All the World`s a Stage

I think we should run a little experiment, are we mind readers, do we possess the powers of ESP, no but we are pretty cagey sometimes, here it is, 11:00pm Thursday night,  10 hours before the Cutting ledge show on cknw, you know,  they should change the name of the show 60 minutes with Larry, Curly and Moe.....

OK...Here`s the experiment, picture me wearing a turban, similar to Johnny Carson and Ed Mcmahon doing their Karnac routine, the all seeing seer from the east....What are the three stooges going to talk about tomorrow?

The stooges will start by laughing in tandem at Dana Larsen, Tommy Chong`s name will be brought up and there will be more group chuckles, then Palmer will bring up the name of Nicholas Simons, he will be referred to as  one of the extreme radicals, one of the dissidents, one of the "bakers Dozen" and they won`t stop there, Palmer will describe in detail a heated exchange between Mable Elmore and Nicholas Simons over the James revolt, Baldrey will start chirping how Nicholas Simons got in hot water with a First Nations group over a run of river project in Simons`s riding, ......The stooges will then on message pound away on the giant unrepairable NDP riff and throw blame towards Nicholas and Harry Lali.....

Then it will be Harry Lali`s turn to be ridiculed, David Schrek`s name will be brought up as they tear Lali down, they will talk about Lali wanting blood on the convention floor, how he wants the gender rules canceled, and they too will call Harry a dissident, a radical, a back stabbing heathen, Baldrey will then talk about how no females have thrown their hat in the ring for the NDP, to which Bill good will pipe up with ...Why would one, look how they treated the last female leader....Cue-up another group laugh......


By now it`s 9:20 AM....The remaining 10 minutes the stooges will talk about the other outsiders who snubbed the NDP, Peter Julian and George Hayman, Baldrey will then chirp in with, pot heads, radicals and extreme left wing ideologues, no wants to take the reins of the NDP.....They will then finish off the first half hour promoting Farnsworth and Dix, Horgan won`t get much play from the stooges because he`s the one the Liberals fear the most!


We here at the Straight Goods know that both Farnsworth and Dix have much baggage that the Liberals will exploit against those two.

The second half hour will start with the stooges talking about the Ida Chong recall and how it will probably fail.....The apologist Baldrey will chime in with, The people have their referendum, Campbell`s resigned, the public has no appetite for recall....Good and Palmer will concur...

Next they will be talking up George Abbott and Christy Clark, they will mention Clark`s endorsements, ...This section of the show will be fluff and puff....The phone lines will open, I expect the first few callers will be laughing at the NDP and reminding us of the 90s....There will be another group stooge laugh.....They will barely even graze over BC Rail....One real caller may sneak through and ask or mention how bad the BC Liberals look on BC Rail to which Baldrey will state how the public isn`t interested in BC Rail, the Liberals have been elected twice since then,.....Then Palmer and Baldrey and Good will all agree with a tightly focused review on the $6million dollar settlement....Not a public inquiry but a review of the policy.....

 There it is folks, that`s tomorrow`s cutting ledge show.....You faithful can grade me later after the show.

I have to say this, I really am getting tired of David Schrek crying wolf, Reid complaining and quoting Palmer like he`s the voice of the NDP...Norman Farrell bashing Nicholas Simons and Harry Lali....

I really believe that the NDP had/has internal rats who sabotaged the NDP in the last election, the advice from Carole`s advisors was brutal, they pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory, ....And the tired old voices can`t stop crying over Carole`s demise, they can`t let go and all they do is feed Les Leyne, Baldrey and Good with more "great rift tragedy" stories....The story has no legs....Yesterday Farrell posted an angry letter to the editor sniping at Nicholas Simons, it was a pathetic letter, amateur, what next, are Reid and Schrek and Farrell going to post articles from the Fraser institute!....

Dana Larsen will do nothing but help the NDP....How stupid can you be, pot isn`t taboo, Dana Larsen and Tommy Chong will help the NDP, they must be treated with respect and not ridicule...... Nicholas Simons....Let`s talk about Simons, the "Big Fight" with Mable Elmore....I can remember during the last election the media and the BC Liberals called Mable a Zionist, a hater, a radical, a religious extremist, oh how quickly the media forgets when it suits their fancy, Mable Elmore would be the one being called the angry violent radical if the roles were reversed....But it seems like Schrek and Farrell have selective memories.....Or perhaps other motives?

Harry Lali, I can remember the last session of the BC Legislature, the HST debates, if I remember correctly Harry Lali had the best speech, the best lines, Palmer and Smyth wrote about his great speech, the media talked about it....Harry Lali was NDP gold then.....Perhaps you people forgot that speech, let me remind you what  Lali`s speech was about...I`m paraphrasing here...

Colin Hansen will be at your wedding collecting his HST, you can`t get married until the HST is paid, at your funeral, you can`t go to the other side until you pay Colin Hansen his HST, Hansen will reach into the coffin and won`t let you go until the HST is paid....

That my friends was a legislative classic, Corky himself would be proud.....We were proud of Harry Lali then, my how short people`s memories are and how times change, now Lali is a jokester, a radical, a back stabbing SOB.....

I don`t think Simons or Lali stand a chance of becoming leader, Schrek, Farrell, Reid, they know that too...So why the hatchet job, I truly believe those three want the NDP to lose the next election so they can have the pleasure of saying....

"I told you so"

Childish amateurs, like their record for success is anything but an fffff...Carole James was a lock if she had one decent advisor last election, she didn`t, she lost again, and the name calling from the criers extends to Bill Teileman, calling Bill the organizer of the revolt....Well Bill T wasn`t the organizer but say what you will...

Bill Teileman is a winner, a winner with Glen Clark, a winner with no STV, a winner with the first successful petition in BC history, Bill walks the walk while the one`s who talk the talk have no trophies, no ribbons, no premierships, only bad advice.

Are they laughing at Moira Stilwell?  Who? Exactly, she`s out....What about Christy Clark falling flat on her face, De Jong, a comedy of errors, De Jong might as well pull the plug now.....Falcon, my gawd, let the bird man run, falcon can`t win a general election, people hate Falcon, it`s a visceral response to Falcon`s demeanor, that leaves George Bobblehead Abbott and the missing 5000 new long term care beds he promised in 2001 along with the HST, Deficit lies while he voted  lock-step with the party.

"I like our Chances"

Those stooges, the cutting ledge stooges, the three above mentioned NDP stooges, they call themselves pundits and politicos, in the know, politically savvy, are you that stupid, can`t you see how the NDP are a lock, can`t you see John Horgan pulling them together and when the polls hit 50% support for the NDP the whole team rallies because they will see victory, they will visualize cabinet posts, almost everyone  in power are in line for a position, how many ministers are there...20 plus ministers...Unity, teamwork, success breeds success and one good poll and the revolt of 2010 is history and victory ours..

Can`t you see the vision, the people of this beautiful Province are starved for a clear fresh voice, that voice doesn`t exist in the Liberal party, John Horgan is that voice....The passion, the vision, the future, those who capitulate die..

We here at the Straight Goods are for life and hope and smiling children, we will never surrender, time to turn the page.
