Back to the political pipsqueaks now: in the U.S.of A. we see the same old tired game going on between the same two old parties: left, right, ying, yang, potatoe, potahto, Republicans, Democrats. Totemized by a pachyderm and a donkey, or Massachusetts Minute-Superman, Mitt Ro, and Hawaiian Punch Obama, Solid-As-Barack! These two, and every other would-be candidate for the presidency are as clownish as it can get - and, after this, Americans still want to be taken seriously by the world at large? After Bush? After Clinton? After Dubya?!? No way!!! They've been clownish way before pint-sized Texans with a lot of money to waste got into this dance - and they will continue to be so! We've said it before, on another site, and we'll say it again: Ronald McDonald for President!
In the forsaken Culbec (Québec, as it should be spelled - and pronounced - trust me on that one, too) there is an absence of contenu or so it would appear... And so, in the absence of true issues to discuss and the ramifications thereof to ponder, there are various annoying sidetracks that annoy mightily - and cost dearly as well... Just ask the P.M. that will never be P.-M. and she'll tell you all about that now - rrrrright, Pauline? Ahhhhh - pauvre, pauvre Pauline...! You gotta feel for her, yes you do - but that is another sordid story, too! Let's just stick to the facts here, for now: there are three parties in the race, really: the other two are petty little affairs (QS - like TQS - is doomed to fold one of these days. And the G.P is, well, just too damn green!) and the rest (like the Conservatives of Culbec or ''Option Nationale'' - WHAT ''option nationale'') barely exist in anyone's mind. The top three parties are the Liberals, who've had the power since 2003, the newly-created would-be dream-team opposition, complete with a ridiculous name: la CAQ! And then there is the good old Parti Québécois - ah, the parti Québécois, with its not-so-secret desire to secede the entire blameable province of Culbec from the rest of Canada. Pauline's wet dream is when she dreams of herself as the reigning Prime Minister of Culbec, achieving sovereignty and signing off a million waivers so that Canada allows for a gaping whole in its geographical situation...! And then she wakes up to the humdrum news of what inane declaration came out of the mouth of one of her ill-chosen foot soldiers - and realizes that the wet dream will never become a slippery reality, especially in the light of the subsequent cascade of inane declarations, each more asinine than the last...
You see, in a vain self-serving attempt to show that her party accepts one and all, Pauline welcomed a certain Algerian candidate within her ranks for the present election campaign... She was enthused to do so by the emergence of QS's Amir Khadir (Capitaine Solidaire himself! Told you that they emulate Americans there: he's the perfect answer to Captain America Romney - only in dirt-poor clothes and tanned. And revolted.) and also reminded to push that envelope since it cost the party dearly in their last attempt at winning one of them pesky Referendum things...! So a multi-cultural line-up of candidates was set as the way to go in order to attract (read: lure and snare) all potential voters, because, in this election especially, where every and any damn candidate is as crappy and corrupted as the next one is, every vote will count indeed! And so in came Djemila Benhabib, quote unquote ''probably as good an example as any of an immigrant who fully integrated Culbecois society'' - okay, we paraphrased! Sure, she integrated their society - she even infiltrated her party! But who cares about that, really...
In the absence of a truly pressing political debate there, or in sheer ignorance and having nothing else to declare, Djemila declared that the sight of the Crucifix adorning the wall of a place she has little business being at: the ill-named, for completely absurd ''Assemblée Nationale'' (Ha! How can it be called a NATIONAL assembly, when it houses elected officials of a PROVINCE, not a nation one iota! It is a misnomer given to a province that prides itself in being viewed as ''different'' and ''special'' when it really is nothing more than a pesky problematic province at best...! But... we are digressing.)
She pushed it so far as to suggest that it needs to be removed, for the sake of all those newly-arrived citizens of Culbec that have noting to do with Christ...!
This ''suggestion'' got avowed Christian (Catholic too) Jean Tremblay in a fury and he snapped as he usually does, commenting that it wouldn't be an Algerian with an unpronounceable name, recently arrived to boot, that would dictate what adorns the walls of local governments and what does not!
J.T. is the famous mayor of Saguenay for one reason and one reason only: he has gotten similar types of complaints from all comers as he likes to begin each and every session of public debates with a prayer - a prayer to the one true God, of course, through the intercession of His Only Son, Jesus-Christ, of course. You can imagine that Crucifixes are involved there, too...! We've talked about this colourful individual before, on another blog...
Pauline - pôvrrrrrre Pauline - jeopardized every last chance she realistically had of winning this election by coming to the defence of her beleaguered candidate who unwittingly opened quite the can of worms here: and, in doing so, Pauline only displayed how out of touch she really is with the population of Culbec overall...! Pauline claimed that Tremblay's position did not reflect the stand of most Culbecois on this matter and that it was unacceptable and irresponsible for him to have dared spoken out, in defence of the Holy Cross, imagine that...! Pauline is out of touch with the populace about their true desire for independence and secession from the rest of Canada - and, now, she proved that she can't even tell that the majority want a Crucifix in the infamous ''Salon Bleu'' of the asinine Assemblée (nationale ou pas!) because it has always been there and most Culbecois have this typical American approach to things, too: ''if it ain't broken, don't fix it!'' Most of them BELIEVE, deep, way deep down in their hearts... Most of them value religion far more than they do politics, too! Not to mention that we are talking about an aging population here: one that clings on to old traditions! Most of the old ''Culbecois Pure Laine'' does, at any rate! Sure, many of the young ones are clueless atheist, inane agnostics at best - and all of the new arrivals (they call them ''les importés'' or ''des émigrés'' with marked disdain) are, usually, from other cultures and therefore other religious backgrounds - but they are still only about as numerous as the fervently pious locals! Thus, saying that an anti-secularisation of the governing institutions stance does not represent the Culbecois equals one foot firmly in the mouth for Pauvre Pauline here - for which she can thank her dear Djemila there! Many dismiss all this controversy as nothing much at all - the same people will say that the separation of Church and State has occurred years ago already, and so it should be. We differ from this opinion, of course, because we know that everything is related and, no matter how we try to separate and subdivide, ultimately, it is all for naught; because in truth and fact everything remains connected! Separation is never the solution; it can only be a phase sometimes gone through, leading to another understanding and better (perhaps more comfortable - hopefully far more symbiotic) coexisting...
Observers decry that real issues of this silly campaign are taking a backseat to this - which is, at mere surface understanding (the level of most Culbecois - importés ou non) ultimately no more than a disagreement over mere decorative details... The truth is that, aside from corruption issues and revolting students demanding free education (they won't get it) - what is there to discuss, really? There is a blatant absence of important issues to urgently discuss because the entire blamed Canada has been spared a great deal of strife! Culbec, particularly, doesn't know what it is to tighten one's belt, to make sacrifices, to struggle, to suffer, to hurt... bad! And so it will go off in a lengthy lamentation about anything or next-to-nothing.
Only in Culbec do such things happen, really! A province so idiotic they haven't a clue what they really wanna do with their 'nation' that isn't a nation in the first place...! A province so unnecessarily complicated, convoluted, completely recoiled upon itself... A province not even at ease with itself: how else can anyone explain their abhorrence towards seeing themselves represented as they really are, speak, go about day-to-day living their little lives (La Petite Vie, anyone? No - that was a hit; a sitcom and everyone, no matter what creed it is, usually likes some self-depricating humor. There are exceptions to that too, though... But it is yet another story - yup. They just don't ike serious, realistic depictions of themselves: to them, it is like a funhouse mirror, without any fun. Case closed.)
The funniest of all about this saddest of aspects of the ''Culbecois'' is that they are genuinely disinterested about their own roots, heritage, legacy or lack thereof...! As evidence of this, it suffices to present to you their very own governmental source of information about their own Prime Ministers throughout history which is not as thorough as Wikipedia can be...! Isn't that pathetic! So what, they wanted to focus on a ''century of history'' only - a century of ineptitude, yeah! All they had to do was add a mere dozen or so extra names to that list to make utterly complete: instead, they deliberately chose to stick to a 1900-onward focus that makes them begin the list with the unluckiest number there is (apparently - just ask Americans...) - number 11! The very first of four P.-M.s to have died in office... Why not start at the very beginning, as ''unillustrious'' as it might have been...? It's not like they have had a lot of Prime Ministers either: remember that, just like the mighty U.S. of A. they are nothing but a pipsqueak of a country, a tadpole in the world's political oceans, with not-much-of-a-proper identity and all of the signs of a dejected colony still...
The problems of these two huge places that, at face-value, constitute two of the best places to live in the whole wide world today and have been called anything and everything, from the ''land(s) of opportunity'' to ''as portas do Céu abertas por nôs!'' - well, the problems are many and as diverse as... their respective populations are. One is admitted as no more, no less than a melting pot; the other is labeled a mosaic - both suck about equally! For such a collection of individuals, coexisting for the simple fact that money is there to be had (more easily, at any rate, than in all of their native lands combined) - well, sorry, but it cannot produce one cohesive nation, ever. Never in a million years. All it is, in truth, is but a collection of mercenaries that are willing to cohabitate, for gain and profit, but it cannot be forgotten that, in the past, all such assemblages were viewed as and tolerated to be short-lived and, once the exercise has been declared gainful for all parties involved, the parting of the ways occurs - and it is often in violent ways.
What if the present conditions subsist for another decade, two, four, eight hundred years? There will come a day when one of these troublesome creeds (for one is always more troublesome than the others) will become greater in numbers - perhaps it will become the new majority? What will it be tempted to do, then, when it has attained that level? The American constitution and Bill of Rights (who is this Bill of Rights? I wanna meet him! Is he and former WCW-wwe wrestler Bill Goldberg ONE AND THE SAME...? Don't answer that - can't you see that I merely jest, at this point?) make it so that even a minority can stir up the pot - and we just saw what the emulators north of their border are doing, too, in the same vein: stirring up some stink where they have no business even commenting about anything...! Where is everything going, then, when those minorities gain the upper hand...?!?
Some have been of the opinion that multi-culturalism is doomed to fail - call it the Tower of Babel syndrome! (Biblical reference - and parallel drawn - sue me, okay?) We recently (yeah - verrrrrry rrrecently!) saw this argument being made yet again, on YouTube this time, on the comments section of a video promoting Charlie Sheen's lame-o new sitcom on FX, Anger Management, of all places...!
And yet the solution has been suggested time and again by the most Luminous among us - amongst all this Lunacy, it is indeed quite the miracle that there are any of those left around, hmm - and the solution (almost typoed ''soultion'' - which is significant indeed, too: it might save your soul!) is simple enough indeed: everyone should just shut their yaps, ignore the differences, embrace the similitudes - and if that doesn't work, just turn a blind eye to all that surrounds you!!! Is that so damn hard to do, uh?!? It worked for Lot... for a while, anyhow...! But here I go again with a Biblical Parallel - oh, sue me, willya? Or... just ignore that last sentence!!! Take the best of the overall message here (or whatever works for you in it) and just move on! IS THAT SO HARD TO DO - TELL ME?!?
Well, evidently (or not so evidently, for thee - but for me, it sure is) we here at the TLB Prime Network are of the opinion that this can indeed be achieved, and with minima effort too! For if the human race has already turned a blind eye to so many obvious social ills, so many calamities plaguing it all over the world, refusing to help their fellow man in the process when he or she dies of easily curable disease, hunger or seeps in abject poverty... Well, then, it should be fairly easy to turn the other way, too, when there is a Sikh around with ''son papier de toilette sur la tête'', or a muslim with one of his flying carpets, or a Hare-Krishna going... uh... ''Hare Krishna''...? We can turn the other way too whenever there is one of those degrading G.P. parades going on, just as we do when a beggar asks us for change... We can turn the other way when lesbians exchange a kiss... Uh, it depends on the lesbians, truth be told - but that is most definitely an entirely other and very different story! Besides, you already got the point we're getting at here...!
Why can't the Djemilas of the political scene be the ones to bring forth more unifying ideas and innovations - instead of being the same nitwits that call for divisive so-called solutions? You want to separate Church and State, Djemila? How can you - you don't even belong to the real Church! (Okay, I really meant to type ''to the Church in question here'' - happy?) That's no solution, Djemila! You're as dim-witted as all your predecessors who got into politics before you did, Djemila! We'll help you out though: because we're just that kinda of peeps! What you should have proposed is this (and we'll even phrase it in terms you can use as if they came from yourself - just copy and paste them, yes, feel free to do just that! You can do just that - right?) - ''the Crucifix represents what it does to many Québécois, and others, such as me, recognize other symbols entirely... I propose we simply add all of them around the Crucifix so that all of the diversity is recognized at once - so that we can all co-exist!''
And then the graphics above (courtesy of whatever Facebook user that it may be) could be used to convey just that message for generations to come (if they ever do come, that is - but that is another story.)
Politicians are none too bright, alas - hence, they can never be expected to be this Luminous.
Hence... They will never go for such a great solution that paves the road to a bridge of tolerance.
Having said all that, it is sad that this is the huge controversy there (never mind what sidetracking they're doing in the mighty U.S. of A. now...!) and it simply deflects from all the real issues that should be discussed instead: and, yes, there are some to be discussed, even up north in ''nothing-much-happens-here-of-interest-Culbec''...! The most abysmal aspect of all this is not quite that it got to this or even that some pea-brained Algerian bimbo with an attitude spoke out about her need to redecorate now (of all times) the very moment she got her first chance to, no... The most abysmal aspect of all this is that the so-called brainier elements of all involved in this farce (which is the election overall - one with an absence of true worthier choice or option to vote for) didn't intervene in the controversy as they should have... at all. Never mind the idiotic Pauline, too numb to see that this has effectively killed all of her chances as most of the elderly will now avoid voting for her like the plague... The equally idiotic Françoise, co-leader of Québec Solidaire chimed in on this equally and totally off-the-mark too, as she focused all of her very misused energies on criticizing the Saguenay mayor for his heartfelt rebuffal, stating that he ''did not live in the 21st Century.'' And there were more like that...
What did all of these morons miss out on, completely? They missed out on the fact that dumbbelle (and not-so-belle - at all - inwardly above all) Djemila there had no business talking about this now, for it isn't a political issue and certainly not a campaign issue. It is, actually, much less of a make a campaign than it is a break a campaign issue, by the way - and poor Pauline and dumber Djemila were too dim-witted to see so, and will pay the price for it now, mark our words...! Never mind that now, though: the point is that all the critics miss that point pathetically as they concentrate on bashing the Saguenay mayor who simply responded to the crazy things coming out of Djemila's mouth. And he got ''ordered'' to apologize to Dumb Djemila, got labeled as some sort of dinosaur retard and got all the negativity for it. What about her?!? She started spouting nonsense that has no business being discussed now!!! But see, that was good in the end: someone asked the question that triggered all this and, with this, we can see what an abysmal party the PQ really is - and now is the time to see this, before voting ballots are cast! Djemila is some kind of Algerian Sarah Palin, thus: her leader, Pauline Marois, some wanna-be Angela Merkel... Ditto for QS's Françoise David. The latter's ''co-leader solidaire'' Amir Khadir is that country's wanna-be Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (!) while the leader of ''la CAQ'' and his cohorts are nothing more than carbon copies of the upstart prototypical American politicians who'd do anything to reach, seize and hold on to power... Enough bad things have been written about Jean Charest and his camp so we really do not have to draw any further comparisons there...! On the American side, it was comical at best with the Republican race to a mere nomination: all the cartoon characters involved there... What, one was Daredevil, another was Mr. Invincible and then we had Mitt - Captain America himself! On the opposing side, the donkey man from Hawaii and his wandering jew co-hort, flanked by the cuckolded dyke and her fishy friends are another tremendous ongoing farce - and to think that this bunch of people has the power of life and death decisions over billions around the world...! A two-party system though it may be, they do have their independents over there, too, and even their own liberal party (the ''libertarians'' - is that a poorly-conceived amalgamation of liberalism, libertinism and libidinosity ...?!? With U.S. history including Benjamin Franklin's ties to the real-life Hellfire Club, we wonder...)
Perhaps the only sane thing to do is to, indeed, laugh about it all. Not in the No Hope For The Human Race way - but almost, quite frankly... We suggest to try this instead:
Well, evidently (or not so evidently, for thee - but for me, it sure is) we here at the TLB Prime Network are of the opinion that this can indeed be achieved, and with minima effort too!
