Nothing is new. Everything has been said, tried and done. And that is my paraphrase of Ecclesiastes. Woodward is back in the news. And so is Plame and Libby. This is so…so…very…umm…wonderful? I don’t know. The whole case is so stupid, petty and deliberate. Nothing is as it seems. It is terribly written, produced, and acted out; It is over-dramatized, under-played and under-scored by the sheer idiocy of it all; And it is broken up into such small itzy-bitzy pieces spread over such a long and drawn out period of time that it does not satisfy the scandal starved and it does not catch or maintain the interest of an Alzheimeric, Amnesiactic and ADD American public.
Woodward apparently got the CIA operative’s name before Libby supposedly leaked it or something. The case is so stupid. It should not be dropped but the US must have better methods of getting information than waiting for these idiots to come forward and willingly tell the truth. I seem to recall something about CIA prisons that used to be secret. Seems like the US Senate should set up something similar, put those prisons and government investigations under the CIA’s control, and then give the CIA the ability to torture. Like I always say, it is best to practice at home before going public.
Fingers: If you got em, point em. In Quebec the Parti Quebecois elected a new leader. That is not exactly interesting. Leaders have been chosen before. But now the Liberals in Quebec are saying “Here, you can be an MLA in this riding. That way we can yell at you from across the room rather than through the TV.” Nothing awe inspiring. The reason they want this is so that they can question him about some cocaine use he is accused of that happened in the 90′s. Wonderful. Nothing is new. We do not need to discuss what is going on now or to discuss separation or how things could be improved. Let’s talk about the 90′s, who killed Kurt Cobain, why the 80′s sucked, and let’s all wear plaid. Forget about the here and now. Let’s point fingers.
Christmas comes once a year, but no one stops talking about it. There may be an election this year and we all get to talk about it over and over and over. There is a simple solution and that is to wait until next year. I don’t understand the rush to go to the polls, whether it is in December, January, February or March. That is a four month span. Big deal. Why are the Conservatives, the NDP and the PQ so freaking scared of waiting. It would make everyone’s lives easier if they stopped playing their little games. Just shut-up and do your job, stop worrying about getting a promotion or demotion.
The job of a politician is, apparently, not to govern but to get elected. If there is no election at the moment then they are not doing their job. Blah blah blah. Moral Authority. Blah Blah Blah. Non-Confidence. Blah blah blah. Christmas. Blah Blah. No you do it. Blah. You do it. Blah. No way. Blah. I hate you.
Nothing new.
