Is our world mad, mad, mad? You bet!

It's been one of those normal days! Conflict and confusion without end. Amen.

President Obama tells us we must all encourage education, especially in technology. So, today, some splendid young woman was the first to get a degree in...Biology? Wrong! Battlefields of yore? Wrong again! BS without end? Meme chose! The academic subject is The Beatles! Seems the city of Liverpool sponsored her.

The Montreal Gazette also advised me in health club etiquettte; don't spit in the water fountain, while the Middle East continues to fall apart in a hurry.

Apparently, even voters lie when phoned by pollsters, so what is their real purpose, if any? I refer to both pollsters and the polled.

Will there be an election soon? Who cares? When do our MPs work, and at what? Who knows!
They scream at each other when Parliament is in session, to impress the voters. What they do interim remains one of the great mysteries of Canada.  They left for Christmas on December 16th, 2010. They start yelling again on January 31st, 2011.

Michael Ignatieff's been taking drama lessons; "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Stephen remains hidden in the washroom while Jack is searching for a hair restorer. As for Ms. May, she is totally preoccupied with finding a famous name she can contest when/if the great day comes and she meets the same fate she did when she "battled" PeterMcKay last time. That woman loves a fight. Win or lose! If she won one, she would look better.

You people have a great day and try to keep a smile on your face. I know it ain't easy. But this brought a laugh - a sign we could put on the front door of Parliament perhaps?

I is for Ignatieff

Following the Liberal Party's 150 year Brains Trust Conference last weekend, Michael Ignatieff, leader of the Liberal Opposition party, was questioned on CBC yesterday. In his responses, he not only avoided answering the questions, all politicians do that - but he all too often, used "me, myself and I" as his subject. It was embarrassing. There he was emerging from a festival of ideas, implying that the party revolved around him! He should have been pulling the party together with we, us, even all Canadians, not I, me, my. That style may be difficult for one with the aristocratic background he has, not to mention the intellectual monogram he has been weaving for several decades.  If he has such little sensitivity or political acumen, I hope the Libs stop asking me to donate to his cause! The old Liberal Party was more astute - and thus, often in power. Gawd knows what the back-room boys are doing to bring Iggy's attention to his shortcomings. Meanwhile, the P.M. must be smiling all the way to the next election, reassured that his luck has changed after his prorogation drop in popularity.
