'Harper Government' - Type IV - Terminal

Things on a very small scale behave like nothing that you have any direct experience about.
Richard P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume III, p. 1-1

Tonight Ottawa is a stinking roiling mess of shocked silence. You know it is worse than bad when in today's Question Period, John Baird, the bum boy of Foreign Affairs, was asking what time it was near the end of Question Period! Yes indeed, the sweat of the erstwhile Straussian, was dripping through the fat of his worthless body. Much to the Oracle of Ottawas surprise, Steve Harper did not stick around to hear the music play. He and his closet cronies scrambled to the jet that would remove them to somewhere in South America like a pack of rats scurrying across the tundra.

The very quantum fabric is rent..

 Although the talking heads of the old vulgar media are playing this as a crisis, you ain't heard nothing yet Dear Reader. At some point the connection of the Prime Ministers Office to the Bilderberg Group is going to come out. When that finally drops, it will be a royal scandal. When all the red meat, grass roots, conservatives find out that the 'Harper Government' is just a mere puppet for a secret society, that will be a scandal. Many old hands in Ottawa tonight are wondering about the present forward motion of Preston Manning's right wing revolution. It seems that the remainder of the Laurentian consensus has more life than the right wing wacko politico's thought.

But the saddest and yet most enjoyable events of the day were watching the shocked reactions of the green as grass conservatives, that thought Steve was better than all that, react. Some of them are just about sick to death. Wait for it. They are now discovering that their whole lives and political careers are nothing but a joke and a lie. The Oracle of Ottawa loves watching hicks hit the wall at a hundred miles an hour, and noting the splatter pattern.

In the near future you will soon see that some faces will be absent, and will not return. The names will shock you Dear Reader. The friends will desert, no one will come. Who could have imagined that the whole thing would be brought down by a spud headed skidmark from Prince Edward Island? Soon Marjory LeBreton will again be a high school drop out housewife in Barfhaven, free to spend less and live better at the local Wal-Mart, were she and John Baird will have coffee, with Little Polly Poilievre, Well at least on the days when they don't have certain appearances to make....

Alison Redford - A Monster Wrench In The Harper Gearbox!!

The idea, then, of causation must be deriv'd from some relation among objects; and that relation we must now endeavour to discover.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, p. 75

The sweat stains started to grow exponentially on the party dresses  from the Sun News TV skank locker and wardrobe, starting Friday morning last. As the Supreme Court of Canada decision on the legality of the Vancouver safe injection site was handed down. It was a total fail for the Conservative Party of Canada. The decision was unanimous; 9-0! Even the conservative justices stood to, and defended the Canadian Constitution! Pat Boland was really grossed out, not at the decision, but rather at that gross, quickly expanding sweat stain on his co-host, but with his usual grace and professional aplomb he marched through. Total class.

The Tory gear box....

Meanwhile in the House last week, the Conservatives omnibus crime bill was made to look pretty stupid. The bullshit  was overwhelmed by the facts as provided by the Opposition and mostly Joe Comartin. The recent release of Steven Pinkers latest book entitled; "The Better Angels of Our Nature: The Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes" is going to be pretty embarrassing to the Conservatives when those uppity young NDP types start quoting from it to Rob "The Knob" Nicholson...Not to mention the fact that Mr. Pinker is a fine lad that hails from Montreal... This could all get really embarrassing!
 
Then it was Sunday morning and I was tuning into the Sun News for the ever pleasant Brian Dunstan when I saw the tape at the bottom of the screen tell me that Alison Redford won the job for the head of the provincial Alberta Conservative Party!! Why she will be the Premier of Alberta! How did this happen? Well the Oracle of Ottawa will tell you... While the PMO was meddling and the old farts were playing "bigger dick", it seems that Alison scooped the unattended sack of nuts and scurried to the finish line in a doddle! I have provided a link to all her achievements, since they are too numerous to include in this post. Check it out, it is a most excellent CV!! Red Tory is an understatement! She is a good liberal in the great and classic tradition.
This of course will and already is sending shock waves through Ottawa! I was pretty sure I heard Steve screaming at 24 Sussex from my secure bunker in the South end of Ottawa!! And it is all only starting...

The Oracle of Ottawa can't tell you how the provincial election in Ontario is going to turn out, but I would bet that it is not going to be the Prime Ministers liking...And to have to deal with an Alberta Premier that totally out classes him and is way better looking will be toxic to all future endeavors...Who thought that things would get so interesting so fast?

Rob "The Knob" Nicholson should have talked to Professor Pinker first??

The 'Harper Government' Leans On Blogger

Behind their fluffy rhetoric about free trade and free markets lurks a hostility toward freedom for ordinary people - and a love affair with police and prisons.
David McNally, Another World Is Possible, p. 52 

It must be a great challenge to provide communication services to a political party that would rather have no need for any communications at all. On August 30, 2011 our fearless prime minister Steve Harper, (owned and paid for buy the Canadian people...) and his wife, clad no doubt in their best outfits from Walmart, dined with the United States ambassador to Canada David Jacobson and his Misses, Julie, at the ambassadors residence..(owned and paid for by the American people...) The dinner was prepared by Ottawa chef Steph Legari a barbecue specialist. Now the Oracle of Ottawa knows that Americans know their barbecue and for this Ottawa chef to cook for the United States Ambassador to Canada, well, you have 'arrived'.

Ambassador David Jacobson

Of course pictures were taken. The chef with the two "power couples". In Ottawa, pictures are taken to be seen! And the Oracle of Ottawa is pretty sure it was no skin off David Jacobsons back! Who ever heard of a nice Democrat that didn't like to get his picture taken, especially while having a good time? He appears in his photos and in his writings as one hell of a gregarious, warm guy. And he still hasn't stuffed even one of his feet in his mouth yet! Unlike the guy before him, that required a Marine 24/7 with a shoe horn. And that poor marine, as we all know in Ottawa, got lots of exercise with that shoe horn....

Resistance is Futile...

The chef passed the photos on to one Ron Eade food editor at the Ottawa Citizen. Being the craftsman that he is he posted the menu, the pictures, and no doubt a fine written description of the evening. Next thing you know Mr. Eade is being contacted by one Andrew MacDougall from the Prime Ministers Office with a rather firm request for the said journalist to kindly remove the blog post! Well of course that did not happen. And one can only hope that the said actor from the PMO will shortly have a one way ticket to Ducks Ass Alberta from whence he no doubt came.

As this story hit the front page of the Thursday Ottawa Citizen one can safely surmise that there is one very pissed American Ambassador! And he has every right to be miffed! And the Canadian people should be miffed also! We to have been severely dissed by this also.This simply does not reflect the character of the Canadian people at any time!!

Of course the golden age for food and social editors in Ottawa were the Trudeau years! Woo Hoo! If there was a spread anywhere and the pictures and story was not in the next days paper someone from the PMO had some serious 'splaining to do the next day! But alas, the Oracle of Ottawa is confusing yesterday with today again, sigh....

See? Wasn't telling a lie. Now we all know that this man has a job to do, but the Ambassador is a hell of a decent, thoughtful and respectful guy. I wonder how many pictures were taken at this barbecue??

The Tory's Write My Blog

When his companions wished to return to their country, and asked him what message he wished them to carry home, he bade them say this: that children ought to be provided with property and resources of a kind that could swim with them even out of a shipwreck.
Vitruvius, The Ten Books On Architecture, Book VI, Introduction,  Sec. 1

Well dear reader, it seems that the greatest gig of pallbearing in Canadian political history is about to come to  a very quick "end".  This was going to be a little piece on the yield-curve, of all the boring things to talk about! But  as per usual, as I check the Globe & Mail web page or have the CBC on, the Tory's write my blog.

Michael Ignatieff (right)

Michael Ignatieff came under a new and rather nasty accusation that he was a little rich boy etc... Iggy's background is  well known to all Canadians, except members of the Conservative Party! It appears that the only wealth the Tory's respect is the kind that you steal from the Canadian people! For example, that old disbarred fart catcher, formerly of the PMO, with the blonde bimbo, who for doing the said broken  fart catcher, will receive 20% of all water equipment sales that might happen to get made! Now this was flashing all across the CBC! I mean the legal contract, in writing! There is no indentured servitude in Canada! There is no trafficking of women in Canada! Oh, by the way, they are "engaged"... Isn't that sweet? The only question I have is, how, does she keep from barfing when she is doing him? I guess that is what they mean when they talk about blonde ambition.....

The young jihadists of the PMO...

The latest attack on Iggy is really greasy. The gist of it, I believe, is that the fungible fortune of Iggy's paternal  stock is not lily white, according to the Conservatives. But as I noted above, the Tory's are very suspicious of clean wealth accumulated over great periods of time, because they are so personally unfamiliar with such wealth. My man Iggy is perfect proof that the office seeks the man!  I would rather see Iggy as prime minister, screwing up the wording now and then, then someone that knows he is so stupid that he orders everyone silent just in case the Canadian people figure it out all by themselves!  Well I think that time has come...

Julian readies another Press Release....

Now off on another perfectly perpendicular tangent. Late tonight at 24 Sussex Drive, the prime ministers security detail ready themselves for the "road". All the panic attack, or em, the "cold medicine" is being packed with care and dread. There boy does not travel or campaign well. It is like being assigned to Diefenbaker prior to flag day! Already the great man is screaming nearly incoherently, at the young jihadists of the PMO. All the young Mounties on their first tour are regretting ever having joined up. It is at times like this that they would kill for a cruiser on a gravel road in northern Saskatchawan, hell, northern anywhere! Any where but another campaign....... Perfect proof of the "missing father syndrome" .

A short listed candidate for the  Tory 2011 Campaign song... What ya think? Does it fit?
