Historically speaking

2020/11/25

On November 8, 56 years ago, John F Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon taking the White House in one of the closest elections in American history.

53 years ago Friday, the 22nd, John Kennedy was murdered on the streets of Dallas Texas. Interesting that five decades removed from those two significant events questions remain relative to both. The 1960 presidential race was settled quickly when Richard Nixon conceded, ignoring the urging of several supporters to contest the results. Kennedy won the popular vote by just under 112, 000 votes out of 68 million cast, a margin of 0.2%. But his victory coincided with rampant rumours that the political machine of Mayor Richard Daly stuffed Chicago’s ballot boxes to seal Illinois for Kennedy. Down in Texas a story of skulduggery engineered by JFK’s running mate Lyndon B. Johnson was credited with sealing the Lone Star state for the Democrats. Over the objections of many Republicans Nixon conceded on the afternoon of November 9th telling close friends, “our country cannot afford the agony of a constitutional crisis in the middle a Cold war.” But despite Nixon’s decision not to ask for a recount, the Republican party pursued recounts and investigations in 11 states. In fact Earl Mazo, a Washington reporter for the New York Herald Tribune was positive the Democrats had committed Grand Theft. He kept telling anyone who would listen, “there’s no question in my mind the election was stolen…..stolen in Chicago and Texas.” Tipped off by reporters in Chicago, Mazo went to the Windy City, obtained lists of voters in precincts that seemed suspicious and started checking addresses. He recalled, “there was a cemetery where names on the tombstones were registered and voted. I remember a house. It was completely gutted. Nobody there. But there were 56 votes for Kennedy in that house.” At the urging of Democrats. Mazo went to Republican areas downstate and looked for fraud there. He found it but on a smaller scale than in Chicago. Then Mazo hit Texas where he documented similar Democratic electoral shenanigans. Armed with a couple briefcases detailing voting irregularities, his editors suggested a 12 part series on election fraud. By Mid-December 1960 he had published four of the 12, which were carried by papers across the States, including the Washington Post.

Then Nixon called and asked Mazo to stop writing his series on election fraud and dead voters because the United States could not afford a constitutional crisis given the heat of the Cold War. Mazo couldn’t believe his ears. “I thought he was kidding, but he was serious.” Failing to convince the intrepid reporter, Nixon called his editors at the Tribune and implored them to stop the series. Long story short, the Editors pulled him off the Series! Chagrined wouldn’t come close to describing his reaction. “I was terribly disappointed. I envisioned the Pulitzer Prize for crissakes.”

Election irregularities in the United States are an endemic nuisance. Americans call it garden variety fraud but it’s more than that. The fact is no one knows whether the Republic has in times past been the victim of a felonious cabal that used the ballot box to subvert the will of the people. Everything about the 2020 vote is not known but opinions are rampant. A Vegas oddsmaker says, “the fix was in. Trump was robbed. This election was stolen.” Financial broadsheet Lear Capital has important questions about what happened: “from statistical impossibilities, to coincidences that defy the odds, to 100+% voter ‘turnout’, there are anomalies that need explaining. They must be cleaned up before the next election or our beloved republic is in danger.”

The real tragedy of the election of 2020 is that 12 billion dollars was spent on a process that seriously diminished the Democratic process. America is the poorer for the outcome because it failed to blunt the destructive forces that attended the assassination of the Chief Executive Officer more than 5 decades ago.

Next, the decade Americans gave away their birthright.

“this is what you have become…….

2018/10/30

In the wake of the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania made this basic observation—-“this is not who we are….”  suggesting this kind of hateful aggression by an American is not the norm.  That it doesn’t represent what America is all about!

It’s quite possible both cannot see the forest.

Watching events Stateside from north of the border you see a nation in domestic turmoil. And the turmoil is so intense as to suggest irrational thought is replacing  reason.  How else can you explain the Mainstream Media blaming the President for the  massacre in Pittsburgh. The murders of 11 people on the Sabbath in a Synagogue in Pittsburgh was carried out by a man who hated Jews and hated the President because Trump is staunchly pro-Israel.  No U-S president has had the temerity to be so supportive of Israel.  In fact, his decision to move the U.S embassy to Jerusalem has made several American allies in Europe and the Middle East very unhappy.  And you can include a large number of Americans, Republicans and Democrats in that number.

We also have the spectacle of  family ugliness  that many Pittsburgh Jews ought to be ashamed of–taking up a petition telling the President he is not welcome in Pittsburgh.

It says they don’t want the President and the First Lady to pay their respects to the fallen in their midst.  You have to wonder at that kind of  bizarre thinking.  But then you knew no American tragedy in 2018 would be divorced from politics.

And there it is.  Again, ugly dissent from the Soros family, this time the old man’s son  mixing murder and politics.  His organization was the first to declare ‘we don’t want Trump in Pittsburgh’.  Others joined.  The few became a tumult.

You would suppose that most of the people in that city would want nothing to do with this mixing of murder and politics but then George Soros is a Jewish philanthropist and given, I suppose, some measure of tribal regard.

Leaving that for the moment, let’s cogitate on this unlikeliest of scenarios:  Blaming the President of the United States for a massacre as if he with malice afore-thought went to the Synagogue with a gun and shot down members at worship.

During the presidency of Barack Obama there were fourteen mass shootings.  These included synagogue and church mass shootings.  Which ones did he get blamed for?  None, of course.  Only the deranged and political dipsticks would blame the President but look at this compendium of mayhem and murder:

Orlando nightclub shooting, June 12, 2016;

Kalamazoo Uber driver shootings, Feb. 22, 2016;

San Bernardino community centre shooting Dec 2, 2015;

Roseburg community college shooting Oct. 1, 2015;

Chattanooga recruiting centre shooting July 16, 2015;

Charleston church shooting June 18, 2015;

Kansas Jewish community centre shooting April 14 2014;

Second Fort Hood shooting April 2, 2014;

Navy Yard shooting Sept. 16, 2013;

Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting Dec. 14, 2012;

Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting Aug. 6, 2012;

Aurora movie theatre shooting July 20, 2012;

Tucson congressional event shooting Jan. 8, 2011;

First Fort Hood shooting Nov. 5, 2009!

Now let’s return to that statement, “this is not who we are…”

American cousin look at yourself!  Look reality in eye.   This is not Fake News.  You are encompassed by violence on everyside.  Physically, politically, financially and socially.  The family is sorely divided and your enemies know it.

The President was wrong when he said, “this is not who we are.”

America, “this is what you have become.”

“You can’t make this stuff up!”

2018/09/13

Today (September 12, 2018) the Washington Post stretched it’s credibility beyond the pale and shuttered whatever was left of its attempt to be taken seriously.

Today the Editorial Board of the Post made Donald R. Trump “complicit” for Hurricane Florence.  The reasoning, according to this group of unnamed journalistic simpletons is quite simple—Trump is responsible for Florence because of his views on climate change.

The rationalization used by the Post’s Editorial Board in blaming Trump fits nicely with the incomprehensible ramblings of a pathetic wino.

Quoting from the Post—“It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change.  But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming Earth’s systems to produce disasters.”

The Post Editorial wizards nailed the complicity factor squarely on the screws saying:

“When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit.  He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks.”

It’s as if these risks came into being exactly when Trump came into office.

I’m sure we can find a Democrat, someone like the wild-eyed Maxine Waters, who will want to add Trump’s “complicity” in the Hurricane Florence caper to the Mueller inquiry and make it a two-pronged attack of collusion and complicity.  Linking Trump’s complicity to causing extreme weather will be easier to prove than Trump’s collusion with the Russians, making Mueller’s job so much easier.  After all the “complicit” evidence is documented on film and on tape.  Mueller won’t have to use a phony Fiser warrant to prove “collusion”.

Look at the evidence against Trump –  A long, steady drumbeat of violent weather:

Hurricane Mathew 2016; Irene 2011; Isobel 2003; also Floyd, Bonnie and Fran. all targeting the Carolinas. ” Trump is complicit.”

There can be no other reason for Hurricane Florence and all the rain that it plans to dump on the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia over the next few days except that Trump is “complicit.” Hurricanes never before came with buckets of rain and flooding and loss of life.  Trump will cause the resulting mayhem and more.  Just ask the POST!

The Editorial Board of the Washington Post has spoken and hopes  this “complicity”will add another piece of timber to the gangplank that will feel the two feet of Donald R. Trump as he is unceremoniously  dumped into the dark abyss in which he is “complicit”.

“Collusion” with Russia is small potatoes by comparison.  “Complicity” to bring about city-leveling hurricanes and typhoons is big stuff and we thank the Editorial Ishkibbles at the Post for giving us the heads up.

Reaction to this latest desperate attempt to blame Trump for everything is predictable. We all know the Democrats will applaud the Post and the Republicans will equivocate.

Some get it right.

Conservative strategist Chris Barron says daily the mainstream media finds new ways to embarrass themselves and further erode American confidence in them.

“The media won’t give Trump credit for the economy but they will blame  him for a hurricane.”

“You can’t make this stuff up.”

They came with Weapons of Mass Destruction…….

2018/05/18 Leave a comment

Mayor John Tory and a majority of Counselors who sit on his Executive Committee, the ruling Junta at Toronto City Hall, ran for cover May 14 to save themselves the embarrassment of being reminded that they approved an expenditure of three billion, three hundred and thirty-five million dollars without due diligence!

The story in a nutshell: seven members of the public went to City Hall to speak to the Executive Committee as part of the process allowing citizens to offer opinion, advice and criticism.  The issue: the cover up of an expenditure of three and a half billion dollars and counting.  When Mayor J. Tory and other members of the committee complicit in this expenditure realized that they didn’t want anybody talking about it again, the Executive Junta approved a motion deferring the subject indefinitely, abruptly shutting down the right of the public to speak to this matter of importance to the taxpayers of Toronto.  You would have thought the Group of Seven had brought along WMD’s, weapons of mass destruction!  Of course words well chosen and properly directed can be destructive if the target is as vulnerable as this one.

The cover-up:  several years ago Mayor Tory and  a majority of Councillors approved the building of one subway stop at the cost of three billion three hundred and thirty-five million.  Some taxpayers offered disbelief, others suggested Toronto Councillors were sitting on their brains because there is substantial evidence showing the approval was made absent details worthy of  a project this costly.

But it gets worse!  Toronto was offered a Light Rail Alternative to the one-stop Subway station.  The Seven stop LRT was to be fully funded by the province and would have been  commuter ready next year.  Now we all know that if Councillors were spending their own money, the LRT option would be a shoo-in.  But how you spend taxpayers money isn’t that important to many members of Toronto Council.  Taxpayers of Toronto are on the hook for this baby.

But it’s gets worse!  A  study was undertaken comparing the  7-stop LRT plan and the one stop Scarborough subway extension.  The idea was to determine value-for-money.

The report was buried.  The draft analysis concludes the Subway “was not a worthwhile use of money” compared to the Light Rail Transit.  But details never surfaced.  You can only speculate on how ridiculous Mayor Tory and his fellow travellers would look if they did.

Incredibly, although Councillors have never seen a value-for-money report, they approved a motion which cancelled the LRT proposal at a cost to the taxpayers of some Seventy Million dollars.  Add that to the projected cost of the subway  ($3.35 billion) plus the Toronto habit of allowing a 20% overrun on City-funded projects and you can figure a one stop subway station for more than four billion.

But it gets worse.  Because City Council has allowed itself to get involved in flim-flam and subterfuge and hasn’t the jam to admit the “Subway to bankruptcy” should never have been approved, it now shuts down taxpayers who have every right to demand answers.   And the Mayor and his Executive Committee toadies need to show some respect for the democratic process even though they continue to show no regard for taxpayers money!

Of course politcians who have something to hide always fear WMD’s.

                         Words that underscore Miasma and Devious behaviour.

Nazis in the newsroom…..

2018/05/17 Leave a comment

Once upon a time the reporting of  politically motivated events came to us from news correspondents well versed in the gamesmanship of propaganda.  They knew who was trying to make political points and said so.  Not anymore.

Case in vivid point: the reporting of the bloodbath in Gaza on May 15th, 2018.

I read with interest the front page story in the Toronto Star looking for the reasons why a so-called peaceful demonstration had turned up the bloodiest battle between the Israelis and the Palestinians in four years.  I didn’t get the reason on the front page.  What I got was a condemnation of  Israeli forces who, we were told, confronted the many who came to demonstrate peacefully with tear gas, bullets and snipers.  The story noted that some young Palestinian men brought knives and fence cutters.  I turned to Page 4 still looking for something definitive about the reasons for the violence.  Finally, halfway down the third column, the Washington Post reporters who wrote the story for the Star quoted a White House spokesman who said, “the responsibility for these tragic deaths (59 at last count) rests squarely with Hamas.” The rest of the story gave us no more insight on why the Israelis savagely attacked the peaceful gathering of Palestinians protesting the movement of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

But unless you are anti-Semitic or a moron you know the Star story courtesy of the Washington Post was incredibly incomplete.  There was no mention in  this story of the young men with Molotov cocktails, kite bombs, and other weapons to aid in the ultimate goal, “get inside Israel and kill some Jews”  Numerous reports reveal that radical Palestinian groups, especially the terrorist group Hamas, planned the chaos and encouraged the violence.  Photos and videos show a variety of weapons and explosives being used by the “unarmed, peaceful” Palestinians making the bloody scene more akin to war than a demonstration.  Not appearing in the Star story were the words of a 23 year old Palestinian, Mohammed Mansoura, who told the Washington Post Hamas organizers urged demonstrators to burst through the fence separating Gaza from Israel!

“We are excited to storm and get inside”, he said.  And then what, he was asked.”Whatever is possible, to kill, to throw stones.”

But the Star, The Post, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC–and the rest of the liberal mainstream media again gave us the familiar narrative: Israeli soldiers shot at and killed innocent, unarmed Palestinians who had arrived to demonstrate peacefully with their picnic baskets and children in hand.

The coverage of the “Riots at Zeitoun” May, 2018 tells me the spirit of Joseph Goebbels is alive and well.

The Nazis are back!

Doug Ford?….are you out of your mind?

2018/03/27 Leave a comment

It’s cuckoo time in Ontario!  The party of Bill Davis has become a habitation of the dimwitted and cockeyed ishkabibbles!

Having kicked Christine Elliot to the curb for the third time, inexplicably tagging her “unfit to lead” yet again, this collection of the bizarre, like Randy Hillier, chose Doug Ford!

Are you people out of your minds?  The short answer is obvious!

And now aided and abetted by the Queen’s Park news corps, probably the laziest collection of reporters in the country, the Premier’s office has been conceded to Ford and the Lincoln that goes with it.   Has a Queen’s Park reporter ever delivered a hard ball question?  Another story, another time.  Back to the current nightmare!

Piffle, balderdash and poopycock  because there is a lot more to be said about possibly handing the reins of office to this collection of political misfits.  Doug Ford for all his faults, his abrasive attitude, his goofyness trying to protect late brother Rob, the mayor, and his Trumpian tendency to make stupid statements, “….city councillors are little monkeys… ” he is not the major problem.  That rests with a group of just about the dumbest collection of people to have ever assembled under the Conservative Party umbrella.  Inexplicably they have been a unit for the better part of fifteen years.  The mind boggles!

Not since Bill Davis, with the exception of Mike Harris, has this party been so clueless  and you could make a case that he was too.  Clueless.  Nevertheless he made Premier.

Look who they elected leader after Ernie Eves, who should have been easy to eclipse,  John Tory, Tim Hudak, Patrick Brown eschewing  three opportunities to drag the Conservative Party into the 20th century, let alone the 21st, by electing a woman to lead and they wind up with the mistake-prone Tory, the abrasive Mr. Hudak and the misfit Patrick Brown.  In the wings waiting  but never called upon to show the rest of the province that Conservatives could come up with a brilliant talented female leader were the aforementioned Ms. Elliot plus Janet Ecker and Elizabeth Witmer, all holders of several cabinet portfolios. And there were other Harris distaff talents all sadly ignored  by the dinosaurs that populate the party that is now led by the inexperienced Mr. Ford.

Ontario is in big trouble….the polls say the Liberals are toast and the reality is that in spite of great opportunity for success, Andrea Horwath has failed to step up, and the Conservatives who couldn’t organize a two car parade are preparing for victory.

America has Trump and the Lord knows we don’t need that kind of sulleness here.

So let’s put our heads together, put a fire under the Horwath campaign, split the vote and elect ourselves an honest to goodness minority government because that is best for all Ontario!

Why?  Because there ain’t a dimes worth of difference in political parties today…they all promise, they all break  promises, none can balance a budget, all favour their friends and cronies.  George Wallace convinced so many Americans of the truth in that statement during the 1972 U.S presidential campaign  that they had him shot, and crippled.  Right or left makes no difference. They are wings on the same bird.

CNN is a terminal of despair

2017/07/09 1 Comment

This afternoon CNN spent the better part of three hours enveloped in cnnamatic trauma!

Naturally the headline was about a Trump, this time Robert Jr.

Breaking News cnnamatically delivered the traumatic story of  he, Trump the younger, who had met with a Russian person(diplomat, lawyer????) who cares, he was Russian.  And Robert Jr.  met with this Russian because he had been promised information about Hiliary Clinton.

I was watching this at the gym so I didn’t catch all of the incredible cnnamatic details but I gathered the anchors and the quickly assembled  panel of anti-trumpers were delivering the kind of rhetoric expected of this WKRP knock-off.  “More proof that Russia defeated Hiliary, and in so doing delivered to the people of the republic the ‘unbelievable.’ ”

The implications of course were obvious to the cnnamatically consumed anchors–information about Hiliary would mean “quid pro quo”.  We give you information about Hiliary and you will do something for us, the Russians, da?

I suppose it never occurred to the cnnamatically consumed that this exchange would follow the same QPQ no matter who Robert Jr. met with.  Yes, BUT good heavens don’t you see he met with a Russian Lawyer!!!!!!

The story reminded me of the parallel silliness that consumed the Warren Commission.

Among the thousands of exhibits included to show the American people that no stone was left unturned and no exhibit left on the editing floor to support the Commission’s finding, was an x-ray of Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother’s teeth—-leading Mark Lane, an early critic of the Warren Commission to observe: “that exhibit would have been irrelevant even if Lee Oswald had bitten the President to death.”

CNN is so consumed by it’s anger over results of the election which is almost nine months old that it has lost all relevance and has descended into a pit of despair.

CNN isn’t about REAL news!

2015/08/26 2 Comments

Watching the current battle between CNN and Fox news has helped me understand why so many Americans live in ignorance of political realities.

During the past several weeks I`ve been fascinated by CNN`s decision to totally ignore Hillary Clinton’s battle to remain relevant in the face of legal challenges involving her failure to protect the secrets with which she was entrusted during her tenure as Secretary of State.  That battle includes a statement by a Judge appointed by her husband(when he was President) that she appears to be in violation of required procedures involving thousands of e-mails, many of which have been classified as secret. Some Top Secret. The procedures are mandated by US law.

It also includes the Judge`s order that Department of State co-operate with the FBI in finding e-mails that Hillary determined needed to be scrubbed off the e-mail server that she, after a delay of five months, allowed her people to give to the FBI.  The server was blank!  Did it take five months to deep six any politically embarrassing e-mails in her possession?

Fox news has been following the Hillary story, daily.  CNN has been ignoring the Hillary story, daily.  That decision by CNN to relegate Hillary’s e-mail server problems to file 13 was fine until her problems started showing up among polls in Iowa and New Hampshire.  There, voters who apparently are following her story on Fox and in the papers are giving her failing grades for trustworthiness and truthfulness.

The erosion on those two points also prompted friends of Vice president Joe Biden to start a draft Biden movement and his decision to go or not is days away and the CNN viewer has no idea why Joe Biden would want to challenge Hillary who they believe is the answer to a nation’s dream.  In fact CNN has studiously tried to avoid the Biden story.  It’s been mentioned, with no context.  So their viewers don’t even know if Biden is serious about challenging Hillary!

That means the CNN viewer is two stories behind and in danger of making that three BIG ones because if Hillary is charged, either with a misdemeanor or a felony, she is toast!

Now wouldn’t that be a shocker to those who have been relying on CNN to bring them all the news.

Of course, given her track record on the scandals of her previous 30 years(Whitewater, Flowers, Travelgate, Foster, Brown the list runs on) if someone must pay for failing to guard the secrets of the United States while she was Secretary of State it won’t be Hillary Clinton.  Who pays?  Friends and staff–many have fallen on their swords for Hillary, some involuntarily.

And there’s more. Because CNN isn’t reporting the Clinton difficulties their viewers will have missed half the currently running political circus.

CNN, the Clinton-Obama network has been running everything they can about The Donald.  Gleefully reporting his incredibly undisciplined run towards the White House!  Even Wolf Blitzer has been recruited to grind out the Donald Trump saga.

So if you are a devotee to CNN and will not watch FOX you are enjoying the major dump on Trump and totally ignorant about Hillary Clinton’s major migrane.  The FBI is investigating Hillary and her staff and you a faithful CNN viewer don’t even know about it!   The fact is Hillary has been on FOX far more than on CNN.

She has been busy laughing off, mouthing off and blaming others for her latest embrolio.

Will she get by this one?  Will Joe Biden rise to challenge?  Will CNN bring it’s listeners up-to-date??

I hate to say it but I must say it–STAY TUNED.

The Road Back

2011/07/03 2 Comments

/…Michael Vick,  disgraced,  convicted as a felon,  excoriated by his former boosters,  booted from the NFL and sent to jail for five years is back.

Dropped four years ago by NIKE, the world’s largest sporting goods company, Vick has been re-signed by Nike to a multi-year contract.

Terms not disclosed….but the circle has been joined and the Philadelphia quarterback can say it, “the road’s been rough but I’m back………….

/…It was a stunning reversal of fortune moving DSK(Dominque Straus-Kahn) from  5 to 20 in Sing Sing to release

on his own recognizance and back on the road to the Elysee-Palace.  Before his strange encounter in a New York hotel suite he was being

given better than 2 to 1 odds of winning the French Presidency.  The encounter cost him his job at the IMF but he was preparing to leave that anyway

for the move on the Palace.  It will be some time before the image of the “perv” walk is erased and before that’s erased there will be some messy days in a New York courtroom.

But in France, DSK’s tangle with the New York police is looked upon as a badge of honour!  Make way for the DSK motorcade!!  Maybe?

/…Conrad Black was whiplashed in a Chicago court by Judge Amy St. Eve  and he’s going back to jail but there’s a silver lining….a couple of days after that shock, Black got some goods news!

Prosecutors told his lawyers they will be returning the 5 and a half million dollars they confiscated from the sale of his Manhattan apartment.

They have been holding the money for almost six years so he gets it back plus interest.  Lord Black is on his way back BUT not before the prison detour.  Nevertheless

the light on the other side of this tunnel is freedom road.

/…In Thailand, another stunner!  That country has elected its first female Prime Minister.

Yingluck Shinawatra, is the 44-year-old sister of Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister who was ousted in a military coup five years ago.

His sister has never held political office but she leads her Pheu Thai party to a majority in the Thai House of Representatives.  The hope is with this majority

she can calm the nation that was wracked by deadly riots just last year.  Her victory is impressive when you consider the numbers…

Forty parties looking to fill 500 seats.  Her party wins over 300.  She’s earned substantial political capital which Thais are hoping will be spent wisely.

/…Now consider how easy it is to squander, political capital!   Rob Ford arrived at Toronto City Hall with immeasurable political capital  and even after

making some silly statements about blowing up work already done on solving transit problems, and sticking to that nonsense about Subways to Nowhere

he still had plenty.  So as he was about to embark on his seventh month into the job,  his approval rating  high and his political capital account flush,

(Political capital-never easy to attain and even harder to retain-look at Flinty Mc Guinty) why would he squander his largesse on such a stupid decision.

“If invited I will not come to the Pride Parade.” NO NO NO!  Substitute FATHEAD Ford  for MAYOR FORD!

…don’t take my word, that his Political Capital account has diminished  exponentially–check out Sue Ann Levy in today’s Sun.

She has been one of Mayor Ford’s major media boosters.  She writes, “in their six months in office, I have never seen the mayor and his advisers

screw up something so simple as recognizing an important community in this city and attending just one(only one) of a signature series of events.”

…  Sue-Ann Levy..The Sun July 3, 2011!

The Ford Political Capital account will not be replenished anytime soon and although there are supporters of his “hell no, I won’t go” mantra

you have to be seriously without political moxy or common sense to see Ford’s decision as anything but goofy!!!

His road back is uphill!!!

/…Others who are finding the road back difficult include Federer, the Williams sisters and Sharapova in tennis and

of course Tiger Woods.  His ride continues on a muddy road.  Lost his wife, his children, his home, his stroke and his health with no prospect

of finding the Road Back, at least in the foreseeable future!!!

Hudak leads by a long shot

2011/06/26 Leave a comment

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1015084–hudak-tories-roaring-toward-a-majority-poll?bn=1

The saddest news of the day comes via an opinion poll posted on the Daily Star—-

namely that Tim Hudak and his band of warriors have been selected by 41% of the surveyed to lead the province, if the election had been held  when the survey was conducted

whenever that was?????

The good news is: that the election won’t take place until October 6!

There is a possibility that common sense will prevail and the common people will come to their senses and narrow the lead given Hudak in this survey conducted by Forum Research.

That they will come to their senses and throw more support to Andrea Horwath and the NDP and to Flinty McGuinty who needs to find better people to help him run the place if he figures to be in charge October 7th.

I mean look at his dismal choices–for ministers:  Margarett Best, Harinder Takhar, Dunkin’ Dwight Duncan(poor image), and in the past George “pitbull” Smitherman,  Jim(full of myself) Watson!

Flinty McGuinty doesn’t have a lot of ministerial support and that’s not a good thing.  But that may be cancelled by some of the stock waiting with Hudak—think Randy Hillier,  Jim Wilson, Bill Murdoch and Frank Klees.

Bottom line, Horwath needs to make an impact and a big one–quickly!!!!!!
