Lewis H. Lapham, Money And Class In America, Chapter 3, p. 59
One good thing about Sun News TV is that they never let the facts get in the way of a poor story. It was sometime on Tuesday afternoon and the big news was that 24 people at Public Works lost their jobs! We are well on the way to paying off the deficit! Oh man, and then the wailing really started! The incredible size of the civil service, it being beyond control! The astounding number of civil servants must be reduced, must be cut. I swear I could hear the long lost wail of Preston Manning, eeee-limmmm-aaannnn-ateee the deficit!
Well the Oracle of Ottawa perked up, perhaps the hapless hack of a guest had information, that the Oracle of Ottawa was not privy to! I must cover this breaking story like the Mint 400! But alas Dear Reader there was no new information! The guest haplessly babbled that there are over 420,000 civil servants in Canada! Now that includes everyone drawing a Federal pay cheque. From the Governor General down to the newest, ugliest, penis headed, private in boot camp of the Canadian Forces! Let us put that in perspective. There are at this very moment, about 35,000,000 Canadians. So 420,000 divided by 35,000,000, times one hundred, and that gives an astounding 1.20% of the Canadian population is involved in the administration and defense of the whole country of Canada!

Why if we keep up this pace, the great man Thomas Flanagan will be proved correct after all! We will not be able to decide anything, because there will be soon no one in charge! Sorry, as Prime Minister of Canada I regret to inform the Canadian people that I am going to have to fire myself.... God help us all! Good Night!! Of course this announcement will be done somewhere on the Sparks Street Mall on top of a wooden orange crate, as the former location of the Ottawa CBC is now a legalized rub parlour. And the door man looks really familiar! Hmmmm.....
Meanwhile in other news! It is with the deepest regret that the great man in the present form of Theo Caldwell, is being deleted from Wikipedia, under speedy deletion! " Due to web and article content that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject! " To add insult to injury, as to press time there have been no contests to this request. So I guess I was not the only one that thought... Breaking News! The 24 lost jobs at Public Works are now 12 lost jobs! Poor Krsita Erickson was so disappointed!
This is the way Liberty dies....
