Many physical powers, which evidence their existence by their effects, are perfectly inscrutable in their nature; they elude all our powers of observation. Immanuel Kant, Critique Of Pure Reason, First Edition - 1781, p. 343
It is all in and all done, and it was astounding. You could tell Justin was hitting it all just right when at about twenty minutes in to the debate ole Steve Harper's pig eyes where down to the diameter of a micro dot. It was like Tim Hudak with hair. The rumor in Ottawa is that at about this time all the operatives in the Conservative War Room were all turning around in very small circles wailing and gnashing of teeth, as if they had one foot nailed to the floor. But never the less, the Oracle of Ottawa could swear he could hear all the beavers across Canada cumming in their fur...
Justin Trudeau - 1973, always an unpredictable handful...
But it got all much stranger in the second look earlier this morning by Craig Oliver, who straight out gave the young Justin the debaters prize, all around. It was at this time that his earphone seemed to go off very loudly as the director totally freaked out in a rage. It has been that kind of a day.
The 'Harper Government' road show made the essential fine tunings by having a small photo op staged with some of the more attractive rich donors at the site of what clearly appeared to be public housing!? The Oracle of Ottawa is still trying to decode the message.
It appears already that team Harper is in no great rush to debate Justin Trudeau in the future, possible further events are being kept some what vague in tone, fact and intention. But you can watch the whole event again on You Tube. At the time of this writing it has been up for only twenty hours and only about 176,000 people have watched it! According to the Conservative talking heads, no body is interested. And so it goes at the end of Day Six.
Not everyone is worth listening to. Alain de Botton, The Consolations of Philosophy, p. 33
If only the present members of the Conservative Party of Canada spent as much time in the Library of Parliament as they do at the members cafeteria and other assorted deep troughs that Ottawa has to offer, Canada would be experiencing a golden age not seen since Classical Greece! The Oracle of Ottawa can only go on what he has observed this week from the daily Question Period tapes and from the media releases. And it is such early days, and already the wheels are starting to wobble on several shaky wagons. It has all come as a real shock to the Oracle of Ottawa.
Mr. Creosote does dinner....
Most of the cracks are beginning to appear in the front row of the cabinet ministers! One of the most glaring is that of poor James Moore, the ever enlarging, of late, Minister of Canadian Heritage. Is it just me, or is the brightest bulb in the wallmart cabinet transforming into Mr. Creosote before our very eyes? As far as I can tell it all seemed to start at the big victory convention held in Ottawa last summer. The mouth breathing hicks from out west started on him about being too liberal. And dissing Miss Krista on that Sun News TV interview. What of course they were really telling Jimmy was that he was getting way too popular! Poor James is in reality a hell of great guy. The Oracle of Ottawa can tell. A grand Liberal born into a backbiting, grasping, backstabbing Tory world. I figure when the heat gets turned up good and high he will cross or sit as an independent. The Opposition I am sure are keeping a list and they are checking it more than twice.
All queer art - back to the darkest vaults!
Then there is the horizontally challenged Minister of Labour. With her face becoming more ashen and fuller by the day, along with the desperate need for a fashion coach not to mention a personal trainer! Who would have thought the being at the top was ten times worse than the ride up? Welcome to Ottawa Minister! And the press! They are worse than a blood hound after an escaped convict!
Now we come to the Health Minister, who already has that glazed "deer in the headlights" look. What is this poor thing going to do when it gets real hot? Ottawa is no place for the challenged of cerebral density! It is not near a hundred days and already you can detect the jumpiness at Question Period. Not a good sign!
As the Bach recording is coming to an end so must this missive. And I have saved the worst till the last. Of course I am referring to our vertically challenged leprechaun of finance. When a Minister of the Crown is breaking into tears at a press meeting, the wheels are soon to come right off! (Ottawa Sun, Saturday, October, 22 2011, p. 18) But all this was brought on by the said Minister himself. Those damn Europeans don't appreciate little bogy's from the colony's telling them in public how to run their business! He just can't understand it! He always shows up with the smartest central bank governor in tow, like a Fisher-Price pull toy on a real short string! Why doesn't any one love me? The best advice which I am sure I am not the first to offer is : SHUT THE FUCK UP JIMMY!!!! It is always much better to let people assume you are a git fool, without opening your mouth and constantly confirming it! It is no secret that the Minister hates unions, especially members of that god damned European Union!!
In closing, the Oracle of Ottawa must comment on the front page story on today's Ottawa Citizen, concerning the return of art works to the Art Bank of Canada now in various government offices throughout Ottawa. It seems that the "homo-erotic" works of one Evergon are being called in as if their present locations are going to serve as the Canadian Papal Nuncio in the near future! Nothing is further from the truth! All the said "home-erotic" works are being fought over fiercely by three secretly gay Ministers of the Crown, which of course must go un-named.....
A little plug and reality check of the vengeful Gods truth-tellers!!
