Behold..I have a peace offering for all those Americans whose states are coloured red on presidential election newspaper maps.
I just bought Palin's new book , New Europe,(Phoenix Books)(Can. $18.95) about the author's trips around Europe(2008) meeting what are now called "six-pack Joes".
Okay, so it's not bad.
As the famous Independant newspaper reviewed,"...observes shrewdly, writes wittily, laughs with, not at people, and charmingly slips in a huge amount of information"
Behold, Pax Ron.
Bern----I saw that!. Folks, he just wrote the whole thing with his tongue pressed firmly against his cheek! That borders on cheekiness! Tongue against his cheek. No wonder he used to date three women at a time( and not one of them a non-vent!) !
'Course I think they were dating WC cubed call letters instead of him! Cheeky sot you are at times, Boss!
P.S. -He actually did buy that book..but from the discount bin at $6.95! Teachers are as tight as the bark on trees! B.D.
Turkey: Allo. I am Jacques Layton . Turkus Canadiensis.
Vent: Nice to meet you. Where do you live?
Turkey: Ottawa. Sometimes I live further west at the centre of the universe.
Vent: The centre of the universe! Where's that?
Turkey: Toronto of course !

Said with a French accent and pronunciation.
(Do you know what the Language Police(collective noun) is? No, well this line is nicely basted with irony)
Turkey: Allo. I am Jacques Layton . turkus canadiensis*.
(Jack Layton(who speaks fabulous French is the socialist democratic leader of Canada) The Language Police in a certain Belle Province west of us would not allow this *title at the top of say a School of Latin. It would have to be in French and twice the size of the words below in Latin or English or whatever. In other words this is a deep inside shot.(it's not really)
Vent: Nice to meet you. Where do you live? (A setup line)
Turkey: Ottawa. Sometimes I live further west at the centre(this spelling is Borders Bait) of the universe.(Now he's talking about the Big Smoke, or Trawna.)
Vent: The centre of the universe! Where's that?
Turkey: Toronto of course !
(This is really a shot suggesting Soo Sweet Marie is the importance epicentre just because it has both Finnish and Italian consulates )
Keep your stick on the ice,eh?
Our national election is in five days and to Canadians a discussion of politics on this site is a hoot and a good , enjoyable chance to rip a comrade. Thanks,Steve.
