Within a blink...

He's in the clink

Disgraced rock star, Gary Glitter
Gives tips on how not to be bitter
"Get a Vietnamese
Spread her legs at the knees
Then see if your schlong will fit her"

AdTrap
The Tories message was 'pos'
Their leader looked like the boss
So I pray and beg
Please make their ads 'neg'
They did. Our gain. Their loss

Regina stop
Well at least thats Saskatchewan out the way

Spending time in Regina naturally led to thoughts of queens and the current interest in them over in old Blighty

The Brits are now following our lead on same-sex and Sir Elton is one of the first to make a move, marrying a Scarborough lad no less. The wedding, traditionally taken at the home of the bride, is taking place in England so I suppose that means David Furnish is the boy in the relationship. Thank goodness for small mercies

Moving on to the real thing, HRH is having her upteenth portrait done by that lovable rogue Rolf, 'Tie me kangaroo down sport' Harris. He's a ex-Aussie so I would have thought he would have come out with something a bit shocking but apparantly it's a 'comfy' rendition of the old biddy

Still I'm sure this would have crossed his mind, unless his lack of a Latin education meant he had the obvious rhymeto the praire province's capital

Sipping tea from the finest bone china
Rolf said "Pose on this recliner"
'I can now do the queen
As she's never been seen
with a view of her bum and vagina'

Leadership etiquette
Andre Boisclair's victory in the race for PQ leadership appears to confirm that the taking of hard drugs (at least until middle age) is now no bar to election success.

Although Dubya never admitted it, it is a generally-held assumption that he too was a user until his religious conversion. Even in stodgy old Blighty, the front-runner to head the Conservatives David Cameron has only denied snorting cocaine since he became an MP. The implication is obvious

So it would not surprise me if at the victory celebration after the forthcoming election several of our young hopefuls ensure that they leave a bit of white stuff up their noses for the cameras as a way of setting their mark for a time when I graciously step down

Its the truth dear friends, not a joke
If you want to get on, take coke
Heroin or crack?
They'll vote you back
Just never get caught with a smoke

What a dingbat
I'm wondering if these Chretien cronies are doing it on purpose

Yet another of one of my predecessor's pals discovered with his hands in the cookie jar

I floated the old 'But he made the Mint profitable' line, one I'm planning on using with variation in the next election campaign but not sure it was entirely successful

It wasn't the overall sum
That proves that Dingwall was dumb
No. What was worse
He raided the purse
For a $1.29 pack of gum

Plus ca change - excepte une ( Pardon my French Ed.)
Well back to the same old same old. Managed to get in first with the "Let's have some decorum" baloney so look better than opposition there

One good thing is that we finally get rid of Clarkson. With any luck she'll revisit her beloved Far North and fall down an ice hole. Although I rather doubt if she wants to brave the weather. Seems like now I refused to grant her request to become GG for life a spot of rain is an excuse to take it easy

Just in case you didnt get the subtext of my farewell speech to her, here it is

The spendthrift GG's got some front
So for once I'm going to be blunt
So Proud and vain
Met all with disdain
Now sod off you miserable cunt

Katrina - My role
It is tempting to get down to New Orleans before Dubya sets foot in the city, but I've settled for a tour of our boats going down there. Gives me a photo-op without the distraction of starving kids and saves me having to hunt down my passport

I had planned to tour The Big Easy
But dead bodies make me feel queasy
Admit that? No Way!
So I think I will say
After Oprah and Bill t'would look cheesy

Soft Wood - Hard Ball
I should have touched wood when I was basking in the easy life just a day or so ago. Ironically, the softwood lumber issue has burst into flames again with some of our guys getting their knickers in a twist about the latest refusal by the Yanks to stop applying levies on exports down south

They want me to talk to Bush - like that would get me a long way. I'm sure the ensuing increase in housing costs is really impacting his finances

Of course I'm mouthing all the nice platitudes

The American position is absolutely untenable. It's unacceptable. When a panel comes down and makes a decision, that should be honoured.

but the only talking I'll be doing with Dubya is apologising for the rhetoric.

Oh and passing on some useful advice to my officials

They reneged on a contract you built
But do not at a stronger knight tilt
Go down on your knees
Say 'Hurry up please'
And it helps if you're wearing a kilt

'ricks and ricks
One of the attractions of the GG - OK not the main one - is our mutual interest in the limerick form

Presumably trying to impress me, a character trait I always enjoy in a woman, she mistakenly intended to release her statement in that style.

No doubt intending to treat lightly what is after all a storm in a teacup she did not appreciate that verity is not a virtue in politics
Just take a gander at her draft before the PMO got to it

Though not known as a country wrecker
'Twould come easy to any fact checker
That if push came to shove
The land that I love
Aint Canada. I'm a Quebecker

Still gives me a chance to educate her a little in Politics 1on1

Pennies from Heaven
If he didn't already exist, we'd have to invent him

May I please present, Germant Grewal
Did the tories know he'd betray all?
Cash please. No receipt
Was not too discreet
His comeuppance? "What will you pay, Paul"

Inquiry Notes
As far as feeble excuses go, my predecessor's reasoning for dropping his suit against the popular Gomery takes the biscuit

So JC let me get this straight
In the proceedings it now is too late
But it's also too early
A discrepancy surely
Have you lost your marbles, old mate

-------------

Pretty convenient for Bill Graham that the Americans refuse to testify at the Arar enquiry, as he was able to lump the blame on ex-Ambassador Celluci and Colin Powell.
Before they accept the ex-Upper Canada College student' view that Arar wasnt mistreated, they might also like to check out his sex-toy collection I have a feeling his definition of torture is unnaturally narrow

Sixty Years On
Art Eggleton finally admitted why he pleaded to go over and represent Canada in the land of the windmills. He was after some Netherlands Nooky

He had it on good authority that the women are still extremely grateful to Canadians for their liberation from the Nazi jackboot and are willing to show it in the time-honoured fashion often two at a time - hence the expression 'Double Dutch'

Anyway it turns out his information was half right-half wrong

The good news. The women are as open to offering sex as they were in 1945
The bad news. It's the same women proffering their wares. Eighty years old if they're a day

The Dutch girls are willing, no wonder
The Canucks tore the Nazis asunder
My dear old Pop
Went over the top
But I get to go 'Down Under'

Well at least i would have done if Sheila hadn't insisted on coming

Coriveau Testomemory
Last week Roy and Corriveau sparred
And the questioning got a bit hard
When put on the spot
Though a lot he forgot
He remembered the Alzheimer's card

We're off and Limping
No. Not Terry Fox - I'll get to him later

Not sure Tim's ( Tim Murphy, PM's Chief of Staff. Ed. ) email to our MP's had the response he was hoping for

The latest opinion poll chills
Time for Tim to impress with his skills
But it made us sound manic
When he said "Don't panic"
The reaction? "Let's head for the hills"

He obviously never watched Dad's Army
