President Obama - Make The Rich Pay

I'm always struck by people who think, "well, it must be because I was just so smart." There are a lot of smart people out there. "It must be because I worked harder than everybody else." Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. 
President Obama, Campaign Speech,  Roanoke, Virginia, 2012-07-13


It strikes the Oracle of Ottawa wonderous ironic, looking from the outside in. That the country that gave birth to unregulated free for all capitalism is the same country were it is soon going to die, and be shoved once and for all back into the box! It was with great relief to the Oracle of Ottawa and most everyone around the whole freaking world that the second term is secured. But, as the Oracle of Ottawa mentioned in a much earlier post, at the event of the sudden demise of a certain bin Laden the second term would be a lock. And although I damn near gave birth to kittens in the early hours of the returns I was proven totally right.

President Obama (two termer)
Stands in front of the next President...

Well to tell the truth, the Oracle of Ottawa didn't expect that every swing state would be won along with the popular vote. Total Victory. While watching GPS on CNN this morning the Oracle of Ottawa learned that Rommney outsourced his "big data" functions! Talk about falling on your sword! Dying by your own bullshit, scum-bucket practices, is just, well, priceless!

And the right wing, defeated, just carried on the next day like nothing happened. Did you notice all the world Conservative Finance Ministers starting to talk at nearly the same time about the so called "financial cliff" ? Just like they all had the same speaking points handed to them at the same time! The Oracle of Ottawa found all that very scary and weird. The prayer circles around the world can't shut down yet. There are rosarys that have the dye worn right off of them! And they are going to be a little lighter still during this term.

As far as the "financial cliff" thing, the President has the right wing by the nuts (both hands...) and just hoping they will jump! If the Republicans play hardball, the President I am sure will just let the taxes kick in after the date. And he will be able to blame the "recession" on the "unflexible" right wing, Just like Pascals Wager, the President just can't lose this one. People all around the world knows what he has to deal with and it is scary powerful, but it must be brought to heel once and for all.

As the Oracle of Ottawa watched the images of the stubborn long lines of voters in Florida he kept thinking of the Great Doctor - Hunter S. Thompson, and wondered how he would have covered the event? Perhaps with a Coleman cooler of six packs and a tape recorder, but that is the subject of another post...or not.

Since all right wingers are visually oriented, the Oracle of Ottawa has included their near future marching orders in a video clip. Chop, chop off you go...
  

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 Increasing Baseness Of the Canadian Electorate

Every nation gets the government it deserves.
Joseph de Maistre, Letter 76, on the topic of Russia's new constitutional laws (27 August 1811); published in ''Lettres et Opuscules

How far gone is a society that will elect a single unwed mother that allows herself to stand in a Canadian Federal Election while presently employed as a serving wench at a University pub in Ottawa, that lives in the Province of Quebec? (And can't even speak French....) And even worse, does not even show her face in the riding she signed up to run in? And even worse, goes to skanky Las Vegas for a holiday during the campaign? And even worse, actually freak'in wins the seat!! Well check out Ruth Ellen "Vegas" Brosseau....

First we take Ottawa...

Do we even deserve to be a sovereign nation?  Do you realize the the Americans could take over this "country" in less than 90 minutes? It would only require three operations carried out at the same time... An Airborne drop on the City of Ottawa, 101st Airborne Division natch...with a Seal Team 6  pop out from the United States Embassy to secure the head(s) on Sussex Drive and various locations in Rockliffe Park... (i.e. the central bank governor....) A heavy armor attack across the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, with another Airborne drop at the Tar Sands Up-graders somewhere around Edmonton Alberta. All over, all gone, forever. We will be like Peurto-Rico. Who would stop them? Who would blame them? We have demonstrated we are not up for it....

101st Airborne -Major's Hill Park, after the invasion...

What sort of political party would allow such a fiasco to happen? What sort of people are so brainless and dick-less to fall for a scam such as this? I have it down to the screwed-up social safety net. With universal health-care every one can get all the pills they want. Especially the welfare skidmarks and the rag ass whining seniors that can no longer afford to eat properly, so they eat pills and stay high 24/7! Oxyconton, prozac, and Kraft Dinner! This in no way will affect your judgement!!

Jack Layton should do the right thing and damn quick! Within twenty four hours he should appear on the CBC with a statement that he has accepted the resignation of Ms. Vegas effective yesterday! There will be a by-election in the riding of Berthier-Maskinonge as soon as possible as per the regulations of Elections Canada. And an apology to the Canadian people would be a touch of class and gravely in order. (MORON!!)

This is the commercial that got the NDP 103 seats... How low do you have to go?

On The Eve Of A New Tomorrow

When one is deprived of ones liberty, one is right in blaming not so much the man who puts the shackles on as the one who had the power to prevent him, but did not use it. 
Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, Book I, 69

There is nothing the Oracle of Ottawa loves to do more on any given Sunday than take a nice long drive up the valley to his home stomp'in grounds of his mis-spent youth in Arnprior and while on the way, listen to Rex Murphy's Cross Country Checkup on the CBC Radio One. The calls that Rex fielded today were some of the best I have heard on any call in talk radio show in recent memory. There is some thing real going on here. This has been the weirdest Federal Election campaign that I can remember. It has been chock full of incredibly eerie "omens" right from the start. And as the campaign progressed they started getting more ominous. Last Thursday's wind storm put the Fear into me of the winds of change that are blowing through Canadian political landscape. You can just feel the momentousness of it all hanging in the very air.

Something in the Canadian psyche just clicked (or snapped) and you could feel that a very large decision on this countries future had been subconsciously and irrevocably made en-masse. You could compare it to a paradigm shift in a major science... This is truly reflected in two momentis and unforeseen events. The first is the engagement of the youth and first time voters. The second was the realization that Jack Layton would make a pretty great improvement as Prime Minister! I did not see this rise in the NDP in the least. But if I wake up Tuesday morning and either Jack Layton or Micheal Iggnatief is Prime Minister of Canada, I will be a very happy camper indeed.

All of these blog posts are written "off the cuff". I first start with a title, than the quote, and finally the moving media at the end. Then I write the text. Just enough to seperate the ads! I learned this from my very first employer in Pembroke Ontario, when I had my paper route with the Pembroke Observer. Just when Lord Thompson of Fleet had just taken over....Yes, that was a long time ago....

Well tonight just as I pounded in the name of the post, there was a breaking news flash on CBC News World... Pretty weird I thought, late Sunday night, and the President of the United States? I thought for a second that Barrack had found another birth certificate or something! And the ratings of clipping the Trumpsters Nuts was so high, I can understand how these things can escalate... But when I heard that bin Laden had cashed his cheque ! Great God Thundering Jesus Bolts!! This President knows who to send out on errands!

All I want to do now is to get to my polling station first thing tomorrow morning and do the dirty for my man David McGuinty, beat it home to the fortified bunker, pull the blinds, and try to quell the tremors! And wonder, what the hell do you do with bin Laden's body? The first suggestion was to wrap it in pig skin deposit it a large glass tube of vinegar and display it at the Smithsonian... But I am sure the present administration will over rule the Republicans on this one... I strongly suspect that his remains will be cremated and his ashes spread out in several well documented, but undisclosed locations. The same procedure that the State of Israel employed with the remains of Adolph Eichmann... And then I hope around Wednesday things start to settle down....

A fitting tune for the events of the last few days..... works don't it??

Geez! It's About Time! A Letter To First Time Voters

Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives...and to the " good life ", whatever it is and whatever it happens to be.
Hunter S. Thompson, Letter to Sally Williams, January 17, 1958, The Proud Highway, p. 101   

I t warms the Oracle of Ottawas heart to no end to see that the Canadian  youth have finally kicked in and realized the importance of one of their primary social duties as citizens. It is not only the old white guys and the residents of the senior citizens day rooms that are going to choose the next government. That is indeed a welcome change.

As the youth of Canada finally mobilize, the back room sweats in the Tory war room are gripped in fear and wet Depends. They did not see this coming. Make it decisive! You are already having an effect. Tory candidates in safe seats are being booed off the stage at the all candidates meetings. And they freaking well deserve it! The evil that you will put an end to on May 02, 2011 will affect the rest of your lives. And your childrens.

This election is especially important to all you young women. I can't stress this enough. If you decide to stay home on May 02, 2011, you might as well down load the burka app for your I-Phone! It is your demographic group that stands the most to lose if the Tory's get a solid majority. If you are still all mystified by the political party thing, just vote A-B-C. Anybody But Conservative.

In elections in Canada today there is no such thing as a "wasted" vote. Vote for who you really believe represents your best interest. Even if your candidate  does not win in your riding, the vote you cast  for that party will receive money for your vote.  If the Conservatives get a majority, that is one of the first things that will be out the window. They really hate true democracy. You alone are not smart enough to choose something as important as your own leaders really....It gets in the way of the Bilderberg Group directives...

If you are a youth growing up in a strict "ethnic" household don't discuss politics at home. If you are ordered to vote for a certain candidate nod yes in your most dutiful manner. No one will ever know who you voted for once you pull that curtain closed behind you on voting day...

The Oracle of Ottawa is what is referred  to in Quebec as "Pure Wool". My ancestors were one of the first founding families of " New France". I think it was 1621 when a French Navy ship deposited forty families on the shores of what is now Quebec. By the next spring only a few of these families survived the winter. It is  their names that clog the phone books today all across Canada! It is with the greatest wistful irony as I look back on my family tree that  has relatives from both sides of the Battle of the  Plains of Abraham. How Canadian is that?

My Grandfather was in Europe from 1939 to 1945. He ran into the awesome Kurt Meyer and his boy soldiers, among a whole lot of other stuff he would never talk about. Another uncle who spent the rest of his life with a steel plate in his skull, in constant pain till his death in the 1970's. Yes those Tiger Tanks were hell on earth.... And yet another uncle (yes I come from a large family...) who could never relate to anyone the sheer horror of seeing the Red Chinese coming in waves at his position in Korea. Don't let our ancestors down. More importantly, Don't let yourself down... VOTE!!

The Canadian Brass, demonstrating the Canadian way....

Canada Election 2011- Three Strategic Votes

" KILL THE BODY AND THE HEAD WILL DIE."
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, p. 22

What are we seeking when we cast are vote in a federal election? I suppose that each of us have our own reasons. Some, only, perhaps the heart can tell. But I will tell you what I look for when I vote. And I haven't missed a federal election since the mid 1970's. I damn well want the biggest bang for my buck and my vote. I want to be represented by the best possible person. And I damn well expect to see my riding prosper from my vote. How hard is that?

Sometimes though, it pays to put the partisan crap away for a session or more. Especially if you are voting in a small economic riding that has been sliding away before your eyes for years. Why even in a situation were your riding has "been in power" and is still sliding away before your eyes, you have to start thinking out of the box. No?
I have been pondering three special situations that would benefit the underlying riding by making a "strategic" vote. A smart strategic vote can give your riding real leverage. You could end up with the result of being represented by the equivalent of five back benchers and a cabinet minister. In a thin minority government, a free independent member representing you,  could bring benefits to your riding for more than a lifetime.....

Simcoe - Gray; Helana Guergis

This riding has about 117,000 residents and covers a huge area of about 2500 sq. km.! Now with your one vote how could you keep the words "Simcoe-Gray " in the news for the next couple of years? A vote for one Helana Guergis would do that. The crap that this woman went through is just the tip of the ice berg. This is standard Tory Bund practice. It is called TMD. That stands for Total Mental Destruction...and yes it is the same method that we use on non-militant combatants. And it is standard practice in the Tory Bund to keep all the minions in line. This is not an exception, it is just standard practice. Are you going to stop this for ever or what?

Saanich-Gulf Islands; Elizabeth May

With all respect, who even heard of Saanich - Gulf Islands? It sounds like a organic eatery menu item. I figure it must be a hell of a fine place and all. But if all you had to do was vote for Liz May to let the whole world hear the name Saanich - Gulf Islands repeated till the whole world was sick of hearing it, a vote for the Greens is a pretty economically effective investment. Not to mention the permanent place in ecological history. That would be really good for tourism wouldn't it?

Renfrew - Nippissing - Pembroke; Hec Clouthier

I saved this riding for the last because this is the birth riding of the Oracle of Ottawa.All my formative years were spent in this riding. Different towns at different times, but all in this riding. From birth to age nineteen. Then I got smart and decided to follow the money. You know a town is dying when you can visibly see it start to fold back into the ground from whence it came. Like when a building burns down, falls down and / or is knocked down leaving a hole on the street never to be replaced. This is sadly visible in Pembroke and in Arnprior Ontario. The only thing that Cheryl Gallant has done for the riding is to make the decline respectable. It is time to try something else. What have you got to lose?

First thing; Hec creeps me out. The creepy demeanor, the eunuch voice, the DSM-IV ego issues. Christ I'm breaking out in goose bumps! And that fucking hat shlick. Jesus on a log boom, he's no Mac Beatty... Just the guy you people need! And for all his "assets" Hec knows the game. You gotta give him that! Did he even finish high school? Perfect. I learned a wonderful Jewish saying in Ottawa. "It isn't the nickle that gets you the seat on the bus. It's the garlic." Jews are pretty smart. You guys up the valley should get smart like that too! You dumb rubes!! Send Hec to Ottawa for a few terms and I swear this creepy geek will bring the riding a CERN particle accelerator! I am telling ya! They will give this guy anything just to make him go away! Up the Valley Hec is a little weird... In Ottawa he is utterly repulsive! Make it work for you people!!! And I really mean that about the particle accelerator... Hec as slight as he is, thinks big. Turn him loose and enjoy the loot!

Creepy as hell to look at and worse to listen to, but the logic is impeccable! You have tried everything else.....

Ryan Keon,Wikipedia and the World

No I thought, that geek in Colorado had it all wrong. The real problem is how to wallow with the eagles at night and then soar with the pigs in the morning. 
Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt, The Gonzo Papers Vol. 1, p. 433

If the great Doctor were alive and well today and stranded in a sound proof suite at the Westin Hotel in downtown Ottawa with the best rented IBM Thinkpad Laptop and the Rolling Stone freaking out for more copy, with only hours before the press deadline, which Federal Election race in Ottawa do you think he would write about?

Yes you got it in one! Nepean-Carleton is by far the most interesting and discussed campaign in Ottawa in this Federal Election. It has everything. The decadent and despised incumbent, The King Hell Bastard of a bad dream, Dream candidate out for the incumbents hide, with every apparent chance of getting it. I of course am referring to the Ryan Keon stalk for Little Polly Poilievre's hide.

It must be going very well indeed! The Tory War Room has even managed to remove Ryan Keons article from Wikipedia! It was all the workings of a user from and of the faculty of the University of North Carolina!
You can be pretty assured that it is not the home of the American Socialist Party. What was the cause of all the trouble was that Little Polly "studied" this and that at the University of Calgary while Ryan Keon's article stated that he not only "studied" more than Little Polly but actually graduated! I am sure you can see where all this is going. As I stated in earlier postings, the reach of the Tory Stasi and / with the Bilderberg Group connections is world wide. 

The reason for Ryan Keons article deletion was lack of notability! What a crock of shit! If you were an known associate of any one of the Five Family's in New York at any time, you would have an article on Wikipedia! No published books, no political office, just that you were a crook in a Mob Family. That in the United States is notable. An honest and prominent lawyer from an august family is not notable! Especially if you are a Liberal or a Democrat.

It is all in the home stretch now. Little Polly is acting like it is all normal, but you can see the fear in his eyes as he feels the suck of the ebb tide pulling at his dainty ankles... He now has that exhausted confused look of the sexy altar boy who is no longer considered attractive enough for further "mentoring". It has been so much fun to watch. Meanwhile on the ground, Little Polly is being out signed throughout his riding. And we all know the rules of the game, don't we? The man with the biggest "sign(s)" wins....

An ancient tune from an ancient time.....

Gilles Duceppe - Captain Canada?!

His eyes were wild, his hands were flapping crazily. "Did you hear that ?" he shouted.
I stared at him. Well...I thought, were fucked. He heard it, too...
Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt, Gonzo Papers Vol.I, p. 446

RE: English Leaders Debate

It is only an indication of the degree of the extreme weirdness of this campaign when the Oracle of Ottawa is mightily impressed by Gilles Duceppe. The vulgar media in all its formats refuse to give this outstanding man his due. Of all the leaders, it was Gilles that had the poshest suit, the best hair, and the acid wit that would rip the balls of of any Calgary stockyard bull. Jack Layton was dressed like a very competent Union rep. that got all his clothes at a Salvation Army. Which is not meant as an insult, but rather his high degree of prudence. Michael Ignatieff got all his clothes over the years at various small boutique shops just off the campus he happened to be at the time. Proof that quality lasts forever. And that leaves us with the sage and daring Steve Harper who was of course shod out at the local Wal-Mart....

Gilles Duceppe - A Great Canadian...

One of my favorite Duceppe attributes is his knowledge of the Conservative, Bilderberg Group, Right-wing, wack-ball agenda. I will bet that "Steve" fears him the most of the lot.. He just won't go away. Year in, year out, one parliament to the next, that damn frog bastard is freaking undead!  And better looking then ever. Better looking than a Separatist has a right to look. Such is the sour grapes of the Canadian political milieu.

The Oracle truly enjoyed every spar and square inch of raw flesh  that Gilles took out of Steve Harpers hide. Gilles had total control and understanding of the monster he faced. For example when he exposed the Tory methods from their own playbook. Such as the present method of campaigning not to scare the middle of the road vote in the hope of stealing a majority. But once with that majority how it would all un-fold. The private members bill for No abortion. The private members bill for Capital Punishment. The private members bill for Pay For View Hangings that would certainly pay off the deficit in quick order.

Stitch in some more stars, were coming....?

Gilles totally has the English gringo's number. Then it dawned on me like a past blast of that wonderful black waxy hash, or that wonderful Carleton University synthetic mescaline we all used to do back in the 1970's. Gilles Duceppe is saving Canada! The insane irony of it all! It brings tears to the eyes. Because of Gilles Duceppe there will be no Conservative majority. No one has ever scored a power majority with out the assent of the First Empire, and well and good that is! It truly proves the Canadian Parliamentary system works. And even in the case of the thinnest out of Quebec majority, it will be Gilles Duceppe and the Bloc Quebecois that will put the nuts to the Tory Bund World Wide Domination Tour in quick order as their Ambassador in Paris informs the French Government and the European Union they got a couple more new members coming on board. Can't happen? Oh Ya?

Retirement comes to us all of course. And someday Gilles' road will come to a well deserved rest spot. That of course is when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should appoint him to the Canadian Senate! Just to keep the remaining Harper appointees shitting their Depends until they retire or die.

Conservative Slow Motion Implosion Continues

As I grow older, I have had to discard some ideas and policies because they no longer make sense. This strikes me as entirely healthy. I would invite others to do the same. 
Bob Rae, The Three Questions,  Preface, p. ix

The Oracle of Ottawa's prescience is only exceeded by his awesomeness! As per earlier postings when I relayed the feeling on the ground, here, in Ottawa that some big, big, freaking change is just waiting to explode on the national psyche I have observed nothing to date to change that opinion. As a matter of fact I see this tsunami cocking up like a Colt .50 calibre hand gun.

The latest indication, while the Oracle was on his coveted Saturday routine, as is my want, to perform my special downtown weekly book crawl, was the immediate notice of all the Tory signs that were visible last week are for some unexplained reason today.. well... gone! The backfire has started. And I have never seen anything like it in all the recent past. I admit I was shocked! This kidnapping of Tory campaign signs is endemic in every riding I have driven through this weekend.  Even, I must admit, here outside the fortified bunker in Ottawa South! At the start of the campaign the Tory's put up a sign larger than Dave McGuinty's at Russell Road at St Laurent Blvd. as they always do...But since the Press coverage of the other party sign vandalism in Tory ridings, the Tory signs all through the City of Ottawa are being held for ransom?

In Sundays Ottawa Citizen there was a story on the great Cheryll Gallant up in Pembroke Ontario who looks all but a goner! Any more of this and I am expecting Jesus on the front lawn at any moment! Canvasing with Elizabeth May, for the Green Party! What else could possibly happen to the hapless and soon to be in the wilderness Tories? Much to my amazement the answer to this question was made clear on the way home from dinner at the Mandarin on Ogilvie Road... The first free time CBC radio commercials were airing... I caught the Bloc Quebecois spot, where Gilles Dueceppe called the Conservative Party of Canada CREATIONIST!  What a howl! I damn near wrecked the car, I was laughing so hard.... You know when you hear something like that the whole shooting match is up in smoke.

But in retrospect as I bang this out on my trusty IBM Thinkpad (T41) appreciating the fast action keyboard, just as another irreverent writer of my youth loved his IBM Selectric, I can only think of one of his greatest lines...."Yesterdays weirdness is tomorrows reason why." (See earlier postings....) And here, in Ottawa, the last couple of years have been really freakin' weird....

It's up to you, you Game Boy, X-Box, Crack berry hammering young punks! This is your Canada to lose...

Harper War Room Rep-Lies To The CBC

Governments steer better than they row.
Bob Rae, The Three Questions, Chapter Five, The Second Question: Charity and Welfare-The Old Debate Is New Again, p. 98

Dear CBC:

We regret to inform you that the Prime Minister will be unavailable for the allocated equal time interview of  Canada's national party leaders. We have been unable to finish the Prime Ministers notes, due to the fact that we have run out of junior staff members. 
                                                                                                             Signed:

The Tory Cloud Rapidly Expands

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.
George Orwell , Nineteen Eighty-Four,  Chapter 3


Even the Oracle of Ottawa is shocked at how well the Tory's are sticking to the usual campaign play book. Possibly thinking that the the Ryan Keon incident of sign vandalism was an exception, the adjoining riding of John Baird suffered a tornado of candidate sign vandalism, every one that is except Mr. Baird. Strange that, isn't it?

It would be a lie if I told you that the spectator scanning of Tory events and the evictions therefrom was not greatly amusing. Now when the party in power cannot bear to have a closet Liberal present or someone else from outside the fold, you must conclude that their is information here! In reality how confident are the Conservatives?  All this confirms my deepest and worst fears.

I had a Secret security clearance once. Decades ago when i was a young lad, all fab... Even back then, if you were a convicted felon, there was simply no question about it. You could never, in this present lifetime, get a Secret security clearance. Full stop and end of story. The only thing that amazes me is how the Tory's can scan a whole crowd, and make every one of their "events" a pink free zone and yet can't call up a criminal file on a job applicant to the Prime Ministers Office? Amazing that... Utterly amazing.

Actually it is only getting started! ( Or... "Wally " Bison races to his next "job")

Tax and Spend or Tax and Thieve?

Well, Just watch me!
Pierre Elliot Trudeau,  CBC Interview, October 13, 1970

Day 10 of campaign 2011 has come and gone. And nothing has changed with the Oracle of Ottawa. This election is to me, simply about finding the best person I can to represent the Greater Good and the good souls of my fellow countrymen. Steve Harper still utterly frightens me, Micheal Ignatieff is greatly impressing me, and Jack Layton still warms my soul.

The programs proposed by Micheal Ignatieff are to me the best spending of a tax dollar that any government can make. You see Mr Ignatieff understands the concept that, economically, there are one or two, shall we call them "endowments" that are in infinite supply. The most valuable one being the unrealized potential of the citizens. It is always in unlimited supply, therefore breaking all the old rules of "classical economics". All you have to do is develop it and damn will that tax revenue flow in! Now I got all the Conservatives scratching their heads in total confusion. Well how do you get a kick-back from that socialist stuff?

Now the Conservatives have a "different " model. No matter how rich and well off Canada ever gets, no one under any circumstance, can ever have anything, if it appears the citizen is getting something for nothing. Efficient government taxing and spending to gradually get more tax, is utterly stupid! Being in office and "power" is just stupid  if you can't make it pay for yourself. So to make a pile for yourself before you get found out you follow the money. Now it is the filthy rich corporations  that have all the money, and are always wanting something, not unlike a welfare mother or a senior citizen, but just richer! Hay! Its the first thing you learn out west / or on the farm... You go where it flows! Right?

And now I just wonder how low we will go as a Nation, before we all rise up and take the Equitable Canada that we all deserve. Are you going to let the blue sinking scum turn this great country into a Bilderberg Group penal colony? Are we going to create the Conservative level playing field? By turning Canada into a Third World country? Thrown wide open to every low life soul fucking corporate whore that can slip the Tory scum the cash entrance fee? Well? Are you going to let that happen?

In Canada, A Four Eyed Tory Will Never Be King

The premise of neo-conservatives is that markets left to their own devices will produce the best possible result, and that political interference is not required. This defies the human reality that people are not commodities, and simply refuse to behave as if they were.
Bob Rae, The Three Questions, Chapter two, p. 39-40

The siege of sleaze of the cosmopolitan Tory's is nearing the end. Ottawa in the last couple of years has been a lot like Washington in the last day's of the infamous Nixon administration back in the 1970's. And this to will pass, like a Taco Bell burrito, lovingly made by an attendant who has just cleaned the toilets without wearing the gloves, and forgetting to wash his hands. The event will be "moving" at the time, but will soon be forgotten... And most certainly, just like getting rid of the Tory's, you will probably be required to flush twice.

The local vulgar media laments at the fact that the Tory poll numbers have not budged in the least. Two local ridings now presently held by the two most prominent members of the Tory man love triangle, have real comers to run against this time around. Plus all the victims of the Tory Stasi are joyfully waiting for the moment to pound one more blue stake through the heart of the Tory beast, come voting day on May second. What goes around, comes around. This is not to be confused with an eleven way, Mr. Baird.... 

Meanwhile out in Kanata, a certain geriatric train wreck, at the age seventy something, is truly beyond his "best before date" by at least a decade! If he pulls it out of the fire one more time, it will be a wheel out to the Day Room after Question period... Not anything that will inspire a lot of confidence. You know, a lot like the last parliament!   

A lot of people ask the Oracle of Ottawa if Pierre "Little Polly" Poilievre is as creepy in person as he appears to be on television. The Oracle of Ottawa must inform you of the truth. That is a total lie! "Little Polly" is ten times creepier in real life! A force field of radiant evil emits from his angelic visage, it is like looking at Henrich Himmlers baby pictures. His husband holds the riding adjoining.... But I digress.

Iggy for PM! Its on and damn near in and done already.....
 

Michael Ignatieff And The Smart Dollar

At no time did a Liberal government in a minority parliament form a governing coalition.
C. E. S. Franks, The Parliament of Canada, Chapter 3, Parliament and the party system, p. 36

As predicted, the campaign is on and the Tory's are setting off all the land mines in the daisy field. As soon as they open their mouths, stupid is guaranteed ! Just like all the campaigns of the past. Talk about choke under pressure, and the dumbing influence of SSRI's. Steve Harper was off and at it early with the announcement of the chance for people to split income, not now, but one fine day, when the deficit is all payed off to zero! Another words the second big lie was launched. Steve Harper doesn't give a flying crap about the Wal-Mart wally's that will pant in anticipation for their hoped for chump change that this would bring, someday....I have yet to see anything more cynical and ugly then these sh*t-sucking, pig-f*cking Tory's.

The NDP helmed by Jack "Vladamir" Layton showed much class and grace with their old idea of limiting credit card rates by legislation to the Prime Rate plus 500 basis points maximum. This is long overdue in this country. If a bank can't make money with this scale it should fold up the shop and hand their bank charter back to Mr. Carney. On the day, well done Jack!

Now we come to the Liberals. A brilliant announcement by Michael Ignatieff with the money for future students of higher education, of  $1,000 per year for a maximum four years. Now that is a tax-dollar well spent! As per my earlier post, a well spent tax dollar is one that will in the future return itself and many new "friends" to the federal coffers. Educated people will earn more money over their working lives. (Even the dumbest Tory understands this...) They will not shop at Wal-Mart, and they will pay much more tax's than the mouth breathing, inbred, knuckle dragging Tory who depends on the "free market" and his own "hard work"...
Iggy is starting to get jiggy with the campaign routine. You can tell. He is starting to relax and enjoying the day. I guess my man David McGuinty had a little chat with him and the fart catchers have been sent to the back of the campaign bus, where they godamned well belong until if-as-and-when required. If he keeps building from here it is 24 Sussex Drive for sure and a run at the record of Mr. King.

Now there was that incident today of a fat ugly woman Tory wan-a-be saying that the 68 year old Liberal candidate was "past his best before date" ! The situation can't be any worse than the example of one Gordon O'Connor....

 How this campaign is going to go... the Tory is on the left, Liberal on the right.....(don't dink with Russians...)

Crisis in the Circle

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.....
