Pigs Fly In Muskoka

I didn't feel the need to have a lot of yes-men standing around me. As Mitchell Sharp once put it, the bigger the staff, the smaller the minister.
Jean Chretien, My Years As Prime Minister, p. 38

No rant today. In its place I will provide some observations from today's Question Period. The Oracle of Ottawa has noticed that the crop of newbies mixed with the old seasoned hands has provided observations that are begging to be made...And the paradox of the chiseling of the Conservatives on you and I while they are deploying the largest cabinet in history!

James Moore, a sad tragic waste of a Liberal

First up was James Moore, looking totally on the wrong side of the House in his dapper red Liberal tie! And no James, it doesn't make you look fat...The poor bastard had to try and tap dance through the fact that his budgets are being cut up to 35% at Heritage Canada to the shouted observations that that money is being redeployed to the new super-max prisons...Why, that is to build the Canada we all dream of...

Alexandre Boulerice and the lads did a most excellent pile on to Two-Tier Tony Clement! Why the lads were so together that the pig eyes of John Baird recessed even farther into his skull as he rose to fight Tony's battles. One astute seasoned  Scotsman, Charlie Angus I believe,  from the NDP mentioned something to the effect that it was raining pork in Muskoka! Yes, last summer the pigs did fly in Muskoka, didn't they? The shiny sheen of weasel sweat broke out on Tony "Two Teir" Clement and remained for the rest of Question Period...The John Baird lisp makes my skin crawl, but I continued to watch, fighting the gag reflex, this is for Canada after all!

Charlie Angus, a great future, deadly on his feet...

Of course we got to see  the Minister of Labour tap dance on the subject of those nasty strikes ongoing. The self thought slick Lisa Raitt said that the disputes should be left to take care of themselves. But on the six o'clock news that had somehow changed to back to work legislation... The strike at Air Canada is not even a day old! Of course organized labour's right to strike is under no threat at all is it?

It was a laugh a minute folks as the Minister of Indian Affairs (John Duncan) stood up in the House and admitted right out that yes the RCMP and CSIS were staking out any signs of evil doing. If you are in a band office, check the flower pots Chief!! And remember! Walk and talk - outside!!

Egyptian die, 600-800 B.C.

On a very sad and depressing note, the Oracle of Ottawa noticed the bitter visage of the Pembroke hottie Cheryl Gallant sullen in her seat, passed over again for cabinet. It appears that she has acquired the Krista Erickson look straight out of Sun News TV wardrobe and all! This should be exploited by the opposition! You just don't know what will puke out of her trap of a yap.. Always worth a shot!

The high light of today's Question period was the Maiden Question of Ruth Ellen Vegas Brosseau! I gotta hand to the NDP fart catcher contractors and trainers! I didn't recognize her! And damn, she is a Babe! But the Oracle of Ottawa knew he was witnessing History. That magic moment, when it was show time, and she stood to her feet and seemed to grow at least six inch's, the look on her faced changed, it was Magic! She realized it was time to really Roll'em for real and forever...We all witnessed the birth of a politician.

 Rock on kitties....
