I mean blogging not power

Word is that Monte Solberg may miss out on a plum Cabinet post because he was so busy blogging that the Conservatives Finacial platform was out days late and even then they did not have the numbers right

Well I'm glad to be out of it frankly - particularly the Phwagh! Cabinet - well just you try spending hours on end with Murphy, Duffy and co as the latest sweat-inducing polls come in.

Just in case you are concerned about their future prospects - after all it's quite an achievement to lose power with me at the helm - worry not. I hear Tim Murphy is to be a 'security consultant' with the Pangloss Institute whilst Scott Reid has been approached to be spokesmen for both Molson and Pop Weaver.

As for me? Well my little 'joke' about calling an election 30 days after Gomery II fell flat. I was kind of hoping the hacks would spontaneously break into a call of 'Four More Years' and I could execute a Putsch. But it was not to be. So I have fallen back on the UN Sec Gens job. I'll start by following up my work at a UN commission on increasing private investment in the Third World and use it to make contacts and set a powerbase for when Kofi AnAn leaves

When I rule the world
Every day will be the first day of spring
dum-di-dah.. dum-di-dee...

Welcome back
So what do you think of my appointments?

Yes Paulie, welcome back.

New Cabinet, yes, yes.
Artful.

Turns out nobody knows much about the Privy Council.

Not Gomery.
Not the blokes that wrote the backgrounders for Gomery.
Not the media.
Not anyone in gov't since before 1940.
Not the public ..for sure.

So if Stevie Harper sorry the Rt Hon Mr Harper decides to run the GovGen's independent advisory board in exactly the same way as you did, as Muldoon did, as Trudeau and M.King did, wh's the wiser.

Appointing a Lib is nice in an 'All-the-Talents' kind of way
Appointing a non-MP is cute too vis a vis the elected Senate prattle of the Reform party.

But ... maybe that's it ... this gang is NO LONGER the Reform party .... maybe that's why the media are calling these boys&gals "Tories"

Maybe the PC's did indeed infiltrate the Alliance/Reform and used the Trojan Horse of S Harper to accomplish a 'reverse takeover'.

Something new occurs to me every day.
