The Importance of Mitch McConnell

Here is a video I finished a few minutes ago; it is full of reverence for our Nation's Leaders.

The Triumphant Retreat

Am flattered to have received another undeserved award from Her Crazy Quiltiness: http://aldebaran14.blogspot.com/2009/01/awardium-leviosa.html
and have decided as a result of my dubious merit to twitch a lifeless limb on this catatonic scribble den of mine. Can you believe it? Throughout the whole of the blessed Year of Our Lord 2008 I took it upon myself to regurgitate just ONE piddling little post! Honestly, I wasn't that busy.

So I suppose, lacking more original inspiration, I shall reflect on things dismal and beautiful that occurred in that preceding annus (don't you DARE free-associate) of ours. Let's see... in the world, almost one year ago to the day, something happened in Gaza (surprise surprise). That time it wasn't 400 children who were blown up, but the wall on the border to Egypt. I must say I was moved to see the pictures of ordinary people desperately acquiring essentials that this brief window allowed them to get. And now they've received a bountiful gift of white phosphorus.

Also of note was the great Andean Diplomatic Crisis, wherein Colombia had some Death Eaters on their payroll summon the Magic Incriminating FARC Laptop. Its voluminous documentation pointed digital fingers at Venezuela's Chavez, Ecuador's Correa, and revealed once and for all that Santa Claus does not exist. :'(

In the Land of the Freebies, some of the white people finally started to feel the pinch of their Empire's steady economic decline, and thus it became an Official Reality. For this reason they allowed a half white man to cheer them up, and now they are extra pleased with themselves. President B(S)a(a)r(d)a(a)c(a)k(m) Hussein Ob(s)ama will, he tells us, do wonderful things in the coming year, like recognize Israel's Right to Defend Itself (from Jewish academics especially), give more Military Presents to the people of Afghanistan, call Hugo and Evo a Source of Instability in the Region, and invest in fixing (not obliterating) America's Glooooorious system of obsolete infrastructure. Fun times ahead, I tells ya.

Here in Canadumb there was a faux-election, in which 22% of the population elected 46% of the MPs. 900,000 votes for the Green Party (including mine) elected nobody in particular.

Goodness, I don't seem to have found any cheerful macro political happenings in the last year. No, WAIT, there was that shiny pin-hole of righteous footwear-flavored protest from one Muntadhar al-Zaidi. May he be an example to us all.


I don't want to seem long winded (HA!) so I will perhaps touch on events concerning myself in a subsequent post/rant.
