July 28, 2009 -- Yes, I have been away. Yes, a lot has happened to keep me away. "Don't you know there's a war on?" as Daddy used to remind us when we wanted something or wanted to know what all the hollering was about. Well, if I had a dollar for every stress point I've racked up in this (hollow laugh) summer alone, I could retire tomorrow. Besides my health problems (which have eased -- my heart has risen from 29% effective to 57%, about the best it will get, with diet and medication alone), I have lost three uncles and an aunt, my job, and suffered through four strikes, three water main breaks, floods, and the coldest summer in 30 years. I am still wearing a jacket to work at the end of July. Al Gore Lied.
On the plus side, Daddy's eldest sister turns 99 in September and is still chasing men in the nursing home; and I got a better job with higher pay and benefits within 3 weeks of my abrupt "downsizing" on a Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. (SOP for that outfit from what I have ascertained.)
So I haven't really had much time to think about what King Zero, the fluffy paranoid Chicago puppet whose gold plating is starting to flake off and reveal the rotten wood beneath, might be up to next. Besides, up here in Kanukistan the country is crumbling like wet cardboard (and have we ever had rain to help it along) and we continue our desperate pretense that everything in the garden -- now sporting fall foliage because of the low temperatures at night -- is lovely. "The recession is over!" shout the banks as the stock market drops 187 points and the Canadian dollar follows suit; as unemployment reaches toward double digits, and as garbage piles up in the street while the union thugs shriek their favourite song, "GIMMEEMONEYYYYYYYYYYYY!" and our socialist mayor who has kept his cushy job only with the support of said union thugs tries desperately to find a way to keep that support while keeping his job safe from the angry mobs outside City Hall whose parks, lawns and gardens are piled with garbage patronized by rats the size of Jack Russell Terriers. Watch the Greenies' heads explode as they simultaneously scream against the garbage being sprayed with pesticides and the rats running over their children's cribs! Such is the towering anger of not only the citizenry but the tourists, who are being publicized daily (catch the little visiting tot whose parents have taught him to point at the towering garbage piles and shout "Stinky Toronto!"), that the liquor authority (LCBO) decided not to go on strike after all; and the VIA Rail strike lasted two days, mainly due to the prompt action of the management in laying off 2,000 non union workers and promising to lay off 400 more on Wednesday if the strike went on. Nothing like angry co-workers to get your flabby backside back in that locomotive, eh? And the airport workers were scared by what VIA did, and decided to settle without even going on strike at all.
We have enough to deal with right here around us without worrying too much about Zero's health care destruct-o-matic ... until people start reminding us that if he succeeds in nationalizing the health care down there, it won't be any use for 80% of us to live within a two hour dash for the border as there will be no health care for even those with money, unless we have enough money to fly to India. We're occupied with "honour killings" here in Ontario; we don't have time for some screaming Black Professor, backed up by the Black mayor and the Black President, who says that any cop who dares ask questions of a Black man breaking into a house is a Racist and the conversation is CLOSED, even if the cop is also an expert on Political Correctness when Arresting Putative Burglars and the squad that confronted the man with the crowbar was multiracial and the only one causing a disturbance was the putative perp. After all, we need to figure out just how a car with four Muslim women on board steered itself backward through a number of obstacles into a canal ... after all, everyone who has called in about this has said there is no such thing as "honour killing" even if the woman was your first wife that you hadn't divorced before you married your next wife, and the three girls were your daughters who were under her care! And then there are those three Muslim women (mother and daughters) who went swimming in a hotel pool wearing all their clothes including their hijabs and although they were pulled from the water and taken to the hospital, one by one they died. Solemn article in today's paper opining that Muslim women need to learn to swim and we must provide them female-only swimming pools with Muslim female life guards so they can learn to swim fully dressed in case either of these situations occurs again. That's the Gods honest truth. It was in today's Toronto Sun.
And today a teenaged girl who convinced her boyfriend to stab another teenaged girl to death and leave her to die in a snowbank just outside her own front door, then rewarded the stabber with sex, got a Life Sentence -- no possibility of parole for SEVEN YEARS, meaning three years as long as she doesn't kill anybody while she is in prison...and our version of Bernie Madoff is out on $30,000 bail and the most he can serve if convincted of bilking $50 million from the folks is two (count them TWO) years. That sound you hear is Madoff bursting into tears. If only he had known!
So you folks down in the USA, get on with your revolution. We're sorry (we say that a lot) but we don't have time to help you out with this one. Don't you know there's a war on?
