleared and the dust settled after your amazingly gutsy move to step up and let 'er rip on the CBC. Before I saw that interview, I had you guys written of as "spooks" and at best a necessary evil of a democratic society. Now I have changed my opinion, you are still "spooks", but an essential and very important evil! I am hoping that makes you feel somewhat better. If it has got so bad that you had to come out from behind the curtain I realized that the real problem is like an iceberg and there is over 85% of it way under water. Upon much thought I don't envy you Sir at all. Do you find yourself sitting at your office window at CSIS HQ late at night pondering the future of Canada. What a crushing load.
While watching the CBC interview I immediately remembered two examples of what you were talking about. Do you remember that Ottawa veteran who tried to install a flag pole on his lawn and couldn't do it because of all the zoning and other red-tape? I always think about this guy when I drive down Bronson Ave. and stop at the Somerset Street intersection and glance to see that Imperial Chinese welcome arch monstrosity. I am wondering how this got built on public property? It so reflects the ideals of Canadian multiculturalism and other aspects of the Canadian Constitution... Right out, it took a hell of a lot of pull and influence from the highest levels of some where.
It must also be admitted that I thought there was a degree of over reaction when you stepped up. But I have had to recently disavow myself of that, when I recently saw what you spoke of being carried out, rather blatantly, and only less than a kilometer from CSIS Headquarters! For more information on it see my post entitled " Memo From The Society Desk". It was so blatant and crass I still can't get over it.
Prophecy always sounds insane in the present. But there are threats among us, of us, that frighten me the most. They are two in number. The Bilderberg Group and the Christian Right. I suppose that the greatest threats are the things that your mandate does not cover. ( Perhaps there are links?) More sleepless nights are another thing you do not need. That the very class that should have the greatest interest in our society is actively plotting to subvert the gradually accumulated rights of us all... Well, enough of that!
It could only be in Canada that the head of the spy agency has the mindset and conviction of an eighteenth century Founding Father! And that, at the end of the day, is a well spent tax dollar.

HP Tablet, Tim's Finger Not Included?
A bad cause seldom fails to betray itself.
James Madison, The Federalist, No. 41
RE: Watch and Tell
Hewlett-Packard is (was?) a great American company. I have been using their products for over thirty years. I still have an HP-11C and an HP-12C always very near by. As a matter of fact you'll have to pry them from my cold, dead hand. I remember the first advanced calculators they brought out and how popular they were. I remember using the HP-48 with the slip in cards. Back then all HP calculators had the RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), you had to be smarter than a skidmark to use them. And in college and in the field I never tired of the look on the competitions face when you whipped out you HP and utterly ripped off the answer before the other turkey even hit the On switch! That is the HP legend.
Well fast forward to today. On Saturday February 19, 2011, while watching the BBC show Click I witnessed great damage to the HP Brand. The host was talking on the latest tablets coming to market at some trade show. (eWeekEurope?) He went through a whole bunch of the other brands and then at the end, got to
the latest HP Tablet. But when he went to demonstrate it, he wasn't allowed to touch it! That was done by Tim's finger! No I am not making this up! So the presenter talked through the features and Tim's finger did the actions, so that the presenter wouldn't "break it!". (First thought; How shakey is webOS?)
How much shareholder equity just evaporated from this screw-up? What fat little shit with a MBA in marketing and I'll bet the grotty little "american goatee", even allowed this unready product to be seen at this show? All that the whole exercise proved is that Google Chrome, and most everybody else, totally has your ragged butts DOMINATED!
Breathe deeply, don't get angry. You will surely frighten someone, probably the little jacky fat shit with the MBA in marketing, that is surely going to go on and totally destroy Hewlett-Packard.....At this point the story of Hewlett and Packard starting in the garage...is met by startled faces, the gibberish of an old man. What Company as large as HP ever started in a garage? And Jesus reached for his Ibogaine.
Tim's(?) fingers demonstrating some new HP tablet running the webOS; DON'T TOUCH IT!!!

Paradox of the Rate
It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expence, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations..., Book V, Chapter II, Part II, Article I, p. 911
It is with increasing consternation that I and you, have to deal with the logic of the Conservative Party of Canada Bund in respect to further lowering of corporate tax rates. If you are presently alive and breathing on your own, and have the luxury of an I. Q. greater than a houseplant, you are aware of the presence of corporations in your everyday life. A corporation is essentially a legal person created to pool capital for ventures while protecting the investors with something called; limited liability. Or the great deal of putting up money, and not having to worry about being called on to pay way more in the future, like could possibly happen in the nightmare scenario of a proprietorship. I don't want get too deep into this here and now. But the creation of the modern day corporation as we know it today is a very interesting story. A really great little book that will bring you up to speed real quick is; " The Company" - A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea. By; John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge.
Now today there are thousands of listed corporations. You and (for sure) I can buy shares or essentially pieces of ownership in the entity we are interested in. Great idea all around isn't it? There are as a rule of thumb i.e the rule I use to select company shares to buy and hold for eventual profit is that there are essentially three kinds of companies. Growth companies, think RIM and APPLE. Value companies, think Trans Canada Pipe and Russell Metals. Then there are all the rest...or known in the business as commodity plays. For example an airline is a commodity business. You can choose from a score of the damn dogs to take you where you want to go. Essentially a crummy business, throat cutting competition, high constant risks.. nothing but more of the same to look forward to in the future.... (But air freight! Can be a hell of good ride...)
As you are no doubt aware, there are good corporations that you never even hear about and there are,truly are, bad corporations that are in the news darn near all the time. When I was a just a little kid in the 1960's the corporate tax rate in Canada was 40%. There seemed to be corporations all over the place even then! I can't seem to recall any leaving the calm and stability of Canada because the corporate tax rate was to high!
As the Tory's continue to lower the corporate tax rate ever lower, which companies do you think in the future will find Canada attractive? Oh you in the back! Your sharp! You are going to have a skidmark flood of companies like "Acme Lead and Acid" or "Gimcrack Radioactive Undisposable Waste Inc." It will be a freaking NIGHTMARE!! That is the paradox of low corporate rates! Meanwhile as this is happening, all the posh outfits, like the drug companies and the cutting edge manufacturers, will be heading to the European Union! To the high tax rates and the golden stability found therein.
The argument that the Tory's give to you and I is the cover story. The cover story hides the hidden agenda. The hidden agenda is to reduce all the social treasures of Canada to a memory. The ultimate goal is to convert Canada to a social penal colony. (Co-ordination by the Bilderberg Group.) I am deadly serious folks. If you want the society you dream of with all the best companies beating at the doors to get in, put the corporate tax rate back to 40% !
See! I am not the only one upset with wee Jimmy.....

Letter to Dalton McGuinty
The tolls for the maintenance of a high road, cannot with any safety be made the property of private persons.
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations,
Book V, Chapter I, Part III, Article I, pg.786 (See also.. Public-private partnerships..)
Dear Dalton;
Ministerial?! Good God man, lately you look more Royal then Prince William! All of us in Ottawa South, when we see you on television, feel pretty smug. I don't know how Tim Hudak even gets up in the morning, let alone face you in the House as a viable alternative. Its a lot like watching a tea spoon follow a steam shovel.
 |
| Premier Dalton McGuinty |
Dalton, you have done everything as right as could be done. You have given the the vulgar capitalist business types every benefit of the doubt. It is time to slam the door, hard, on their nuts and good! I am not too crazy about the internet reading my power-meter... But you made the best decision you could. And I think there might be an out soon. But the fact that the Toronto Stock Exchange is going off shore is just too much! The dissing of Minister Duncan by the fart catcher for the London Stock Exchange was the last straw! And the fact that it is an "all stock" deal really has my Bullshit Detector on Red Alert!

And where the Hell is Quebec? They have as much to lose, maybe more, then us here in Ontario... But a moments thought gave me the answer. Bonhomme got another Samsonite briefcase full of ... well you know....And where are the Albertans? Do they really think that the $1,000,000 stock issue is going to be possible after the LSX takes over? It is proof that you are the only Provincial Premier in Canada right now that has his head outside his ass! And what the hell is wee Jimmy Flarhety doing spinning in a circle like a Tory with one foot nailed to the floor screaming "Don't interfere in the markets?" Bizarre business...
Put the nuts to this Dalton! Kill it deader than a Tory candidate in Ottawa South after Election Day! Enough is enough. It will be great for this Fall won't it? You could quote James Joyce; " My one eyed mongrel, twice run over!"

Letter to Warren Buffett
Platitudes are safe, because they're easy to wink at, but truth is something else again.
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway, Letter to William J. Kennedy, October 29, 1959, p. 192
Dear Mr. Buffettt;
First, I would like to congratulate on your recent vestment with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I caught it on the BBC, and the only question in my mind was, what took so long? I figure you should have won it during the Clinton administration! I have been meaning to write for the longest time just to say thanks for being so free with your methods and being so candid with your investment experiences both good and bad. Your methods work pretty good....
I am hoping that this letter will be brought to your attention somehow in a lag to your busy schedule. Maybe you will be at home while the " Indefensible " is in for it's 10,000 hour overhaul. I am sure you have heard about the Borders Group Chapter 11 filing. Since you made a lot of money reading and sitting over the years, which is really good advice, I am hoping you see a profitable "workout" here. We are figuring if you could breathe life into those New York banks, Borders would be a walk in the park!
The brand factor alone here is awesome. It is a boring business and should be. From what little I know it just appears a few bad but recoverable mistakes have been made. Also I can't help but think that there are hidden real estate assets all over the place. Another reason I am bringing this up is that there is no competition to Amazon in Canada and the United States.
Also, if you decide to beat this dog into shape, there is a whole country north of you that is just thirsting for some more choice. We have only one major book retailer in Canada; Chapters. As far as I can tell it is a total monopoly. If any one has the power to deal with the red tape of Heritage Canada you are it. And the requirements that they would ask are not very onerous. Stock Canadian magazines and some defined space to Canadian publishers, the usual stuff. Aside from that you could literally transplant an American Borders to Canada and I am pretty sure it would fly. Also there would be a ton of tax write-offs in the United States and Canada. ( Woo-Hoo!!)
But I must be realistic, a work-out of only $1.2 billion is hardly worth your attention. Its just that you have had so much success with print and media in the past I just had to try and get this by you. In closing I hope you, Astrid and the kids are fine.
All The Best;

It is never wasted time to listen, when this man is talking.....

E-Book Readers, A Bilderberg Group Conspiracy?
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Revelation 10:10
Have you tried reading a " E-book reader" ? It is readable for a short period of time. But I can't read as long on it as a I can a printed book. In Canada they are available from the one and only book seller left. And the owner of that entity is a Bilderberg Group member! Fancy that coincidence! In the United States they are available from one large online retailer. First guess won't count.....Hmmm... Why do you think they are trying so hard for you to give up the printed word?
There are some groups of people in this world right now, as we live and breathe, that want to take us back before the time of Karl Marx...They want to make the world a flat paying field.. The only thing they aren't telling you is that they don't want the Third World to eventually match the First World ! They want to reduce the First World to the Third World!
You have to load an E-book reader from a USB port right? How easy would it be for that Bildeberg Group lackey to sell you an E- book with a cleaning virus that would clean all those knotty books from your E-reader. Like that copy of Mein Kampf you downloaded from the internet for no cost.. Or / and the complete works of Marx and Engels... I could go on but I don't want to upset you...
In reality as in all evil schemes, the blow back will come and it will be surprisingly severe and completely unexpected. The E-book reader will eventually create a more intense demand for printed books, and especially, ironically, rare books and Modern First Editions.... Believe me, life works out like that in the end every freaking time.....

Letter to FIFA
The means to be employed, must be proportioned to the extent of the mischief.
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, No. 28
RE: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada bid for woman's soccer tournament.
Dear Sepp Blatter;
The "Burgers" of the City of Ottawa have recently voted to allocate $400,000.00 for the purpose of securing the right to host some future woman's soccer thingy in the not too near future. Many people in Ottawa do not wish to host such an event in our fine city. Could you please take the money and give the promise as you did with England for the world cup and then please make sure that Ottawa does not get it. A large number of the citizens of the this fine City would be much happier if a more suitable location could be found, such as Africa or the highest bidder in the Gulf Emirates....
You see sir, Canada has a very high rating of not being a corrupt country. A large number of citizens of the City of Ottawa do not wish to lower our standing in the world by being associated with anything FIFA...
Also Canada is a very young and yet primitive country, the wilderness is barely tamed don't you know! I will list the dangerous animals that pervade the city of Ottawa in the summer months. Also Ottawa can be hotter then Dubai in August. Just thought you should know that!
This things are loaded with wicked quills, that when attached to flesh continue to dig in. They have a penchant for soccer pitch's and players.
Now the bears don't usually get this big in Ottawa. But this is a picture of one just after a national soccer tournament. The pickings were pretty good!
We thought that these nasty monsters were gone! But recently they have been seen on the edge of Ottawa at the side of the free-way, waiting for stranded motorists to get out of their cars! Our conservation efforts have really paid off, haven't they? And as you can see they are man-eaters... They can be eight feet long from nose to tail.
The wolf is still very common just outside Ottawa especially in the summer months. Huge packs of them! Again the picture of this one is very large, and has just finished eating a junior soccer player. They cut a deal with the bears at that last tournament as mentioned above.... Crafty bastards aren't they?
Now I must warn you about the several water Hazards we have every where in Canada! This muskie just attacked out of a city sewer! They are from the time of the dinosaurs and never heard they were extinct. They will eat anything....
As You know Sepp, Great Whites can live in fresh water if the human pickings are really good! They simply come up the St. Lawerence and turn right at Montreal. This one was photographed very near the soccer fields!
I can't even talk about this Monster, again from the age of the dinosaurs, practically every where in Canada. They are as big as a standard European city bus! Really....
Now Sepp there will be other problems having any sanctioned FIFA event in Ottawa. Canada is a very liberal country. Like Holland! This will shock all the Islamic participants deeply. For example;
So you see Sepp old boy it just wont work out. And I was so looking forward to the Islamic Field Gear fashion show sooo much...
So have fun in the hell holes... er a... the Gulf or Africa.....whatever...

You are all powerful
To form a safe and satisfactory judgement of the proper remedy, it is absolutely necessary that we should be well acquainted with the extent and malignity of the disease.
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, No. 21
Why is it that when you open any introductory economics text-book you can discover that the biggest part of the economy is the total purchases of private households, but when you ask anyone what the biggest part of the economy is you always hear " the government" ?
Why do people put up with the abuse they get at airports? My traveling days are long over. I will just not submit myself to meat inspection just to fly. Nor will I allow an invasion of privacy by getting the whatever-its-called quick boarding card. I am just puked when the Canadian Minister of Transport spews about how this is so important for my security, and yours! You can rest assured that the good minister does not fly like you...
While your your getting your junk patted down and the second titty rub, the good minister is already boarded and enjoying his second Bloody Mary, non-alcoholic of course.
Karl Marx often went on about how the workers would only get a fair shake when they owned the means of production. Hmmm. Ponder this; the Bank of Nova Scotia has 77,210 employees as of 2010. The bank has 612 million common shares. There are only 259 major shareholders!? Institutions own over 56% of the outstanding common stock. For the employees to give everybody a shock at a future annual shareholders meeting, how many shares would each employee have to own? This is a "Cadillac" case. Can you think of a company that has a very large number of well payed employees and a very undervalued stock? Interesting isn't it?
My friend Karl Marx has come by to tuck you in....

Memo from The Society Desk
It's amazing how much you can get away with if you don't go out of your way to cause trouble...
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway, Letter to Dale, July 06, 1976, p. 628
Well it started out like any other day. Saint Valentines Day is coming and my " significant other " being very French expects a trip out for dinner. And she also expects at least a card, even if it is hand made with Crayolla crayons! After a nearly quarter century, you learn not to argue! To beat the insane rush of the actual day I have found over the years that the day before is perfectly acceptable. (Sunday February 13 2011) So it was off to the Mandarin Restaurant on 1137 Ogilvie Road. One of the best Chinese eatery's in the City of Ottawa. The parking lot was empty when we arrived. Most excellent! I am a genius! We were seated, and it was the usual crowd mix.
Coffee was quick to come, and the order was in. Ah, a nice quiet evening of most excellent eating.... Then they started coming! (17:45) A half dozen to a dozen at a time! Damn! A bus load! The Chinese Lutherans for Jesus! It really screws up the kitchen. and the rice quality can be affected as they water it down if they see they are, or may possibly run out. Damn I hate that!
I asked the waitress what the hell was going on? She replied; " private function in dining room, Canada - China Friendship Society". Then it all started getting really weird! There were the Gajun old white guys in there Imperial Dragon silk shirts! Then the Chinese guys dressed like characters in a Chinese Opera! Then when the comely Chinese honey's in the long silk faux imperial gowns with the side slit up to their arse I figured something really weird is on here! Complete with do-me heels, oozing whatever...complete with huggies! The old gajuns with advanced ricer obsession were coming back for seconds and thirds! There is nothing as disgusting to watch as a an old gajun with advanced ricer obsession! Like a head on an ether binge....
Then just as I thought I was going to be consumed by the vortex of the contemporary Canadian Dream, the exhaust fan gave out in the kitchen! Filling the place with invisible Imperial Royal Duck smoke! They caught it in time.. And the Haz-mat unit was not called...
Just when I thought this couldn't get any weirder, in walks Gentleman Jim Watson !? Then outcomes this simply stunning true petite honey in the most bitching red silk outfit I have ever seen (so far...). She assumed station, I mean never more than nine feet away like a magnet! Then I realized that there were a whole bunch of minor notables, and a great selection of fart catching want-to-bees. The optics of all this was not good. Where was the old style media? Where was this elected officials entourage? But who was that official looking Chinese guy in the dining room? Complete with the big haired protocol thingy... Some what familiar looking. I had a hunch but I had to wait till I got home to check it out...
Then came the white rich middle aged women, way over dressed and trying way too hard! That is pathetic to see also folks... Meanwhile at a table near mine were the classic pimp and Ho combination... all Chinese ... Hmmm.... Then the Bar Haven "want a be" set came in their nike running shoes and Blackberry's I guess hoping for crumbs of business off of the Great Yellow Table.... (Bar Haven types couldn't find China on a map with a tutor!)
My fortune cookie was really different; "You may attend a party where strange customs prevail" No shit!
Latter arriving at home I checked Google and identified the very official Chinese guy...Are you sitting down? Zhang Junsai, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Canada! Although all Chinese look the same to me, the tier 1 guys sort of really stand out....Of course I could be totally mistaken and the victim of incredible coincidences...of likenesses...Ya right, that's it....
After what I may have witnessed tonight, I have a much greater respect for this man. Perhaps you should to!
Richard Fadden must have balls as big as bridge nuts! What guts!

The Winterlewd Massacre
Ottawa, the town that fun forgot.
Allan Fotheringham, Fotheringham's Fictionary, p. 221
Memo from the Sports Desk:
Ottawa, sadly, is a small town in more respects then one. It will not be often that the Oracle of Ottawa will comment on childrens games played by men. If you have grown up in Canada and are over fifty years old you know by now that hockey is disgusting and depraved. The chance that your kid will play in the NHL is less, much less then 1 : 100,000. If your kid at thirteen has a hat size greater then 5 1/2 get him in the chess club! Cause he ain't gonna be a hero or an NHL hockey player! Give thanks to your God.
Here in Ottawa we are about half way through Winterlude. The big winter festival worked on all year by practically all "n" levels of government. And it does not humm along all year, but rather gnashes to the finish line each year. The only reason it gets across the finish line is that one percenter employee that carries the whole damn rotten works. Hardly surprising if you have lived here most all your life.
The recent news of the Ottawa Senators pulling the huge and insane trade of Mike Fisher to Nashville in the middle of Winterlude proves my point of the gnashing theory...The Ottawa Senator Brain Trust had more than enough time, according to local media, to hold off the trade, maybe even shop it out some more, and do it after Winterlude ends! But no sports fan the gnashing continues... or rather, to use local media wording, the deconstruction continues.
An NHL franchise, even in a small market, is a lot like a beef feed lot operation or a horse stud farm. You don't trade off your best stud(s) whenever your shorts bind! Mike fisher has played all his 55 games this year so far! He has scored 14 - 15 goals, right on track! What is really going on here? Mike Fisher and the wife, Carrie Underwood are freaking Ottawa Royalty, ask anyone in Ottawa. They are loved.
Who is going all the way to the Stanley Cup this year? Nashville! If your a betting person you know about "long props" At the end of last years Stanley Cup the numbers go up at all the big Vegas sport books for next years winner. There is no doubt in this reporters mind that Nashville's number just got a lot smaller and Ottawas got a lot larger! As of late last week many credit cards in Ottawa just got maxed out on the long props in several Vegas sport books.
Its a lock! Mike and the wife will now have more time for "married relations" in that big four poster bed with Carrie singing "I Gotta Be Me ! " at the top of her lungs. I see dynasty! And I wish I was joking, but I am not.
The real problem in Bytown folks, is management! The guy they should have gotten rid of along time ago is the seedy old guy with that creepy lisp!
The real problem with Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood is youth and beauty. Management can't remember their youth and they never had beauty.! Mike and Carrie's only sin is that they totally outclassed management and in Ottawa that is certain death.
This video reminds me of Mike and Carrie, a real true couple, management in Ottawa hates that!
Enjoy!

Trepidation and Rapine In Toronto
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12, New King James Version
The fear descended upon me right away... when I first saw the banner run with the message that the London Stock Exchange had announced a " Merger of Equals " with the Toronto Stock Exchange. The first thought that I remember going through my addled brain was; AOL... Ye gods! The Horror.. The Horror! The Bilderberg Group master game plan is right on schedule! And even more frightening is that it is an "all stock" merger! The LSE must have a ton of " off the book " derivative sludge coursing through God knows how many shells and dubious off-shore partner ships and the only thing that can save it all is a trans-oceanic Hail Mary pass to Hog Town in the old Colonies! It only has to hold up until the day after the deal is signed.. And then who cares about the price of the stock? The magic of IAAP... Woo - Hoo!!
Any hope of a National Securities Regulator are now gone and mute. If this goes through we will have essentially no regulation what so ever! How can you regulate an entity, where the decisions, for sure and certain, will be made outside of your Sovereign jurisdiction? Quebec and Alberta take note! The Bay Street boys have executed the perfect end run! There will be much back-slapping and prayer circles at the next Bilderberg orgy, mark my words! A major step to converting Canada to an offshore globalized penal colony, to be known as PC-Can or simply pecan....is an the edge of completion! Chapters will hold a chain wide sale of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations along with a Marx, Engels and Galbraith book-burning on Canada Day!
(Bring your own Flag and burn cream...) Buy Three books and get a free Heathers pick! ( Not of Your choice of course...some restrictions apply...)
Trading will become cheaper... Really! Oh please, don't even try to run that tickle and jerk on me again! Trading most certainly, and especially, for the less then Warren Buffet sized accounts, will become certainly more expensive. I mean where else are ya' gonna go sucker? Will I be able to buy from the LSE list once this goes down? Hell no fool! How are you you poor bastards in Alberta going to get a wild cat first issue like the old days? Who do you think is going to freeze in the dark after this goes down? Every one will be fellating Russian Oligarchs and Euro-Thrash for "Venture money" I don't see that going over too good on the West coast.... unless of course you guy's have come to like that kind of thing... And well, you have to admit it would be better than crawling at Kevin O'Leary's feet on the CBC... Hmmm....
Now the Tory's will keep lowering the corporate tax rates and Canada will be able to compete with the rest of the world. Why in ten years Toronto will look like Kabul! Just higher and taller with better diction! Oh, the great days to come.... Gotta stop now, my Captain Canada cape just got caught in the space bar....
In closing, a tune for the brain-trust at The TSX Group... Enjoy!
Ephesians 6:12, New King James Version
The fear descended upon me right away... when I first saw the banner run with the message that the London Stock Exchange had announced a " Merger of Equals " with the Toronto Stock Exchange. The first thought that I remember going through my addled brain was; AOL... Ye gods! The Horror.. The Horror! The Bilderberg Group master game plan is right on schedule! And even more frightening is that it is an "all stock" merger! The LSE must have a ton of " off the book " derivative sludge coursing through God knows how many shells and dubious off-shore partner ships and the only thing that can save it all is a trans-oceanic Hail Mary pass to Hog Town in the old Colonies! It only has to hold up until the day after the deal is signed.. And then who cares about the price of the stock? The magic of IAAP... Woo - Hoo!!

Justin Bieber and the End of Civilization
Acts like that don't last twenty-five, thirty years....
Burton Cummings, CBC interview; The Red Chair...on Justin Beiber
How high can it go? How good can it get? I should be overjoyed that a fellow Canadian ranks 29th out of the 3.5 million articles now on Wikipedia. But I think of all the truly great Canadians that have contributed immeasurably more to not just Canada, but Western Civilization! And who rank so much lower and are all but forgotten...
One can't help thinking about Karl Marx, several quotes come to mind. But enough of that! Then I think of all the great music acts that lasted so long and are so much more talented. Gordon Lightfoot, Rush, and Stompin' Tom Connors! Are the first to come to mind. There are so many more for sure. See the video by Bill Hicks at the end of the second blog post for an explanation of this weird effect.....
It must be the end times! I am hoping that the world will end in 2012! Baby oh Baby oh, oh, Baby.....One day you and I will be driving down the freeway or more likely sitting in a traffic jam on the freeway when the Elect will be called to heaven! In a flash the world will be short 120,000 republicans! Did you know that God is on Facebook? Yes sir. Secret account and password only! Why the Oracleofottawa is one of Gods BFF's!
And the Ultimate Man has confided in the Oracleofottawa that the reward of the Elect is to enjoy a Justin Beiber concert forever! Now that's heaven!
Does anybody remember Tom Greene? He was damn near as huge, for a brief shining moment. He was from Ottawa. Did you know that? But the great United States provided all of us in Ottawa with relief by taking him in as an American citizen. Our Great Friends to the south saved us again! And we Thank You! I remember one time years ago when ole Toms wave had just peaked, but he had not been informed about it yet... It was at St. Laurent Shopping Centre and Tom Greene was strolling with a Body-Guard / Fart Catcher! Expecting to be mobbed by the un-washed! As he was strolling down the mall he was acting like a Force Field! People were literally running away to avoid him! It was pretty sad to witness. The performing arts are a Killer! Lock up your sons and daughters!
Why is it the so called "Nanny States" (i.e. Denmark et al) seem to produce people like this, and capitalist societies produce Vanilla Ice ? " If production is capitalistic, so to will be..." Hmmm....

Letter to David McGuinty
Impressions of this kind will naturally indicate the policy of fostering divisions among us, and depriving us, as far as possible, of an ACTIVE COMMERCE in our own bottoms.
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, No. 11
Dear David:
The wife just came back from the mother-in-laws and told me that the lights are on at the Tory War Room, but the parking lot is empty. There will be possibly an election very soon. Also, wee Jimmy Flaherty, the fiscal midget, is tearing around Canada like a leprechaun on PCP, skittering about madly in Steve Harper's ideological Peace Tower belfry. Apocalyptical business... The Writ is slowly fluttering to the ground..
The wife and I always keep an eye out for you on the TV. You are so good on your feet now. The one good thing about living in Ottawa South is that we have always had excellent representation at the federal and provincial levels. Keep reading Cicero's Orations. You can't talk like him in a modern court, but you can use that old roman style in parliament and it makes for great footage... It has been great to watch you grow and do so well.
I had a few more pleasant paragraphs planned but as you know how events take over and other things must be addressed right now. The news that broke at the market close in Toronto that the London Stock Exchange (FTSE) wants to acquire the Toronto Stock Exchange (TMX)! A merger of equals! I am sure you heard that one before, I have and it never ends well. My biggest worry about this is the influence of Russian Oligarch gangsters and that influence coming to Canada under the guise of a corporate merger. Call CSIS and demand a briefing, I am not sure, but I believe they have to send somebody when you call them... Surely to God we can afford to own our own stock-exchanges? The whole thing has given me the Fear! Idea! What better way to have National Securities Regulation then to have the Government of Canada owning the stock-exchanges!
Run with that gibberish Dave! It will give you leverage and much video time! Well it is a cold winters night, and all the other subjects I wanted to mention pale in importance to this latest run at Canada. When things settle (or not) I will write again.. The voters in Ottawa South got your back Dawg!
Until then..
Oracleofottawa
P.S. Ever since I started this stupid literary experiment, people have been slipping brown envelopes under the door to my fortified compound... And I have just learned about the Tory's next election theme song. I have attached it, but I don't know what to think!
